Some hard graff gone in there..
I'm for 1 that would pay for that to be done, yes car folks do it, but that's all big pannels. Bikes are a pig to get that clean.
Price wise, I would pay £100 ish for a clean like that. I just do not have the patience.

Thanks mate , appreciate that.

I did charge £100 but with the materials taken away, it isnt much for a day at it.

That side, it would be a sideline so its worth it.

Today I got round to finally fitting the exhausts I got from Ian months ago..I had the link pipes vapour blasted and then polished the cans, looks and sounds much better, not offensively loud.

How much do the standard cans weigh?!!

its a fab bike Podders

Wow. They look really good! Well done.

And me, that is a seriously good make over

Looks as good as the rest of the bike now

Squeezed Steve's pipe.

Went to the garage to fit titanium sprocket nuts.
Undid the first one, it is already titanium, perhaps I should have checked.....
Anyone need a new reduced price set of six?

A normal Saturday for you then Mac

Today I have mainly been actualy doing something to one of my own bikes !

Gave Nue Red a quick run up the road to try out the YSS shock installed last week...

All good, I did sort the staic sag out on the day I put it in, so just wanted to give a hoon to see how it felt over the bumps n lumps of the standard British B road. It didn't throw me off which is nice. Went well over some of the bumpier bits. Held nice tight lines in the fast sweeps.

The shock came set to the std lenght of the storm shock & although it has a hight adjuster on it. The range is quite small only about 5mm either way. So I might still put a small shim in...

Came home, dropped the oil out, changed the fillter, new oil in. Gave the bikini fairing a spruce up, bit of a rub down & some fresh paint. I'll treat it to a coat of laquer tomorrow...

Made a start on doing the valve clearances,

Chris.

changed my entire bike by fitting a new front tyre.amazing how much one thing can change the feeling of a bike so much.

My KTM's been sitting in the lounge for 5 weeks while I change sprockets, fit a new cush drive, rear tyre, general titivate. I didn't touch the front end at all. Wheeled it out for a ride yesterday and the front brake is very spongy. Bled it, got some bubbles out and it's back to normal, as it was before I wheeled it into the lounge.

WHERE did these bubbles come from? Front brake hasn't been disturbed in any way. Most strange to me...

Problem is, now its sampled lounge life, its lost all its "ready to race" feeling and wants to sit down all day watching Bargain Hunt, Miss Marple and all the other daytime TV....fact, I left the LC in the conservatory last night and it ended up changing the channel to "Celebrity Love Island"....

Aaaah. That explains "The Jeremy Kyle Show"...
