I have the files to print them, but not yet enquired to get them printed after their probable final update (by me anyway) you are welcome to the files. I will pursue printing the kicker tank stripes soon- ish. I'm just going to burn an updated archive to Blu-ray Data, and checking I have the latest versions for it in the folder. So far have done back ups for printingI, Kicker NA O/R for black (red) NA silver ex emblems NDB black and silver (Red) ND white/black/red I have a tank with original NC decals, but never started doing that set as I've no reference except the tank a d it just soaks up so much time! The NSR red I picked from a swatch needs a touch more tomato sauce to match the original R-33!

Front brake caliper. Am I losing my bloody mind ? In my tiny stupid mind I thought the pads were held in like this A couple of number 15's and a 16. Job done. BUT ! Mine would not budge. Number 16 removed, gently tap about. Nuthin. Tap a bit harder. Nuthin. Hot it up and smack em. Nuthin. Undo everything else, stick em in a vice, loads of WD, smack em again. Nuthin. OK. Cut em off. Drill em out. Then the lights came on. Is this something new ? Have I missed something ? Or, has some blithering idiot threaded the holes, made custom threaded rods, and over- engineered a perfectly good original system ? To my mind, mild steel and aluminium fuse together over time, which, guess what? Make little rods impossible to remove. But like I began with, is it me ?
