Best wishes to Mrs Watty :thumbup:

Lastnight...

Well it was Valentine's Day so I treated my beloved to a night out shopping, first stop was Leevtr's house..

Cheers for the cuppa, excellent bike polish and beautiful carbon cans.

Top chap :thumbup:

Also picked up another fireblade swingarm on the way home, was a ebay bargain (as I was the only bidder!) :lol: poor chap spent his afternoon cleaning it up, removing the old chain, greasing the bearings etc... I couldn't bring myself to tell him I was going to hack the brace off and throw the rest away!!

Then when I got home there was another bargain in a box by the front door, carbon fibre R1 hugger.

Roses are red, violets are blue, I love my bike.

Looks good with those cans Jamie :thumbup: I'll get a pic of mine up when I figure out why they do line up. Got another set of headers and pipes to try, just need a break in the rain to fit them.

320mm still nothing on the mammonth 929/954 discs lol but bigger and better than the standard Suzuki ones

most people encounter warped discs on the K5 / K6 fairly early on, dont know if its sh1t original discs or excessive heat build up that causes it but glad its fixed now

it was so bad i was convinced i had a bent wheel lol coming off the motorway i squeezed the front praying there was no pump back and phew all was good and true




Jamie that storms looking good mate :thumbup: :thumbup:

any gas leak with those standard linkpipes in that position? i tried that once on some blueflame cans and link pipes but couldn't get a good seal would piss me off when i went passed park cars the noise it would make

Set the newly painted and "Rogerered" forks up as per the set up list i was sent, I've noticed a difference with the bike just bouncing the forks up and down, i can't wait to ride it!!!. The shock (WP) will be changed at the end of the month, then pls bring in some dry weather. Bugger aim looking forward to this summer :)
missing the noise, not the vibes. However never say never!
