    I always take the belly pan off. I'm sure I have looked at it before and thought I could maybes get away without doing that but it's not the worst of the plastics on these bikes to get off.

    Thats probably put an end to the excuses not to do it then. Bf is finding the oil and filter for me in the morning.

    Remove belly pan, 2 bolts each side and a slightly fiddly clip arrangement at the front of the belly pan. Just note how it comes apart, it’s not too difficult. Once the belly pan is removed you can access the drain plug and easily access the oil filter.

    Cleaned her, and stuck her back in bed :(

    covid-19 sucks balls

    waterless clean using vulcanet wipes
    Chain clean and re lube
    Polish plastics using mr sheen
    WD40 wheels to shine up

    nothing major but a half hour or so well spent.
    Fired her up to upset the neighbours too :D

    I changed the oil in mine, bizarrely, the sump plug didnt have a washer on it, so found a spare in my kit of bits to put it back together. might wash it tomorrow.

    Spent the rest of the day polishing the car, it doesnt half look good, proper pleased with it, even though my driveway is, er, under construction

    Those Honda badges cost a fortune, spoke to several companies, no one would touch it due to Honda copyright ffs !!
    loads on ebay that are 50 or 60mm but only wanted 30mm

    Got them made by a dodgy Lithuanian in the end. :D

    New 90 degree valves in with new road 5’s a week or so ago
    Got these cleaned and ready to go on with the dry break lines when the new orange ones come and the new levers turn up next week.

    No I haven’t Liam, I had the accosato master before I got the calipers so just carried on with that.
    I’m thinking about it at the moment as it does make sense to go with the lines and dry brake couplings all from the same place.
    Eyeing up the new released rear caliper from them aswell.

    Does look a good piece of kit, trying to justify it when’s there’s nothing wrong with the one I have, that I’m telling myself might have something to do with it as it’s been under a lorry
