    Realised I hadn't de bugged it from my last ride, so a quick once over with paint cleaner to remove the excess weight before wazz zing to the dealers to register my number for the draw. Should have done it before lathering up though, it's bloody hot here today. Just cracked a tin of the black stuff and will go make a proper job of it while drinking it.

    Had a nice ride over to pick up the Harris Brake and Clutch Levers from Raphael, Nice bloke, threw in a Haynes manual and some leftover pro bolts, he also makes good brews (bit of a camp dog though ;))

    I've fitted my replacement 2nd hand starter/cut out switch so the bike doesn't have any issues starting and the headlights work correctly again, I've also the Harris Levers I bought from Raphael.

    Previous owner broke off the tabs...

    I also checked and recorded the current suspension settings I inherited with the bike... Which turn out to be absolute rubbish, but I knew that already... Front would dive alot under braking, rear was very stiff and bouncy...
    Then I checked max settings for all adjustments so I know what the full range was...

    Then I put the Dave Moss settings that were very similar to the Sport Bike Magazine settings,

    I will put it all in a spreadsheet today and put it up for you to see, and I will also explain my initial feelings about the changes... which are good feelings, bike feels better...

    I noticed on Honda Suzuka 8 hour race bikes a sticker saying DREAM, as on the bike below;

    [​IMG]

    I contacted a sticker company who made me a couple of them up for me, the guy i dealt with also rides a HRC 09 blade :)

    Fitted cheapo chinese £20 "pazzo-style" levers as recommended by Phantom... largely coz I wanted to see if I got on with the shape/shortness before taking the full £140 pazzo plunge... but these are so good, I might just keep them.
    Lined up next to my mates genuine pazzos, its hard to tell the difference......... pleased :D

    Just got round to fitting my Lightech chain adjusters from MrB. Look nice but not overly impressed with the engineering or materials but they're on now. Gave the old girl a quick polish to, a lot of crap in Sunday's showers.
