That is anal to a whole new level MrB, but can I just point out that some of the books in the shelf aren't arranged in the correct height order!
£165 from motogb on eBay. They have loads in stock! Why the bike don't have these as standard I don't know! Great bit of kit and so easy to use.
Polished her down , put some fuel in her and got all the paperwork and spare key ready for dropping her off at the dealership tomorrow
Haven't been out on the bike for the last week on account of my tonsillectomy but felt a bit more chipper today so I thought I'd head out for a quick ride but then noticed that apparently when my bike recently went in for a service to the main dealer they helpfully decided to lube my chain for me. Not sure exactly what chain lube they used but it looks like it was Castrol Flingtec or Motul No-stay-on because my freshly powder-coated rear wheel and the back half of the bike were absolutely COVERED in the stuff. I tried to clean it off with Muc-Off but it didn't even touch it even with a brush. Resorted to cleaning the entire wheel with a WD-40 soaked rag and then the same thing with the chain. Then did the whole lot again with Muc-Off. It's taken ages. I coulda cried
Dropped bike off at dealership and said goodbye. Then picked up tail tidy for the new one from the post office. new on here on Tuesday
Fitted an Acuman gear indicator yesterday and so programmed it whilst on the paddock stands. Went to take it out today and took it off the stands without noticing I still had the stand up........crunch!!! Thankfully no damage to bodywork other than a mark on the single seat cowl which I've ordered touch up paint for. The problem was the screen which smashed. So I've ordered a Powerbronze replacement. Not happy as I was supposed to be going to Oliver's Mount tomorrow as well
Went out for a spin is alot cooler today which is nice, nothing worse melting in leathers. i got a couple of pics from a few weeks ago, fitted full problot kit on, gillies rear sets and a carbon fibre heat sheild, personaly i think it will look alot better when i get some downpipes. i origional removed the stanard one but it looked pants looking at the cat.
I downloaded a map for my Power Commander V which I've just had installed - then took it for a test run. Not sure if it was the placebo effect or there was an actual difference? I think I need to take my bike to a Dyno test center and have it properly installed and calibrated. Any thoughts?
Also today - I have been a busy boy....lol I bought a after market headlight unit from the states the other week, all in it was £76 which is a real bargain; the quality is excellent to. Anyhow, I placed it in the oven and disconnected the lens from the housing ready to receive the projectors. It was a very simple job and took minimal effort; one to note is that a fan assisted oven only requires 3-4 min's on 160C-200C I'll be posting a YouTube video of the whole installation
I did this!!!! Can anyone tell me what this is?? The cables off ?????? Baffled Had a run out to Stratford upon Avon still runs fine it's not the throttle I'm guessing automatic choke Any help would be Much apretiated
Popped upto Arthur's for a chat, nice ride up there had a good chat as usual and asked his advice on fitting a sat nav to my bike (how and where etc) he talked me through a few ideas and then 10 mins later he knocked up a custom mount lol Top bloke!
Popped into the dealership to sign last of paperwork and pick reg no Bike arrives tomorrow so will be back in for some pics
Got some new Dunlop 212's fitted, non abs Blade and no problem with standard hugger. Stompgrips and Rand G offset bobbins and mirror blank plates fitted to . Even in the sun on the stand the new rubber was sticky n soft 3 days on track next week at Le Mans. Whoop whoop. My chinese fairings are stuck in a warehouse in the UK (motogp Repsol 2013 colours, due to some plank putting them in the wrong pile...now China has to raise a complaint to get them to me, oh well, @*it happens.)
