    Such a refreshing channel , I watch many motorbike channels on UA-cam . They all seem to start off humble then before you know it they are all big time Charley's out of touch with normal bikers. Keep up the good down to earth work .

    Another cracking video mate, she’s not a million miles away from being done, it’s a credit to you !! I must admit I was secretly pleased the rear tyre wouldn’t go back on as I just know you’d have set off to Scotland with it on, having ‘pretended not to see the cracks’….. keep up the great work and thanks for the mention, you’re not so bad yourself… 😉

      Also Baz be wary when you first start to corner with the pdf units - it’s a little strange the feeling of pdf unit as normal bikes u brake hard prior to corner and get the satisfying dip of the front end. It’s not so apparent with the pdf and very unnerving braking in a corner. It’s ok when you know the bike. Make sure pdf on same setting cheers Shane

    Good day sir. All the way from South Africa. Where can I talk to you about spares? Building a Suzuki Katana Pop-up myself. Need light control unit and the duck tail for number plate light. I don't have a light unit control box at all so need one even if it is broken just to see how it is made and wired. Do you have any spares for sale maybe? Love the channel. Thanks Leon From Capetown South africa.
