As a treat for doing so well on her first trip out Mac treated the XS to some bling  in the shape of a new fork brace to stiffen up the front end.

In addition the two into one inlet manifold made by the great mad prof was sadly treated to sand down and a coat of paint. Mac would have loved to have kept it  bare brazed but the heat dispersant laquer wasn’t up to the job and it started looking scruffy.
