Keep an eye out online for the bike coming up as insured. I'm sure the Post Office would accept that. It may take less than 24h http://www.askmid.com/

Stick it in your SIG mate no more forgetting for me now

Fitted new finned r/r tonight took it for a spin if the battery isnt flat in the morning jobs done,
if its flat means old r/r was ok and something else is draining the power but got a finned one on now so save me doing it later
fingers crossed
by the thanks to guys that offered to send me a r/r till i got one you guys on here are great

Ran off the edge of the rear tyre :-(
Must shift butt off seat !
And must ware knee sliders when getting knees down DOH !!!

Replaced nuts n bolts on custom clipon handlebars ... nice to be able to change the setting now n then

sent it for a full sevice looked at it and thought diy then thought better of it

took my bike for its first shakedown ride with carl, it needs some tinkering with the fuelling, low down isn't that good, but mid to high she's a flying machine..
popped into flowtech and asked them about making some high level linkpipes, but i don't think they'll be that cheap, i reckon £120ish, he wants me to take my ones to him so he can see how much works involved.
i then had to pop into a police station because of an altercation with a push bike courier, this wasn't on the bike, but in the cab, that'll teach him for banging on the side of the cab.....

Today I put this back together....

Did the CCT's yesterday but managed to snap one of the cam cover bolts when refitting. Between my mishap and suffering with a bad back at the mo I was fed up so left it and went home. Put her back together this afternoon.

Got my newly aquired later model handle bars fitted No pics taken yet though. They are a close fit against the fairings but I got them there in the end. Had a problem getting one of the throttle tube screws out, that took the longest part of time. Cant wait to try them on saturday/sunday.

let us all know how you get on with the battery dude......i've heard they can struggle thru winter?
went for a little ride over to carls this evening, only had 2 cars try and kill me, which ain't bad in central london, i need to sort out the low down fuelling as it wants to cut out when i pull away. but once on the move its fine, totally standard set up except for the race cans.
