Weather is beautiful here today, after a few very cold days we got 16 C
so I dropped my job for the day and got the bike out for a couple hour run on back roads before the Friday commute hits.
Every time I ride it I feel 20 years younger

You never see a motorcycle parked in front of a psychiatrists for psycho therapy. All I need is cycle therapy

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Finished off the steering head bearings, working nicely now - also changed the seat lock and top yoke so I now have a single key (plus spare) for ignition, tank and seat - as Mr Honda intended, as opposed to the three different ones the bike came with!!
Tried slotting the frozen screw in the swingarm - no joy, just going to have to cut the head off and drill the sucker out.
Also tried taking off Air Cleaner - 3 decent screws, one chewed up horror I could not shift!

I'm so unlucky that if there is such a thing as re-incarnation I'll come back as me!
Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Well technically it wasn't just today but I have finished....or at least close as there are still some details to wrap up but here is how she looks today

So here is the list:
New DB wind screen
New fork seals
Rebuilt front calipers with new seals and pads
New front brake lines
CGR brake lever
New cup seal in clutch slave cylinder
Flo-commander
and time for a few more pics:

Finally got around to installing my rear sets
Of course the Akra full exhaust system
Here is the other side:

Which should be called the porn shot with Akrapovic, Gilles and Ohlins all in one pic.....
Things are a little "busy" under the bike now.......lol

Now if I could only ride the bloody thing..... and yes the weather is still nice here

Loud pipes don't save lives, knowing how to ride your bike will save your life.

Nice job Mike
What make is that double bubble screen
it looks like it should do a good job of getting the wind above your helmet.

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Bought a "dremel" and trimmed the fairing to how i want it to accommodate the new "cool n comfy" top yoke.
very happy now with the bike, fairing looks good and the bike is sooooo comfy now to ride ( i am 55)
did 300 miles and was fine, Best mod ive ever done on any bike,
