Much? Forecast says it starts here at 11.00pm and will continue all night

Likewise. 15 miles in the past couple of days (for 6 pints!). Enjoy the heated grips and you'll notice the difference with the hippo hands fitted - though take it easy at irst as you'll need to readjust your dabblers with 'em on.

Hey All

Replaced standard cans with used Micron alloy jobbies from the Bay, kin fiddly job but way better noise.
Replaced rusted screws that hold the sidelight thingy lens with stainless ones.
Replaced double bubble screen with a tinted flip up screen.

To do:
Replace rear tyre.
Fit Renthal type bars and all the bits, such as longer brake hoses,risers, trim fairing, that go with this.
Fit heated grips and possibly handlebar muffs .
Extend mirrors.
Freeze my baldrocks off at the Dragon rally...........

Cheers
Matt

This came today :-) +4 .
So I ran kermit up to temp then dropped the oil .
Next up is dropping coolant and take the fairing off . That will do for today !

Nice picture. Interesting how the spline looks like it has a tooth missing. That must be a bit like a woodruff key so it can only go on one way. I would like to see a picture of the standard and +4 advancers side by side and one on top of the other to show the comparisons.

Thanks Carl I should be doing it tomorrow :thumb up:

If the outer sprogs are the same I'm wondering if the notched out bit on the inner spline which is there so it can only go on one way. If that was notched out more, would it be a case of just turning a standard one either clockwise or anticlockwise a few teeth on the spline
