what have you done to your "bike" today
Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
I don't bother with the clip and have taken it off completely. Don't see the point in it really as the force of the airbox held down holds the pipe tightly in place. Got no leaks or problems with it. I think Honda just put it there to make life awkward.
Very ingenious idea with the shoelace that Seb

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
I must have little girly hands then
I don't have a problem with sed clip, although I do scratch a couple of mills worth of skin off tho.
It takes me longer to screw the 6 gold screws in that holds the air box down!
It'll grow back :-)

I do have a gimp suit on the way :-)
Could do with some lube to make delivery of the mk1 easier :-)

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Today I put on my new ZX master cylinder (Cheers jonacol). Took the forks off and put in new bushes, new seals + 15W oil.
New wheel bearings and had the wheel balanced.
I've got some taper bearings on the way for the head but hopefully I won't have to use it.
I had to remove a bit of material around the caliper mount for my new calipers so I painted the forks whilst they were apart and they look lovely even if I do say so myself.
So just waiting for the paint to cure a bit then I can put the new calipers on. .

20min drying time between coats. Going to leave it a good few hours to "cure" now though . It's suppsoed to be chip resistant. I use it on my land rover alot and is excellent

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Lloydie you just need a mask to go with it and you will have the full kit.
Xenocide you have done a good job there. Looking good. You just need a bit of Red now for the faring lower. Those old lightwights are great fun. Is it the 2 1/4 petrol with tanks under the front seats.
