what have you done to your "bike" today

[AMCQ46]

. I swear there is more intake noise with the Dr Honda's compared to two standard long stacks.

oh yes you are correct. it is an addictive noise that sounds like it could suck the hedges in from the road side............ especially winding on the throttle mid range

[VTRDark]

is your exhaust 100% as good as it's going to get?

Well it aint going to fall off if that's what you mean

Today I removed the front end to find out why if felt crap .
Rebuilt it and test road it feels better

How far did you strip it back? I've ordered some upper/lower fork bushes and stuff to service my forks after our chat on wobbly legs

Dropped the forks .
Reduced the preload .
Set head bearing and it did feel a lot better not great as it still needs tweeking .
Tomorrow I'm doing the rear ! Don't know why it felt so crap after the rebuild .

Good man make sure you give them a good clean oh and I always soak the bushes in oil over night !
Don't know why I've always done it ?

Sweet, thanks I've never taken forks apart before but the guide is clear enough even for a doofus like me

Today I made a start on reaching the end goal for my bike. Hopefully get the ball rolling properly on Saturday/Sunday. Can't say much more as I'm not 100% sure how it will all work out in the end but I shall update when I have more to update on. Feeling excited

Yep I some how had some stiction in the forks so they weren't working as they should .
And loose head bearings didn't help !
Just need to set the damper rebound now as it still feels like it's to hard and not riding through the bumps more like it's riding over them

Right… Found why the the bulb wouldn't work with the ceramic H4 bulb holder I'd added onto my Eastern Beaver relay kit - Spot the deliberate mistake discovered by my mate Steve who knows how to wield the continuity function on a multimeter...

Sunny but frustrating day fitting Eastern beaver relay kit - sodden thing didn't work. Should be a plug&play item but bulb wouldn't light up despite relays clicking. Used multimeter to find diddly-squat output from bulb connector Little option but to unravel it and revert back to standard. While things were apart tried to fit 8mm quick release fuel connectors - no way with the slop in the 10mm ID hose would they have sealed securely

So only positive is some hidden parts are a little cleaner and nuts & bolts recopper-greasesed for when I can be arsed to go back in again...
