The welds i was talking about, they didn't bother me too much until i was at a McDonalds and a guy on a 125 was having a look and went eeeeee those look nasty

Suzuki Welds

Bear in mind these look a lot better on the pictures than they do in real life....














Honda Welds (excuse the muck)





notice the weld is on the inside edge where it is barley seen, not down the middle of the brace arm like the suzuki

Looks like it was made by monkeys !
That may look good and ride very nice but it ain't no Honda .
Sell it and get the blade like you should have to begin with .

Or a sp2 :-)

Bar Riser Conversion day today. I shall let the photos tell the story; enjoy































Final touch my daughters old bicycle bell



Really pleased with the result & the riding position is wonderful even though the job took the whole day between showers

There a huge difference between the two. This Suzi welds remind me of rust bubbling under paint. Some of them are not even in a straight line.

Looks great :Thumbup:

looking good buddy, i might consider something like that in a few years time.....

Cleaned and degreased the chain then put fresh chain wax on

Also fitted renthal medium compound diamond pattern grips today original grips was very a hard rubber





Stuck a piece of that mesh i had left over down behind the grill to protect the oil cooler and bottom of the Rad, might get more of this so i can make a bespoke one to fit both, going to Oulton park there will be loads of stones thrown up i think and this has basically no fender coverage and just pings everything at the Rads

I wouldn't wait that long Marty its a really good mod to do :-)

DOH!

Don't worry a Carl will be along soon to sort it out for you !

Don't mix up the bits ! Keep front with front and rear with rear .

Oh no, you just couldn't wait. As a lesson to you you you can now find the bits and put them back together yourself I'm guessing you had a go at removing the slides, Don't loose the couple of little washers on the needles.

so finally got the fairing fitted. thanks seb. new chain sprocket. rear wheel painted. soon as can will get out and abuse it.

Re-fixed the clutch on the hornet after we messed it up completely yesterday.. Though it's not gonna get used until new forks/clip ons/clutch cable/screw washer thing for clutch cable/brake pads arrive in a few weeks. And convinced my Dad it's a good idea to do the CCT's... Only took 2 of my brothers' starting to rattle to convince him Now just need to arrange a deal with a member.

Well done.. If you do the stop mod it's not altering any of the original mechanics that Honda have done, but it does prevent any damage if there is a failure.
