I washed it, polished it and then gave it a big hug :wink: ...and then I thrashed the nuts off it for about 140 miles!!! :twisted:

Also, changed the oil & filter, loosened up all the floating eyelets on the front disk with motocross lube and checked over all the vital nuts and bolts. :thumbup:

Screw Tuesday! It was the storm last night that was terrible. Was on the back of Warrens' bike (the 26bhp cb500s) in it.. Ferk me!

I've got these on my bike and love them! Scrubbed in super quickly, heat up super quickly and let you ride super quickly! I've got no chicken strips on my rear, infact I've used a bit of the edge on the rear 8O but my fronts still have 15mm of unused rubber, I'm not sure why this occurs :confused I've heard someone say if you jack up the rear end it will cause the tyres to wear more evenly, but I wouldn't want to alter the standard geometry as I'm no Honda engineer or test rider! Have you noticed less use of the front compared to the rear?
hi yep you always will get less on the front, the tyres narrower so basically you wont use all of the tread up,( some technical buff will no doubt come up with some technical term) but if you were to draw a line through from both sides of the rear tyre through to the front, the front tyre will be inside those lines. you do if front and rear wheels are the same size like 70,s and 80,s bikes. , The tyres seem great and so cheap, £152 for a pair bloody bargain. done almost 4 000 miles in 3 weeks yahoo!!! :mrgreen: :biggrin
missing the noise, not the vibes. However never say never!

To be fair your probably right about the heat & the better view, don't get that many celebs down this way...But I cant see the LNG plant from my house, or the port cranes, just the power station chimney stack, so it's not too bad. :lol:
