Hmmm, we just had a big snow storm couple days ago and today it's 12*C.... what in the world is going on here? Must be the global warming playing havoc with extremes.

Fitted Carbon effect hugger and Scottoiler.

Deliberated for a while as to where the reservior should be mounted, settled on this in the end...It works, and will allow me to use full capacity, less fill ups.

went out for a good 100 mile shake down run on the storm to make sure their no leaks from the oil lines :thumbup:
i also played with the compression dampening screws as the front felt a little harsh over bumps .
half a turn out fix it and now feels planted .

i also took it to the paint shop that did the paint work so they could take some pictures for they portfolio and they didnt think it would look as good as it did .

after another 70 mile just for the fun of it i got home and treated kermit to a wash and wax

i had a good ride today in the sun with clear blue sky's :Tongue2:

fair play player, that was one bad trip - my dad was going back to Sussex from wales and he couldn't believe the carnage on the roads and so on, he reckoned there were 30 or so cars stuck trying to get up a small hill near him, all sliding into each other and all will have insurance claims no doubt.

I did contact the seller to end early
He replied with ."sorry the tank is rotten with rust and leaking on the bottom seam "
Yer right I know someone beat me to it .
Never mind I just wanted it for the second bike :-(

when I asked him about a BIN price he then said he wasn't 100% sure it was for a firestorm so don't think he knew what he had...

Not done much with the bike in the past week due to workload issues.

Managed to get new tyres on the wheels though.
