Got a post from Lloydie yesterday so had to put my new goodies to use today.....

My new cans were looking a bit plain....


So had to tart them up a bit....


and then back on the bike....






That's all....Carry on

They look fantastic on yours

Yes they do look good on there IMHO.....

and the cat has given his approval......

That's looking great Mike. Love those pipes and I also like the way your bike is unmarked and has no decals.

(:-})

like the cat marking there Mike.............unfortunately my cat manages to piss on the wheels which I take to be a -ve comment...........the cat is still in orbit as I type this

Put my nicely repacked cans back on the bike. Sorry no pics as it's pissing down. They sound so much more aggressive, deeper and louder. They have lost that raspy sound they had from no packing and was starting to damage my hearing. Now all I need is some paddles and I can go for a ride.

I just imagined a wide eyed kitty drifting through space, meow!

Hawk your bike is looking mighty fine, I like the bodywork against the gold forks and white wheels

The only important thing now is pictures of your cat Hawk

Got the new bigger discs and spacers on yesterday before work



So so nice to have a front brake again that's not pumping away violently through the lever when you put it anchors on

discovered a new problem on the gixxer last night that wasn't there the other week, when pulling the front brake the rear brake light gives a small dim flash and then goes out,

with the back brake the light stays on and constant

FOOK YOU SUZUKI!!

Hopefully its just a switch issue

that is one very nice storm,simple and very efective

I was thinking about that, I need to sort some tyres out when I get back, I'll see if essential rubber can put some on for me....
