Yesterday, carbon wrapped the nose cone to hide the scratches and added a number board left over from my Castrol Honda sticker kit. Today, did a 100 mile round trip with no tank cover to pick up a black one to match the track fairings and added black stomp grips. Also managed to fit the tail section after a lot of huffing & puffing. Just pretend that the front hugger is black as that's next on the list.
looks good, i told you til would fit, but it makes us stress out thinking its going to break to make it fit you still on Snetterton?
Yep you were dead right. It bloody hurt when it finally went on and trapped my fingers in the process though Gonna phone up and book Snett tomorrow as I used my iPhone App to noise test the Blade, it came back at 98db and has been pretty accurate with the Triumph. I'll probably drive there with the Blade on tow and PM you my number so I know which garage you're in. Is it just a case of pitching up in a garage or do you book?
Put the old map back into the PC3 as the one I had changed to was smoother but the exhaust was getting sooty. Also took mirrors off and fitted dark headlight protectors ready for the track tomorrow, the track is only about 15 miles away so just have to be careful. Also dropped the tyre pressures down to f32/r34 cold.
Hope the weather holds up for you. It's been a scorcher so far. Don't suppose you have a spare front hugger?
Not yet. Am swapping the fairings over the winter so may have one then. Doubt I will go fast enough to need to do that. Doubt I would be more than half way in novices Lol. Usually keep an eye on the tyres during the day so hopefully will catch any early signs of trouble.
V Nice rear brake , have not been out for a blast yet but the rear brake lever feels like I'm going to have a bloody powerful rear brake ! Fitting was easy much much easier than the FP Racing brake I had before or a standard Honda rear brake .
I also forgot to do this when I fitted k-tech shock what is the hole centres on a standard shock without been adjusted? Putting mine into Hammer&tongs Warrington for set up and custom map in 2 week time.
Not today but i serviced the bike, fitted Jaws motorcycle bar ends to get rid of the handlebar vibes and a Vista Cruise Control
Double bubble screen Fitted a double bubble MRA screen from HPS. Excellent service and product. Decided after reading feedback on here. Well pleased with it and that extra bit of lift makes less wind turbulence at speed without looking too different from the original in IMAO. Before and after profile shots for anyone interested in seeing how it looks. Went for the smoked finish.
Just had 16k service , plugs, air filter, oil, coolant, brake fluid and Hel brake lines fitted, valve clearances checked and all fine will check again at 20k, very happy with the bike running sweet and amazing service/ customer service and price from Pete at biketech in Padstow. anyone in Cornwall i would definitely recommend. next visit will be custom map / dyno.
