And it's what I did to my rear but the front will need the other boot put on to stop mud and crap going down the plug hole .

Mud? Crap? God you don't think I *ride* in this weather do you? Jeez...

If you get caught in the rain and the drain hole is blocked it will soon fill up with crap .
And then the next time you change the plugs all that crap might fall into the pot !!

Judging by the amount of oil coming into the airbox from the front cyl breather i don't think a bit more bore wear will be that bad

Painted my wheels...2 pack, gloss black. Tyres back on tomorrow, hopefully ride the bugger Sunday.
Got more mesh to do the rest of the bike. Another job for tomorrow

Fitted my scorpion exhausts on the red firestorm, removed complete exhaustsystem from my blue firestorm in order to have a brief exhaust valves inspection and cleaned some parts of the blue bike. Now waiting for another VTR engine to use on the blue bike.

fitted back wheel, after refurb.Tightened a few bits , cleaned a bit, fitted new hugger. pics to follow

looks the dogs that lanny

i was bored so decided to to rip mine apart as ive been meaning to crack on with it for a while.
they do look ace like this imo... very mean!

not an easy job taking engine out one handed lol

swing arm & front end off tomorrow. dont want to do too much as ive got a month off lol

all the brakes are off atm & clip-ons, wiring loom off, carbs, coolant & oil dropped ready for engine out.
got to decide whether to repair the cracked hugger or buy another, then respray the race fairings and seat while the frame, swing arm, subframe, wheels etc are away

Re fitted newly painted wheels. Finished belly pan mesh, and did rads also. Almost invisible in pics but hey ho.

Hopefully ride the bugger tomorrow !!

Looking good there Lee, well done mate.

I went for a ride this morning, couldnt sleep, totally hacked off and agitated, think I annoyed the neighbours when I stormed out the close at 3.15am.
got onto the M20 and floored it
my sat nav said I hit 164mph is that possible with the storm?
