Thanks Tink.
A big thanks also to Glenn G for letting me look over his.

You tread on the heels of many, till you come where the ways divide.

And one lies safe in the sunlight, and the other is dreary and wan, Yet you look aslant at the Lone Trail, and the Lone Trail lures you on....

....Bid good-bye to sweetheart, bid goodbye to friend, The Lone Trail, the Lone Trail, follow to the end.

Tarry not, and fear not, chosen of the true;

Lover of the Lone Trail, The Lone Trail waits for you"

Shame I|didn't know about quadzillaparts.co.uk last year as it appears WK also sell a case saver themselves, called a Stay Chain for a whopping £1.80 :pinch:

Choose 'Engine Assy' from the 'Assembly' choice pull down, or search for Part No 730320122 :

Quadzilla have them on back order, may go down the falcon route

Had a day out on the lanes with Glenn and some friends and was impressed at how well the wk looked and for the money seemed a bloody good bike

Looks good in black m8, I think the crash bars on mine need welding in some places as it looks like they have just tap welded, if I do that I may as well have them powder coated red

Here it is in white, changing the tyres to tkc80s
I've cut the side stand to shorten it by about 1.5 inches
I've got a new spare centre stand if any one is looking for one
