What did you do to your bike today?

Outside of high end competitive stuff where every gram counts or CF makes the most sense material wise for it's properties then Carbon Fibre is for looks alone.

Personally, if I am going to change something on my bike to look like CF, I'll use CF despite the cost. A wrap may come close but I'd rather not bother in that case.

The new Suzuki's use vinyl wrap on their machines,it looks alright aswell tbh

@ ic3 yh its on 63k now, had it from new

Had a right old time with the mistress this weekend....

The battery died on Thursday so I swapped it out, which must have move some of the wires in the loom. Next day was strangely fine until the evening where the alarm kept going off. Found it was ok in service mode so left it for a bit.

Come Sunday find I can't turn the alarm off at all. End up taking the whole back end off it and going through all the wires etc. Eventually found that two of the alarm wires had moved and then got pinched by the seat, which then blew a fuse stopping the key fob being read.

At least shes up and running again now and it didn't cost me a packet to get it looked at
 
theyve dropped of a gsx650f.

it looks nice gear indicator etc, but holy **** the seating position is weird, and the gear lever is too close cant fit my damn boot under it.

spoke to the guy about my holiday plans though and he goes "phone up the office and tell them and we can probably drop off a bandit 1250 with a full set of top box and panniers but itll be naked.

thing is most of the parts you see out of carbon just use basic cross weave ie not taking advantage of the carbon fibre at all it is like you say purely the look.
 
Put my seat cowl on and went for a lovely ride along the Norfolk Coast, stopping off at Wells for a drink by the Sea :D

Got it covered in bugs and just rinsed them off with RO water, the Swissvax Opaque stuff worked brilliantly.

Don't you mean Wells where's the sea? :p

Nice roads around there, nice coastal one from Wells to Cromer.

Hah true, but I did ride out to the Beach Cafe and then walked up so I could see the Sea :D

I live between Norwich and Cromer so ride/drive around the coastal roads quite a bit, just hand't stopped in Wells for a while. Some really nice roads and places to stop all around the East Anglia Coast as long as you avoid Great Yarmouth :p

Going to be a tough week deciding what to take out and where to go for some cool Sea breeze! :cool:
 
nice machine jp but idk how you tolerate that gravel drive on it

EDIT: taxed mine for another year,pretty sure they've added another £1,robbing gits

Blew my main fuse and USB charger while replacing the battery, lesson for the future don't get distracted by someone at the door so you wire it up back to front :o

Also just ordered a lower seat for my SV should make it a bit more comfortable for my little midget legs without messing with the suspension set up.
 
just took a load of pics of my bike with the only decent camera i have and forgot to set the stupid time stamp:mad::(

well ill get more money for the zx10r,its too thirsty for me or id keep it,maybe a zx6r 2013 further down the line idk

its not bad,few stone chips,i repainted the calipers not long ago they were flaking bad
 
Oooooh yeah thats the 10R, i always assume that shape is the 6R, for some reason in my head that era ZX is 6R side exhaust and 10R is underseat, but I always forget the 04/5 was side exhaust on the 10R.
