That front cylinder bolt is a right fooker. :crazy: How long did it take you to get hex bolt out and put the vacuum bolt in? I expect you left the carbs on to do it.

Well Done. :clap:

today i found the missing bracket to my blueflames i took off (was in a bag in the garage loft) so spent a while cleaning and polishing them up ready for fitting, i like the scorpions but the neighbours have been complaining to my dad and as its his house ive got to put the blueflames back on with the baffles inplace. also took it down to B & C and got Pilot Road 3's on the front and back

bought a voltmeter too on ebay

Not done much just removed the scorpion cans and fit the blueflames onto the scorpion link pipes, look okay just so much quiet sound like pussy cans with the baffles in, will just have to take a pair of cir-clip pullers out on a trip to remove

i guess it does take the piss a bit though with the neighbours i would be fukcing steaming if i was sleeping and got woke around 3am every night by a twin with race cans thumping out side my house

Eventully got round to fitting proflex shock at the weekend. Had it sent off to proflex for servicing and then resprung at Maxton. After these costs it didn't turn out to be the cheap ebay bargain I first thought it was.

Changed front and rear wheel bearings at the same time

Also just had a set of the Maxxis Diamond tyres fitted today.
