thanks rich, i was thinking the same, sometimes i think too much!;)...i am trying to locate a separate sample for comparison.
what i noticed most was the strong toluene odour, i will see how the color looks in daylight also, rather than the garage light!
i will report the ride resuslts in due course, unfortuately it will be a difficult test since the bike will have a new piston and reed valve. if i am not pleasedd after 5 gallons i will go for sealed cans of c12...i also found a place nearby that is open 7 days and has a load of nutec on stock.
thanks
