*** Show us your bikes! ***

Mate had a bit of a woopsee the other week. 2 mates werre out one has a 10 plate repsol blade the other has a 1098, swapped bikes. Guy that was on the blade went up the jacksie of his own bike at 100. Smashed his shoulder :O

I do like that famas! great job indeed. The only thing i'm not 100% sold on is the tank for some reason.
 
cheers guys, I appreciate it :)

Yeah thinking the tank needs slighty bigger white decals to break it up a bit more?

Straight swap for the VFR :P

Just need to rip out the alarm as it is causing issues and I dont have electric in my garage to keep the battery on an optimiser

Had it out yesterday. GOt off and wanted to dance it was unreal. Nothing like the VFR. Going to see if I can get the baffle out it and get a mate to trim the can down slightly.

103" (1688cc) kit, performance filter, Vance & Hines exhaust (loud), Brawler seat, FXDF shocks, cissy bar and rear pegs removed + some other stuff. Overall I'm very happy with the look :cool:

I just love v twins. Hope to restore a knucklehead one day :)

Not before I do up a twin with jockey shift ;)

Its like going from a modern porker 911 to a Vaux shovit!
It goes, it stops, its flickable in the city and the top box \o/ how much can I fit in there?!
But man alive its so slow...feels well under the 50bhp its quoted as having but it does weigh 200+kg with fluids...
Im finding that I can trigger a steering oscilation at slow speeds e.g. 10 to 30mph, any ideas if thats normal for these type of machines and if not where to check? Wheel balance? Alignment? Headstock bearings? Badger in the road?

My baby, stripping her and giving her a good old clean, need to take the exhausts system off and swing arm at the weekend. Need's new chain and sprockets, the rest is just cleaning and re applying grease and stuff.

Fairly going to town there Ags

After working on mines recently I don't need to go as deep for a clean before winter storage. It hasn't been out in the last year. Well has once with me but in the dry so is immaculate. Over the winter i will be getting mines a nice little MTC stubby can :P
