Anyone else noticed the copious amounts of 'Anti Gas Warning Paint' (or at least that's what it looks like) applied on the tops of the headlights and blackout masks plus a large teardrop applied to the top of the tanks?

I think its the first time I've seen the extra knee pads fitted to an M20 saddle.

Why are those extra knee pads there?

I wonder if its the sort of thing Frank Brown (pegasus- drive) could repro. Would be nice to have a pair.
Cheers, Mick.

The Saddle cover is owned by Lex but I guess it can be used as a pattern. I have it here and if it's ok with Lex I can take it with me next time when w'll meet again don't know where don't know when.

Danny they are simply to protect the knees of the pillion passenger. You mean you haven't got them for your girlfriend? Shame on you. Ron

Who let my brother on the forum???!!!
His girlfriend can vouch for the need of the pads on the back of the saddle as they do cause injury in the event of an accident

Thanks Ron. My other half doesn't much like the M20. She's suffered quite a few miles on it now and I've pensioned her off as far as that bike's concerned.

No footrest rubbers, a grab rail you can't reach, a bouncy saddle, slow up hill, not much faster downhill; you can understand her point of view.

I wondered if you were related Dave

Sounds to me like you're spoiling her Danny! A good thrashing with a hazel twig will put her in her place Ron

Good idea, Ron. I'll try that tonight.

apparently that Bofors is an airborne one, designed to be carried in gliders!

Yes Clive. You'd realy want one behind you as you crash land a glider Ron
