Booked it's MOT for Friday.

Bought some leather Trews & some gloves, not technically ''done to my bike today'' but I thought I'd let you know. :lol:

Just finished a complete nut and bolt spring clean. Can't believe how much crud has accumulated. Taken me 3 days. Also fitted a new tinted double bubble, a pro bolt kit to the fairing, pro bolt fluid caps, oil change and new chrome oil filter.
Used 2 tubes Autoglym, ! bottle wax, two cans WD40, 2 cans de-greaser, 8 lint free clothes and a sh1t load of elbow grease, Now looks the poodles gonads!
Silver is now the fastest colour!!!!

Took Ole Red for it's yearly fondle by a strange man with the power to say 'yay' or 'nay'......

The man he say ''YAY''! Result. :thumbup:

Have to admit I was a bit concerned that he would say 'nay' due to the Harris pipes, but he actually said ''That sounds nice.'' :lol:

Then added that it was far too clean. So I killed some flies & bugs with it on the way home.

Swing arm and shocker out, all the bearing greased up and put back together, cleaned the arm whilst it was all apart, so thats the last of the once over, time to get her back together
