Got it sorted with a little help from Johnno.

And then had the joy of getting the seat back on. It's so tight in there with the airbox, I nearly asked to borrow one of my neighbours kids to hold the bolt :p

I have to say, while I liked being able to see the rear shock / frame, I think the airbox completes the style of the Sport.

No, just a very petite female.

Brian, you do me a disservice, childish smut never entered my head and my comments were aimed specifically at the size of each cylinder on the motorcycle.

The girl in question is known to me personally and is a nun from Berwick who does part time, discreet modelling jobs for charity.

It's all a matter of scale, since the female is a 4ft nun from Berwick, she does make the jugs on the bike look big.

I'd wager that actually she is just further away from the camera.

Ahem - the "jugs" actually look like cylinders from an old radial aircraft engine... probably a Pratt & Whitney of some kind.

Just thought y'all might find that information useless...

Looks like an oversized Flying Millyard....
The proximity of her bell bottoms (over 55 alert) and the chain is giving me palpitations, never mind the jugs...!
