Well first I pulled the cover of after two months..... poor girl is rather dirty....



Then laid out a few bits..... and yes, if you were wondering, you can retro fit a ride height adjuster to your Ohlins shock



Shock installed.....



Hang the exhaust system....

Nice clean header....



Finish up and no I didn't swap the rear sets yet as I needed a ride.....



Set the sag and give her a bath and were ready to roll....

Well actually just got back as it's only 1900 here.

So after a Freeway or A road run to a friends and back, check the bike over and headed out to the "Test Track"...... http://www.pashnit.com/roads/cal/LittleTujungaRd.htm

I did make a little change during this and lowered my ride height to 8mm, so now my trail numbers are real close to 100mm

Which in geek is saying the bike is real stable and neutral, both on the brakes and throttle, when leaned over.

Even on a "shake down" run I was carrying 10-15 MPH more than "normal" without really trying.

So for me, the bike is working very well

that didn't take long :-)
Now you have some catching up to do

Now that is what I call a test track, beautiful roads. You have just depressed me now I don't have anything as beautiful here with Sunshine and very little traffic. For crying out loud, we struggle for sunshine. It's all doom and gloom here in London again.

Could be worse Sat in my office and it's 20 degrees outside according to my phone. Sunlight streaming through the window and heating my desk up.. I'd rather ride in crap weather than be tortured by good weather that will vanish 5 minutes before I leave

That's what I like most about my job I'm out In all weathers :-)

I can go out in all weathers but if the MacBook gets stolen/damaged I'm incredibly wombled

Not what I have done but what I'm planning for next couple of weeks, best I post up here so I will actually do it!

1. Oil & filter change (bought 3 pack Honda oil filters from David Silver). Oil is semi syn Halfords 10/40-toiled about car vs bike oil and figure I change it often enough to warrant car oil.

2. Bought another bloody choke cable-I've over tightened choke knob again & snapped it!

3. Remove carbs & fit cable & change from #50s to #48s pilots and up to 182/185 mains.

4. Ride, a lot!!!

That is all!

Hopefully ill do this not this weekend but next.

Griff.

Did a bit more tinking* today, fitted rear hugger back on M. Le Drooper, put the bar weights, grips, throttle & bar end weights back on, few other bits n bobs & a few bits done on Ole Red.

Cleaned up & re greased Garage door runners was getting a bit sticky...






















* Tinking = Tinkering one handed...

Removed akrapovic stickers and strap marks from the cans :-)
Ordered a oil filter as its due a service now 2k since the last one

got my bike back from the menders today after the cct failure so glad to have her back! big thanks to rider on a storm for the manual ccts

Done nothing shame on me
