Milk & sugar? :)

I love my vice, it's my favourite tool! Except when it traps the skin on my hand between the bar & spindle, ouch!

Put the callipers back together and bled up the front brakes other day and did them again today a little bit more air came out the system so its defo bubble free now

Today i striped and cleaned the rear as the rear has been sticking on and the disc has been scorching

rear piston was stuck on one side 8O one came out fine the other was a wombles nightmare hence the sticking on

also found the a previous owner / garage has stripped the thread on the calliper bracket on one side, douche bags so need a new rear calliper bracket

brakes all done now front and back, both wheels turn and spin free and brakes are working like a new bikes

defo worth while doing if its somthing your bike has not had done in a long time, difference in a piston and seal clean / replacement is night and day

Good work Seb :clap:


Today I loosened the clutch basket on the engine for the race bike and remover it's fly wheel ready for when funds are available to get two lightened .

Removed a speedo clock face to be sent to rob Image
I made a note of where the needle sits in its neutral poison

So it can be fitted back in the same place .
And did a little polishing of the standard exhaust headers and had a little tidy up as it's getting full in the garage again .
