Fitted the +4 deg ignition advance plate yesterday and ran it up on water.

Refilled with fresh coolant today.

Cleaned up and painted the fairing subframe I got from 71geoff. :thumbup:

Fitted a nice new numberplate, with the Euro flag, and happily, to get the flag in, the digits and letters are smaller.
It's still a legal sized plate, though, so shouldn't attract attention.
I've put the forum website addy as a strap line.
Looks a bit clean, though....nothing a bit of flung chain lube can't fix.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

A good morning :thumbup:

Fitted Eastern Beaver relay kit and new Philips X-treme bulb. Fitted the fairing subframe I cleaned up and painted last night and refitted the fairing.

My wing mirrors are level again now :lol:

Fitted the Two Brothers Cans. Wimped out and fitted the PowerTip silencers :oops:

Fitted a 2nd long stack, now got 2 long ones.

Went for a blast to check everything was ok. Quite a few mods in one go (hasn't been used since fitting the ignition advance plate) has made a noticeable difference.

Sound bloody lovely those cans and loud - and that's with the DB Killers in.

Didn't want to upset the neighbours so didn't rev it very high.

Light too, as soon as I pulled of I could feel the difference in weight at the back end. (Standard ones on before)

Video doesn't do them justice. When I went back inside my missus said the whole house was shaking :lol:
