    Emailed my dealer to enquire about buying Honda's Fuel Stabiliser. They don't stock it, so I had to buy a box.:rolleyes: Well, I didn't HAVE to; I'm just pedantic about OEM products. Worked out well though; they didn't put mark-up on it so it cost me 6.50 per bottle. (12 in box).

    You'll need some stabiliser for your stabiliser

    That's about 900 litres of protection, is it motorcycles or a petrol tanker you run :D

    Stabil is ace. I used it in my tank when bikes & car were dormant for 1.5 year!

    Saturday 28/7.
    Not doing anything yet. Watching the cloud direction and reviewing my 14 weather apps!! Not shaping up well in West Midlands. Tomorrow's not looking much better either.:(

    First weekend in ages where the bike will be staying in the garage. May clean the bugs off it from the past couple of weeks, but not going to trust the roads after the downpours of recent days.

    Nice, Hitch.;)

    You might consider an HRC decal in lieu of the Racefit.

    Have you considered the rear? I put a carbon rear (courtesy of @dansp1 ) on my 2011, but left the front as OEM blue. I don't want to over 'carbonise' mine, but am on the lookout for a carbon chainguard.

    Yeah, I removed the OEM carbon hugger in favour a smaller version, see here....

    Ah, right. You're into small hugs then!:D

    Just noticed the white rim tape. Makes a change from the usual red on black wheels. Might steal that one for my RR4;).

    View attachment 49609 After being inspired by the cleanliness of @hitch bike (above) I decided to do some serious detailing work today. Sorry it's not a Blade, but that will come next week:D

    Yes, I understand the logic, however, that would make an extra 5 metres of tyre wear. I am very conscious of mileage!:rolleyes::)
