I thought you were hanging shit with that title :?
But obviously you have realised the value of experience over PRICE and the illusion that if you
pay through the nose you get good quality :kuda:

nah there is a nice little slot in the left side of the ZXR 250c lower fairing that always had me wondering what it was for.......now thanks to a day in afore mentioned garage and one minor carb set back when chucking it back together........i now Know with that long phillips head sucker you can reach the front 3 carby clamp screws without ripping left lower fairing off..and the one rear easily with the 600MM

as for hanging shit nah....as said lesson in mechanics that i had got on saturday has demistified something i'd always baulked at trying.....................
