You might also want to remove your flaps whilst fitting your filter....did mine a while ago and removed the lot including flaps, wiring and solenoids airtube flaps/springs and all plumbing... bloody Euro compliant my arse!!
It's the 'EveryDay' cafe in Stanhope.... Nice ride up and a good staging post to more of the stunning roads around the Durham Dales..... Oops, we need to keep those roads a secret from the southerners on here
Well I did 170miles today on the bike with a trip down to Milford on sea with @Andy954 to brush away the winter cobwebs
Metzeler M7RR's and Puig Race Screen on to give the old bones some respite from the wind blast. Not a great pic and yes I know it needs a clean.
Went on a ride with the wife and the eldest. As they were both in 125s it wasn't very spirited, but it was enjoyable none the less. Plenty of idiots out today on both 2 and 4 wheels, but the winner of idiot of the day award goes to the bloke on a gixxer with a pillion doing an overtake on a blind bend, and on the wrong side of the road across 2 solid white lines.
Had a cordona qs fitted last week wasn't that happy but have gone back to the guy who fitted it and we have played with settings now it's spot on feels awesome.
Time for brake pads. So much easier with the bike higher than normal whilst loaded up for tomorrows track day
I fitted a Gilles Gear Shift Shaft Support Holder a week or so ago and only got to try it out this weekend when I went to MOT the bike. Really impressed. Gear changes are way smoother, especially at higher rpm. There was a fair bit of lateral movement on my selector shaft, more than I expected and this has reduced that down to near zero. Well worth the money.
