    Calipers go at the back ;)

    Customer did bring me a KX80 once, took me a while to spot what was odd............then I saw the caliper was on the front of the wheel and not at the back :rolleyes:

    See you have something a little less dangerous to get around on while the bikes out of action

    Hope you wear knee pads and helmet with that scooter !! Saftey first. First aid last ;)

    What did you do to your bike today???

    Nothing, absolutely sweet FA... as my forks are STILL with JHS for repair... not having a pop at them as they did say 2 weeks minimum (its now nearly 3 weeks), but frustrating nonetheless... especially as all the convertible drivers at work have arrived with the roofs down :(

    Ordered some Pair plate blanks (as per Gilesy) so while bike is half stripped I decided to remove the Pair covers .......................... aaaaarrrrgggghhhhhhhh ....... 2 of the 4 6mm bolts sheared off because of excess glue being used, and I was careful. If I ever meet the Japanese tw@t that fitted them I'll have to do time :) So off with the cam cover and had to drill out, ended up taking them up to 8mm and I'll modify the covers when they arrive, not amused.
    The cam cover is a tricky bugger, off and back on, but managed in the end, so all afternoon and 2 poxy Pair covers removed is the sum total gained. :(
