HAHAHA @ my friend. He was installing a performance upgrade on his carbs and this happened. All in the name of one nasty screw that wouldn't come out after trying for 2 hours all the normal conventional methods. Ended up having to destroy the plastic cap over the carb (whatever that part is called)

Stop laughing and buy/make your mate a better work bench. Bedroom furniture is not normally the most stable of surfaces to work on.

Still you cant help but look at that and think... '0_o WTF is going on here!'

You are right though work bench required for sure first time I have been there but for future visits will certainly help put something together a bit more practical

Fitted my new HI mount exhaust to my K5 SV650 today. The bike is progressing well.

Love it.







Oh and I finished my track bike off too. She's fully rebuilt after my crash at Cadwell.
