What did you do to your bike today?

[IC3]

It's been so far off the mark round here recently that it's getting silly now, I no longer look forward to a nice dry ride to/from work because I know the weatherman has probably lied to me

If the weather forecast was presented by weather presenter like this, I wouldn't miss a single one.

I wouldn't be mad on her even if the forecast was incorrect.

 

[Yaayuh!]

Didn't you check Met Office?

Yep. It lied.

Got a new clamp today to try and refit this exhaust and got some exhaust paste too.

When I spoke to the fella at the bike parts shop he said it's normal for it to blow slightly, after a run it would seal it self up. I should have left it to be honest but live and learn.

Had a good run on it yesterday and it seems spot on, I love it

Someone looking tomorrow at the sv so hopefully sold tomorrow

Gave it a pat on the seat as I walked past it in the Garage... set the alarm off ffs

Just like a woman then. They tend to make a racket if you spank them on the backside too.

Depends how hard you spank them

Just don't pat them on the head apparently it's condescending

I feel yu man. I got on the bike this morning - a couple spots of rain.

Then out of nowhere, it was severely moistened. I was (Still am in a shirt/trousers) the rain went through my jacket, it looked like someone threw a bucket of water on me.

lol, now that is weird.


For me the weather forecast is pretty accurate most of the time.

Well everyone always hides looms i think rightly done on a cafe racer/street fighter build they could be a feature peice.

Plus aircraft style connectors are sooo much nicer to work with than the plastic ones

 

[MowyTone]

It's not a new loom?

God knows how much one of those would have cost. However it woundn't be hard to find a loom in better condition than mine....and for £36 from the bay I'm happy

 

[TallPaul_S]

Fitted the kriega straps under the pillion seat, and tested the US30 on the back


Loads of room, like it was made for it! Thanks to a large pillion seat it doesn't touch the bodywork either.


And adjusted the forks in the clamps, 3 rings showing as per the 'road' settings in the handbook


It was set at 1 ring showing before, this should sharpen up the steering a little.

Ong so much ltetty machining

 

[Kreeeee]

Ong so much ltetty machining

What's that in English?

 

[TallPaul_S]

I think he likes the machined top clamps

 

[MowyTone]

Replaced the loom. I was dreading it as I was expecting something to come up and mess my efforts up (as this normally happens!)

Didnt take long to get everything off as I'm well practiced at it now.

This was just as I was about to attack the middle bit. The hardest part was getting the connectors between the engine and the frame

Indicators now work no matter the revs! and the speedo works again. Expected it to take longer than 4 hours. The neutral light was working.....but I can live without that for now

Pretty

I may or may not want to lick them

 

[Captain]

I may or may not want to lick them

I'm sure you've licked uglier things!

 

[Tefal]

I'm sure you've licked uglier things!

one thing though i'd grease those exposed threads on the top yolk/forkclamps.

looks cool having it machines so you can see them but they are gonna clog up with so much ****.
