It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Pink would suit it better
Good choice on keeping the wheels Bronze.

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
After some problems with my front brake I brought an sp1 master cylinder for the front. Got that bled up but the brakes were not as good as I was expecting for having the blade front end. So over the course of this week I ordered a very small pot of red rubber grease and new brake pads (ebc hh) and last night I stripped the calipers to find that most of the pistons were seizing in the calipers and they were a pain to pull out. After a clean and new grease, around an hour bleeding the lever went solid and they felt ok, on the drive. Today I took her to work and nearly ended up butt over tit! Tried them out and what I got was not what I was expecting.... They were amazing. They stop on a 2p and feel great. I can feel a lot more through the lever now than I could before. Well worth spending the couple of hours stripping and cleaning.

had a visit from the cyberman today, we tinkered with the carbs, fitted the carb balancing pipes, I forgot the t-piece and had to pop to Halfords. I also gave it a nice polish and fitted my new decal...![]()
set the tps, adjusted the mixture, torqued up a few bits, yesterday I fitted a new yoke cover and tank pad.
i'm going to need to sort out the starter motor as its making a strange noise on start up, i'll probably swap the one from the other engine for now. I also need to get the front wheel balanced...![]()
looking good for a shake down ride this weekend...

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Rode the bike in the Dry!!! loved the suspension set up, it seems to be perfect at the moment.Roads were a bit busy, but how nice to have some dry roads at last.
missing the noise, not the vibes. However never say never!

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
After installing a dynojet kit and done some maintenance to my bike last few weeks,
I finally managed to take her for a spin on a dyno.
Mixture is a bit to rich but the bike feels and drives great with the dynojet kit installed.
A little movie of the run, i dont know wtf shes spitting out but she survived.
