Ordered Brembo Superbike disc kit from Italy, best part of half a grand gone. Had to bite the bullet and get some as mine are warped so bad now, I'll clean the caliper pistons again when I fit the discs and braided lines

Try not to leave too long before laying on another coating as etch primer is hydroscopic. Make sure the area where they are and where you paint is warm and dry.

Cheers Wicky, I've done that, there in a dust free environment and having about 5 coats of Satin Black. They will go back on this week i hope and then the newly painted WP shock, then just sat till my ski holidays are over before the set up and road test to france for the weekend.

Skiing is more dangerous than formula 1 racing so be careful. :silent: You have a busy schedule there but the bike is looking great.

Rear brake light switch sorted and bled. I also made good use of the Caffata bleeder and re-bled the front now they have settled for a few days. Got a little bit more pressure on them. :thumbup:

I'm trying to inspire myself to go for a little ride but this is London. I'm going to hit traffic wherever I go :( and it's cold and damp. Not much fun really. :thumbdown: Maybe I will wait until I have a valid reason to go somewhere, I'm not really feeling it.

The difference is night & day Paul, you will feel the improvement as soon as you pull away!

I've just been having my first attempt at fibreglassing in the mancave, now I feel high and groggy :( looks ok so far though. I'll pick up a decent mask tomorrow night.

buy something by 3M there pretty good, that stuffs very harmful so you always need to wear a mask.I worked at "Fibretech" for some years and the old guys with no masks couldn't smell sh1t after years of sniffing that stuff. And imagine never being able to get a whiff of muff again!!! so sad lol :lol:
