Nope, didnt mention the reflector at all.

I asked him if I could watch (politely of ocurse, I know it bugs some people). He said no probs and was actually quite chatty as he is a friend's friend's friend etc. Maybe he forgot coz we were chatting

I had a single advisory for the aftermarket exhaust, that was it. It just said "Aftermarket Exhaust fitted". lol.

He even sorted me out a couple bolts for my exhaust hanger, as they were mismatching ones I had lying around.

I bought a can of lube from him as well, even though I dont need any yet, just as a kind gesture for being so nice.

If you are having difficulty getting jump leads onto your battery terminals, clip a pair of mole grips the positive terminal and the jump lead onto that. As said there's lots of places you can put the negative.

You don't need to put it on battery, or even clip it anywhere, just touch positive to the contact on starter motor to crank engine

That would involve removing fairing tho, I'd be too lazy for that!
