Well last Friday actually, sorted my satnav mounting and power point out

Bought a Ridermount case/mount from fleabay and then knocked up a right angled tube that clamps into the hole in the headstock tube (probably another name for it !). Got a "waterproof" cigarette socket and the whole thing cost me about £23





Oh and the power point doubles up as a point to plug the battery optimiser into



Tested at the weekend and works a treat, also got a set of bluetooth intercoms so that I can tell me daughter to "kin" hold on !!

Happy days

That's how it was set up when I got it and always seemed ok to me so never fiddled

[agentpineapple]

cleaned and prepped my spare front wheel, 2 coats of primer, i've just got to spray and laquer it now.


i also gave my spare single seat cowl 4 coats of clear laquer. the pictures don't do it justice, in natural light it looks very nice.
beauce its carbon wrapped and then laquered to a nice shiny smooth finish.
its not perfect, a few wrinkles in the carbon wrap, but there ain't any on the top, so it still looks good.
i'm thinking of selling it.....£30 if anyones interested and that includes postage.

Bought it a magnetic tank pack... cos my rucksack has made my back protector bruise my spine & wombles my already bad shoulder when loaded with laptop, power cables, wash stuf, jimmies, clothes, shoes etc..

Double ouch!

[agentpineapple]

i can't help myself, i'm trying to improve my carbon vinyl wrapping skills, creasing at the corners is the biggest problem i seem to have, i'm getting better tho.
heres one of the mirrors i did last night and also the plastic headlight protector i did this morning, both have been laquered, it will be interesting to see how the vinyl stands up to being laquered and then the elements.....



i have to paint the stem on this mirrors its a bit tatty.
i'm a bit pissed off because theres a few bubbles in the laquer of the headlight protector, hahaha after all the effort not to get bubbles in the wrap......



next up is the other mirror and then the headlight surround.....MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

Is there anything you won't wrap? I would draw a line at the tyres mate.

[chi kung]

Started bolting it all back together. Got the forks back on just waiting for my brake seal kit.

it's heat youve got to watch m8 as it stretches back where youve pushed it in the curves.
theres a few bits on my mates gixxer with full wrap where theres massive air pockets under the wrap.
looks ok from over there like but when you're up close///

[Vtrkidda]

i'm still learning benny
i'm getting better tho, heres the lastest bit of bodywork i've wrapped and laquered, i also removed and filled in the little side light, once the headlight protector is in place it will look wicked.....



i've just got the other mirror to do and thats it, no more for awhile

[thumperslaw]

Fitted Hel lines all round!

Much better feel on the brakes
