Still awaiting oil sender unit so will fit once arrives, and hopefully tick that one off.

Not much else planned, possible seat backs covered, and possible a red s badge for the back to add a hint of colour..... did order one but to small, as was stated as large, can't seem to find one online, or that states the dimensions




Anyone had seats wrapped at all, opinions on colour choice...?,samples previous owner(Nick above) had on seats which I kept for reference





Thinking possibly something like this for back but undecided as yet

Oil sender unit turned up yesterday so today's job was swapping over, had already purchased a 19mm crows foot spanner. Tried attacking from the top but no luck, could get enough room or leverage to break seal, so jacked up and wheel off. Couldn't get onto, so heat shield off, no torx sockets, so now a full set to the tool box. Once off and two extensions on socket could get on nicely. Was stuck right so oil sender 1- knuckles 0!!!! as it slipped with the extra extensions. Got off with longer socket wrench and new one on, all back together and best bit, test drive all working fine now!! Will let cool down and then check no oil anywhere. One more job down

Picture of the new one in place looks loads of room now can see new one!

Er thirsty but massive fun and the noise it makes is ridiculous with the secondary cats (for the us market - anti smog in California) removed. Previous owner done that and re map at MSL so running 523 bhp!!

It's no 911 and you know if has weight but been on loads of mountain bikes journeys I could not do before and down to north Devon with family, tonnes of shizzle , roof box on the bars and bikes on the back using the Saris bike carrier. Ideal.
