    hrc coloured bike so I went for green lol
    it will make sense when I get some other light mods finished,
    get the smd strips off ebay, about two pound per strip delivered
    and about a fiver for the remote to run them.I will then mount a
    master power switch under the seat so there will be no power drain
    while its parked over winter.

    Well not strictly today, but fitted a HM plus QS and while I was there I did the full flapper mod and also pair mod.
    Exhaust has been de-baffled and the exhaust flap removed.
    The bike sounds sweeeeet....with a lovely crackle and pop on over-run and down-shifts :)

    Now you need to find a narrow street with terraced housing on either side and do a few runs through there, not too fast as "you'll miss all that heavenly glory" (Bruce lee, Enter the Dragon)

    Had John from Alpha set up my suspension for me. I believe suspension is a dark art and is akin to witchcraft, also it shouldn't be attempted unless technically qualified as it could really bite your backside. Anyway before I got out if the car park I knew the bike was much more suited to me. The bike when cornering is now so stable it's unbelievable and I'm enjoying it even more....which I didn't think was possible ;) one happy blade owner :)

    Removed back wheel and exhaust and gave it a good deep clean. Found about 15mm of grease stuck under the chain guard and inside the sprocket cover, I'm not really into serious cleaning but nice to do when you dont know what history a bike's had.

    Next on the list is putting the TaylorMade exhaust back on after cleaning and painting it.

    Cleaned the chain and re-lubed with Wurth dry lube after much recommendations on here, then went out for a good run out in the afternoon sunshine.

    Took it out for a good ride out :) discovered that the seat is bloody uncomfortable after an hour or of riding, also getting a vibration through the bars, so going to get the wheel balancing checked.

    £80 will see you with some extra padding and a re-cover. Helped me no end on the Scotland tour.
