can you spot the mistake?

Post by billinom8s »

So I get all sorts of bikes in all sorts of conditions come through my garage to be fettled with.
:-bd

Some in better states than others, some are pampered princesses and then there are the other ones....

I'm currently trying to make safe a bike and at each turn I'm running into a previous fettlers work.

Can you determine what I found here???

Hint, it's not the owl from Clash Of the Titans :)):

Is that from a 990 SMT?
If so then I suspect it's the way it should be.

It's not the wrong way, it's just extra fluid capacity calipers.
