Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Something I've been meaning to do for awhile. Not so much what have I done to my bike, but still bike related.
Bike security chain sleeving was well past it's sell by date, so I have replaced it with a new sleeve

The old sleeve came off fair easy with a sharp pair of scissors

However getting the new sleeve on was a bit more challenging, but worth the effort

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Yeah. Solid motor so I'm pleased. If I can get 115 I'll be well pleased. Especially with an big dollop of midrange.fabiostar wrote: ↑Fri Nov 17, 2017 8:55 pmyou must be pleased with thatfreeridenick wrote: ↑Fri Nov 17, 2017 7:07 pmSolid 107 but it's running lean all the way through.

Rode the SV1000S back from Luton, tucked it up in the garage. New shock and front indys, maybe a new battery over winter and thats about it.
I'm so unlucky that if there is such a thing as re-incarnation I'll come back as me!

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Good job mate. 115 would be a fantastic increase. I would be happy if mine was putting that out...but its not...yet. That will have to be further down the linefreeridenick wrote: ↑Fri Nov 17, 2017 9:43 pmYeah. Solid motor so I'm pleased. If I can get 115 I'll be well pleased.

SH#T HAPPENS!!!!!!!!
Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Fitted complete cbr929 front end the other week as well as danmoto rearsets again and leovince cans. I don't understand the clearance issues people have had with the cbr929 clip ons. Worked perfectly fine.

In the process of stripping the bike down and fitting track fairing. Trying to make the bike as minimal as possible, whilst being road legal. I need some ideas what colour to spray the bike. The Moriwaki reps are getting a bit common now![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
Will have my road fairing up for sale soon if anybody is interested.
Just bought this old girl to get around on whilst I rebuild the storm over winter

Can't get over how much more comfortable it is!

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
I have a 1200 bandit as well as the storm but don't like the lack of a fairing.Comfort though is really good,except for the wind blast.
SO WHEN DOES THIS OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER KICK IN
