That's looking great Mike. Love those pipes and I also like the way your bike is unmarked and has no decals. :thumbup:

Put my nicely repacked cans back on the bike. Sorry no pics as it's pissing down. They sound so much more aggressive, deeper and louder. They have lost that raspy sound they had from no packing and was starting to damage my hearing. Now all I need is some paddles and I can go for a ride.

Got the new bigger discs and spacers on yesterday before work

Image

So so nice to have a front brake again that's not pumping away violently through the lever when you put it anchors on

discovered a new problem on the gixxer last night that wasn't there the other week, when pulling the front brake the rear brake light gives a small dim flash and then goes out,

with the back brake the light stays on and constant

FOOK YOU SUZUKI!!

Hopefully its just a switch issue

I was thinking about that, I need to sort some tyres out when I get back, I'll see if essential rubber can put some on for me.... :thumbup:
