Cheers, they're quite functional.

The last time i looked it was 128MPH on the clock and i did an extra 1K~ RPM after that.. Got there in a blink of an eye. This bike still surprises me.
 
you have a gear indicator too? don't get that with a 98 zx6:(

I miss automatic chokes and no fuel taps on this bike,ive done 160mph on this bike on motorway,when I was younger n stupid

Gear and fuel indicator. Luxurious. None of this "cough-splutter, flip fuel tap to reserve and find a petrol station quick-smart" nonsense :p

Being able to do "trips" on the computer and view the time is added bonus. Gotta love modern bikes.
 
Just done my first bit of DIY on a bike, fitted a Turoro automatic oiler.
Was simple enough.

Give it a wash & took it for a ride out then did my chain then fitted a couple of shelves in my shed then tucked the bike back up again.
 
Dug them both out of the garage, tried out one of my xmas pressies (Sdoc100).

Lovely and sunny but my hands were numb by the time I finished and I didn't feel like undoing all that hard work riding on those minging winter roads :p


 
You'll have to let us know how you get on with that? I was going to get one for my trip to Germany last June, but was mocked by my mate..! I imagine it would be v handy on long motorway/autobahn/peage routes.

Will do, being a tall git even a big double bubble offers no wind protection for above the chest, and first go this morning under 60 it was brilliant, but needs some tweaking for speeds over that, but happy with it so far!

And yes he sure did Agnes, they were always handy on any tourer bike I had seen them on but didn't know they made one for sportsbike screens, granted they look rubbish but function over looks, my sportsbike is a commuter hack :p

Well, day off today, and I got a compressor last night, this one: http://www.screwfix.com/p/stanley-2...cm_sp=Homepage-_-Slide-_-Stanley24LCompressor

It's main function was to apply ACF 50 to the bike... Then it has multiple uses beyond that. Anyway, this morning, I tested and finely adjusted the gravity fed gun to the amount of ACF 50 and cone size I liked, set the pressure on the compressor and went to town on my bike. I used maybe quarter of a mugs worth on the bike. It was washed on Sunday to within an inch of it's life so no worries about applying ACF 50 on dirt or what have you.

Anyway, the plume of ACF 50 was sublime, nice even mist getting into all nooks and crannies. I went over the entire bike, the lot.

Then wiped down with a microfibre cloth. The body work and metals came up a treat!

Fence has a hole in it due to wind. I will fix it one day... Also, car port is a **** state I know lol. Also, ignore the chicken stripe, only done 100 miles in the tyres, barely had any dry weather :(

But, look how shiny!!!!
 
Agnes its fair to say your a fair weather rider. Is that because you don't trust the bike in bad conditions or you like to keep it shiny?
I only ask cause im still on the fence on whether to purchase one in the future.
