Went out on the bike to test my new ohlins and it's so smooth, popped into see martin then rode home, have put baffle and full size plate back on for the MOT in the morning
Just brought a Carrozzeria GP rear brake kit from USA for my 06 Blade should go well with the new Galespeed Wheels .
Busy day for me ! Fitted Sato Racing hooks, R&G front axle bobbins, new rear bobbins, chain adjuster plates with bobbins, engine case sliders, bar end sliders, Optimate charger cable, fresh foot pegs on my Gilles rearsets and an Evotech tail tidy !!! Tired now !!
I keep hearing about Quickshifters and Slipper Clutches so I've taken the plunge and ordered them! I must be crackers. Don't tell the Mrs...!
Took the bike for an MOT and passed no problem, did put the baffle in on the racefit, the tester said it sounded great so I took the baffle out and then let him listen to it, he loved it
Received my rear brake bracket. Decided to try it out. At a third of the price of a Brembo setup it's worth trying. Orange R&G cotton reels for a change also.
Attached Kriega tank converter to accommodate Kriega US-10 which seems to be just about the right size. Simple to fit, great quality and good value. (Direct from Kriega, very quick delivery, though I've just seen Sportsbikeshop are now stocking). Would definitely recommend if you are mulling over the tank bag dilemma, though I do accept the limitations of the dry pack as a tank bag.
I would recommend sone anti slip stuff around the straps dude, where it connects from headstock to the convertor...the straps can rub on the paintwork. Anti Non Slip Multi Purpose Grip Dash Mat Drawer Carpet Rug Gripper_30 X 150cm | eBay
Not so much what i've done to my bike, but what i bought myself for riding it:- An Alpinestars track vest, to go with my SupertechR boots and GP Pro gloves. As sported by my little'un
SupertechR boots are the business..... had mine for years and despite accident damage..... sliding on the tarmac without having an accident damage ;-).... walking many a mile............ they are still comfortable and offer great protection. Not the most waterproof but despite rain, hail and snow! I've absolutely no complaints......... when they finally fall apart I'll get another pair
Refitted the mirrors to my rr7 after re painting the stems black. Went out with the boys and got caught in the rain.Had to give the bike a good wash when i got back home.Sparkling now. MRA screen fitted over winter works a lot better than the powerbronze one i had fitted last year.
After damaging the wheel rushing to try and do the bearings on the 929 for Snet I just left the bike sitting in the garage unloved. Motorliner got the bearing shell out and advised the wheel's fine, just superficial- that was around two months ago now! Got plans to try and fit my original forks, calipers and wheels from the RRA but after watching the Scotland vid thought I'd just get the bike back on the road for now. New bearings in, inner wheel spacer I'd damaged sorted (don't ask) just charging the batt ready for a ride out later today and commuting again.
