    Done a few bits and bobs today, Painted the exhaust guard, new hugger, new carbon exhaust guard, new rearsets. still got loads to fit :)

    Please ignore the swinging arm bobbing, I fit the alloy ones for use with my paddock stand and have my nice ones for all other times, lol

    It is disgraceful, for a space that size there's far too few bikes in there. I suppose at Norwegian prices a 1985 CX500 is probably a million quid. ;)

    Carbon exhaust guard looks great! And it's good to see no rear brake reservoir hanging in the air above the rear wheel. What was Honda thinking with that?:confused::confused:

    Going by the fairing, yours is an 06/07? Think I'll steal your red rim tape look for my 04 black wheels - cheers for the pic!!:cool::cool:

    Is it ok to trim the reservoir tubes down on these hrc kits? Ive got one ready to go on mine but will need to shorten ideally.

    yeah, you just need to keep an eye on the level as your pads wear also you might need to cable tie or put a lock wire twist on the top cap as it might leak a little.

    Hey Tezza. Your headlight treatment is ACE! I'm sure many of us (especially day riders only) could handle doing that.

    I thought I'd seen on another thread that the high beam side uses a different reflector for the beam with the same bulb? I assume that's why you've dipped the beam? I'm getting my tools out! (After WSB;))

    The HID's are that bright you don't really need the main beam anyway.

    Finished work... got home and popped out on the bike for the first time this year. Seems like forever since I was last on it... Big smiles rest of this evening :)
    ps Leathers appear to have shrunk around waste!
