@NINJA tasty! You've got the fever haha.
Won't ever be finished because you'll always add bits haha.@Louis-James Being a perfectionist, there always comes a point when you have to draw a line and stop. I put a lot of work into getting my wheels perfect and some numpty damages them in seconds. OK it was only 2 small chips which were hardly noticeable unless you were close up, but to me they were enough to try and fix them. Sadly they would not polish out, so a full rub-down and respray was required. Mint wheels will be reappearing very soon............

@NINJA that's a shame! Always when others touch your things they get damaged

Yep that about sums it up right there, the wheel is all resprayed and lacquered now, a quick tyre clean and she'll be ready for fitting;

@Calum Thanks bud - And it would be rude not to get an MX, then you'll have a Sports 122 and a SuMo 122. Plus there's only about 200 left in the UK now!!! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

@NINJA I think if I were to get another SM it would be an EXC300. No sense it having two 125 SMs or two Rotax 122 motors lol

Fork Refurb Time;
I noticed an oil leak on one of my USD forks, so I decided to replace the oil & dust seals. I also took the opportunity to refill the forks with some thicker oil, as I like my forks a bit stiffer. Judging by the state of the seals I removed this was a prudent service.
I bought some sexy Ariette seals with upgraded XNBR material. Longer lasting and better performance for less than OEM units, so it was a no brainer really.
