So today i cleaned the EGR again and topped up the oil and other fluids. :D

Went to the ITOC annual over the weekend. cracking time. Pictures and Vids on my members ride thread:

viewtopic.php?f=46&t=34626&p=540666#p540666

Today I fitted this:

Had to "adjust" it a bit to fit, and it needs some "tweaking" as its a bit bent, but in all sets off the front nicely.
