Right.
Trying to make a concerted effor to turn this into a proper spec thread, so have edited and updated the OP, including the head gasket and full service I just carried out, and the new black levers I just fitted - mainly because I needed to replace the uncomfortable brake lever, which as you can see in the photo below, was bent like a rapier handle, from when I dropped the bike in the road.
I might get time to wash her on Sunday, so I'll take some up to date pictures then - there are still currently no reasonable pictures of my ZXR with the new tail tidy arrangement, the Renntec grab rail, and now with the new levers, so I gotta sort that out...
On the downside, I diagnosed (with some help from zimm and my friend Ian riding it up the road so I could listen to it) the bike with a shagged sprocket carrier bearing yesterday. Hopefully today, my local mechanic Martin Ashby (the ex-speedway rider) will be able to press in a new 6205 for me, so I can ride it to work later.
Here's hoping.
