I've not checked in for a while and the first thing I see is that people are checking out Goose lol
Benny - Will get to the dyno as soon as I get some new rubber, tax, MCCTs a decent service and we move house (got lots on my plate at the min lol) Would love to get the mix sorted as there is a definite cough when pinning the throttle.
Hellride - I got the lights/undertray off the bay. A company called pitek IIRC I wouldn't recommend them if you're going for show bike quality, but, as mine is/was a daily rider I kinda put up with the paper-thin thickness of the fibreglass. Each to their own though right? I was thinking about getting it painted white to match the colour of the bike, but I think with it being black it makes the back end look "thinner" if that makes sense?
lumpyv - I know what you mean about the rads people tend to always say, "Yeah it looks nice, but, them rads have gotta!" I can see where they're coming from but I'm going with the way of thinking that if you take them off or move them, then you're losing a part of the way the bike was meant to be. They're not ugly or offensive IMO so don't mind seeing them there at all. Plus it gives the bike some width (and with me sat on it, it needs it lol)
Bit of an update....
I haven't moved the bike since the end of Oct when I got a puncture in the front tyre. Basically after that I got a bit mardy and just locked her up, didnt even bother covering her over or putting the battery on a tender
she's been sat there in the back garden cold, wet and miserable since....I pumped the front tyre up yesterday to get ready to move her to the new house and low and behold the b8stard stayed up (checked this morning - same pressure as yesterday). I reckon some c-unit might have been in the back garden and let the tyre down, either that or its a very very very very slow puncture?!
I've also decided that the gearing (15-45) is a bit too fun....What I mean by that is going through a rear tyre in a month isn't very conducive to everyday riding lol so gonna go 15-41 for now until I can decide how many to go up at the back...possibly thinking 43? Suggestions - is it worth going up or shall I leave it with just the 15 on the front?
I was considering stripping it down and having the frame coated black but thought it's about time I had a season in the saddle...so this year will be maintenance and minor cosmetic tweaks only, I'm after a stubby carbon can if anybody has one lying around though
