Since that photo was taken I have put chrome springs back on the rear shocks and replaced the aftermarket rear sprocket with a genuine one (because the aftermarket one didn't have the correct cut-out pattern).

Ohhhh yeah! She's hot!!!!
The seat looks pretty good compared to mine, good to see the helmet lock and lift handle are still there. Are the front disc slots different to standard or is it just the overlap of the two discs? Did you replace the rear wheel guard with an original or was the original long guard still on it when you bought her? So many were cut down it's rear to see a full length example these days. I agree with rear sproket, (how many teeth on the 6 Hour original spec?) have fitted aftermarket sprockets but not anymore. The genuine sprockets are not that much extra and I have found that they last longer as well as look the part. Did the E27 6 Hour Kat retain the 630 profile chain or go to the lighter 530? Hmmmm, Miss Alt Feb, so nice.Badgezz, we don need noh stinkin' badgezz!

I forgot that in that photo the disc had a bad score mark around it from a stone caught in the caliper and I'd photoshopped it out (not very well obviously). The disc has since been replaced. The seat isn't too bad except the three grooves at the back are starting to lift. The rear guard is original and it still runs the 630 chain. I thought about converting it but can't bring myself to take it away from original. (I had a jacket that used to leave a tiny black mark on the tank which could have been easily fixed by a small piece of scuff tape on the tank - I replaced the jacket instead!)
