    Doing the same here, just updating the Sat Nav maps and then uploading a route. Bike prepped and waiting for an early start.

    Rider's seat had been getting on my nerves lately as it's really slippy, particularly when wearing jeans or all weather riding gear. So decided to re-cover it with grey suede material to get a little extra grip and give it a fresh look too. Took me an hour an a half and there was a lot if stretching and manipulating involved but I'm pretty pleased with the result!:)

    Not quite haha.......Just ordered some faux suede Alacantara type material off eBay and got stapling! I've just soaked it to shrink fit it even more......I think it looks decent!:)

    Fair enough call, Mr Spy. It's like Kim Kardashian posting that she's just been fitted in a new cleavage-enhancing dress without posting a pic. Just not acceptable!:)

    Agreed. With the knowledgeable detailers we have here, surely we could give some pointers after seeing what @Motolet did!

    Bunked off work ("Working from home") ;)
    Did a bit of cleaning using my new ABBA stand motoglide! ...Mr Sheen don't half make the wheels shiny.

    What a flippin' faff it is to fit :( ...I got it for the winter storage for which it will be fine.

    Here's all the bits...

    ...purple "dog chewed" crocs essential, whilst getting stuck in o_O

    The abba stand on wheels, once assembled/fitted, is nice to use

    Informative post @hitch . I'll look out for them at the NEC. Agree with you that just fitting the basic stand is a chore - fit this, screw that, the first side falls out etc.

    Great tip also about the Crocs. I'll latch onto that one!:)

    Heh.

    At first I was struggling to understand why I couldn't get the little dolly wheels to fit on the long front arm....I'd put the casters on upside down :oops:
