Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Today I have mainly been turning this...
Into this...
Remarkably for a bike with 120k on it, used all year round, the top engine bolt came out with just a bit of hammer action & some plus gas... No grinders were use in the deconstruction...A large braker bar & the mains uggadugga gun did see some action...
Just a few bits to do to finish it off, remove the clutch case, the front head & the reduction gear.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Nue red got put away for winter, drained the tank, drained the carbs, fresh oil n fitter, cleaned, adjusted & splurged the chain with chain lube, coverd the exhaust spouts, slipped a cover over it. Roll on April...

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
CBR600F4i calipers rebuilt. New seals, pistons etc ready for fitting. The CBR m/c is already on the bike waiting. On some of the shots you can see where the machining was done to aid clearance at the fork leg mounting points.
