Thought that one was sorted ?
Or was you robbing bits from it for the yellow one ?0

Took her for a 70 mile ride up to my brothers where we (mainly him ! ) removed the fairing and changed the left hand switchgear that was playing up with the main beam switch , then " we" removed the rear wheel and fitted new chain and sprockets,rear pads and cush drive rubbers!
Froze my balls off on the way up there and more so on the way back but was well worth it!

You may bone your yahoo however you wish.

As long as it's consensual, that is......

Fitted proper Honda anti-vibration bar end weights and wired up the grips. Looked outside at all the salt and muck and said, nah. Not the shiny Honda. So took the old MTS for a ride. Two miles from home, in the rain, it stalled and the battery could barely turn the thing over. Was fine when I started so it looks like it's not charging properly. F*cking Ducatis. Had a nice ride though....

Busy day today. Fitted a pair of high levels, painted the fork lowers, fitted some rim tape and generally gave it some detailing love.
