Rear brake and clutch lines fitted & bled. 19 Litre tank fitted for the first time, along with re fitting of fairings, mirrors etc. Balanced carbs ( not that they really needed it ) and finally fired her up first time since DJ kit went in. Ready for a quick nut and bolt check tomorrow, and maybe a ride tomorrow morn or Thursday.

Bikes looking good lee

Lloydie, you have been very busy today

looks very well mate one thing tho that garage just screens bike theft at me hope you got some decent security on the door and bike

Da Fuq is with this weather sun was shining so i thought balls to it ill go get fuel and nip to halfords get a few things

Wind was nuts down this neck of the woods last night. I thought the roof was going to blow off at one stage.

I haven't been a fan of Haynes manuals for years, since they changed all the format around back in the IIRC late 80's early 90's. They do have little snippets that you might not get in another manual but I would not go and buy a new one because of it.

Have you not been here yet Seb carlsalter.com

Sounds to me like winter is starting to take it's toll on your bike a bit. Same as mine...another reason I wanted to wash the crud of it today. Had problems starting the other day, so cleaned up the stater and plug hole drain plug. Got to sort my rear brake out ASAP as well. Strip down, clean, new pads, bleed and see why my rear stop light is not working. I'm hoping it's not the Goodrige pressure switch.

What do I want for Christmas.....some nice sunny weather and the money to go out buy a load of parts and give the bike some TLC oops...almost wrote THC then. Maybe it could do with some of that as well. LOL

Ayy......tomorrows Christmas Day I felt like sh1t earlier, I have had a couple of shots of Medronho and a Brandy Mel, lit some frankincense and now chilling in my chair in front of the computer with Fantasia nice and loud in the background.

Wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas Seb.

I must have taken ages writing this as there are now loads more posts and I have had to put a quote in.

THC I'm having some of that later when the mother inlaw gets here :-) .
And I picked up a length of Jaffa cakes earlier :-yum .

Seb the gixxer forums have always been like that ! I think it has something todo with the type of rider it attacks yourself not included Seb .

Also caused a bit of a stink on the GSXR 1000 K5 / K6 group on facebook and i'm no now longer a member

You do crack me up PMSL

i like my bikes to be about bikes, if i want i fiddler ill look else where

You have a point though.

Lee...bikes looking well good mate. Lets hope the weather is good for you tomorrow.

Now I really want a garage when I see how much work Lloyd and Lee and Jamie for that matter have got done on their bikes.

THC I'm having some of that later when the mother inlaw gets here :-) .

Wow thanks Carl :-)

I just noticed....you have a Mori filler cap. I was wondering about the mori blanking caps they do for other bikes whether they would be a nice replacement for the plastic ones. I think some time next year I will have to try and speak Japanese and contact them and throw a few questions at them. Like what's the diameter on the outside of them and the clippy bits. You never know there may some that will fit. I also want a keyring, some stickers, oil filler cap and few other little bits.
