What do you use for that?
leather Saddle Nourish. Its for the Horses gear but is easy to put on and buff off. It makes a huge difference. Most Moles stores or Saddleries sell it.

I have used Autoglym leather care too.

Bought it clear lenses for taillight (red bulbs too) and indicators (amber bulbs too) to fit with the mirror extenders, CNC levers and air filter when I get it back Saturday (although I'll hopefully be riding it all day) :thumbup:

Rebuilt front MC on spare TRX, which could be a waste of time/money as I'm looking at changing the calipers to some R6 ones soon and they require a different bore, else it's like squeezing a brick.
I'm so unlucky that if there is such a thing as re-incarnation I'll come back as me!

Removed PAIRS. If it's taken away all the popping I may well put it back on, but it will make adjusting the fuel screws easier for now.

Also cleaned the chain, gave the rear wheel a good scrub while it was out and regreased things. Lined up the chain guard properly so it should actually catch the chain crud now. Gonna pop in a new exhaust gasket too as I think it's slightly leaky at the front.

Got my TRX back!! Not altogether happy but that's another story. I put on the CNC levers I got from a crashed Thundercat and the mirror extenders:

And put clear lenses all round:

Collected it, rode it, stalled it, rode it some more, stalled it, rode it, put petrol in, rode it, rode it, rode it, stuck it in the garage for me to clean tomorrow.

So. Much. Fun. Just need to stick some decent bloody tyres on it at some point!
