What did you do to your bike today???

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?

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!!

 

Yeah, that rear brake reservoir looks real trick; looks good

 

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.

 

How does he manage lol

 

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.

 

yeah she is an 06, just fitted my gear support, gonna fit the Bazzaz system, new BMC filters and plugs today .

 

Yes you can trim them mate as have seen them a lot shorter than that.

 

About to get on my hands and knees with a hair dryer on my driveway so I can wheel my new bike outside.

. . . and then I'll stare at it some more.

 

No going back,


The joys of wide mouth intake, 2000 miles on the filters.

 

Hahah, cheers mate. Going to get some more bikes in that space soon enough

Life is hard, eyh?

 

Rode it for the first time in 2018!

 

Looks like you'll be washing it for the first time in 2018 too!!!

 

Busy day today, changed spark plugs, thats a job and a half.

Just thought i would share a piccy of the size of the intake.



Fitted new filters



Talked about wanting 2 headlights on low deam, fitted new HID bulb and lowered the beam, dosnt look to bad.



Big day tomorrow, PC3 off, Bazzaz with tc controller and light fitted ( if the wife lets me)

 

Done that several times already mate haha, even before i rode it

 

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!
