Wouldn't really call it a tool box- you could keep some chewing gum in it maybe!? I cut mine off as soon as I saw it along with the so-called helmet lock...

Will dig it out and take a snapshot. Oh- not sure if the lock on it will work with your key..... FABIO put up a message about that recently.

There's the little fella!! Only problem now is the Paypal is buggering me about.. Give us a bit to sort it out and I can take it down the post office to post it to you (maybe this weekend) if I'm not busy falling off the said bike....
Not sure I'm a ninja- they are supposed to be silent and deadly!! Maybe a drunken ninja!!!

thanks - no rush- I tried riding the CRM yesterday - but have had pulled a muscle in my arm since the weekend.... ( hurts when trying to wheelie or anything fun.... )
Ninja's - silent but deadly?

Beer coupons- can I drink them???
Anyhow, don't want to be compared to anyone's farts- 'misses or not!!
Consider it a gift Fishy!! Not even sure how much it will cost to get to you, how long it will take, or even if it will get there!! -This is 'Nam for God sake!!

Just to stick my oily nose in - doesn't take much water ( about 0.3% ) to make the oil cloudy - anything above 0.5% will drop out and you'll see the water at the bottom of the jar ( if you enmpty the oil into a jar and leave it )
My CRM got some water in through the gearbox breather I think after some severe water dunkings down some greenlanes so the oil went a sort of murky grey which is what that looks like to me - if you think there is water in there, just give it a change, get it nice and hot with a run which should burn any residue water off, or just do another change.
been through any puddles lately ? or could be a leaky water pump seal, but you would know that as the coolant would need topping up ?
Cheers
