Today I have mainly been changing the C&S on Nue Red.
Gave all the exposed areas that you dont normaly get to a good clean...Like the inside of the swingarm...
Gave the rear wheel a good clean & put some wheel wax stuff, I bought yonks ago, looks shiney & is suposed to make cleaning them easier...

dropped the big KTM while trying to do some back garden trials sections on it! was zero speed feet up but I ran out of lock [skill?] went to take a dab, but the top heavy monster was already too far over so I dismounted with a forward roll for 3 extra style marks.
it was onto soft mossy grass, so absolutely no damage as it sat on the crash bars and handlebar guards...... now lifting it up was a more much harder work than dropping it! ..... especially when the mirror catches in your shorts and yo have to put it down again!
will try jumps later

Fitted new wavy discs all round with new Brembo Road/ race pads in the front and new standard pads in the rear.
Went for a ride and am reasonably happy with the setup at this stage.
I had ZCOO pads in the front before and they were sublime however punished the standard discs.
As the Corona lockdown takes effect I decided not to get bits from Overseas and sourced everything here in OZ.
Hope everyone is safe and well.

Not strictly today but yesterday in the sun - finally fitted the Remus cans and link pipes to the old girl.
Pleasantly fruity sounding indeed!
I'll have to sort out some quick release passenger footrests and hangers - maybe....
At some point, I'll see about making new headers - just need time and all that...

Built this:

Took me all day, I was rustier than the rim!
I haven't built a spoked wheel in 20 years.
Started out a bit shabbier, though.

I'll do the rear one tomorrow.
Good to see you haven't lost it Tony
Good work,
Chris.

Do you have a colour code for Satan's Diarrhoea? Could be just the ticket if I want to stand out from the crowd
