Daytona Rik South Yorks, 20 Apr 2011 13:16 Belted through sun-dappled country lanes on the way to work, wiped off crud from rear wheel & swing arm (recent chain lube!) - baby wipes are wonderful things! General wipe down on arival, polished can, heelplates and bodywork with X-Lite "Bike Spray" cycle cleaner...if that's good enough for my titanium road cycle it's good enough for Big Blue!
Nick S Coffs Harbour, 20 Apr 2011 21:42 Took it for it's e-safety check, passed. noted that it runs hotter with the warren smooth tune in, than it did with MM3.
Animal Mother Guarding the border, 20 Apr 2011 22:10 Checked its head bearings ready for tomorrows MOT.
Mark Cheshire, 21 Apr 2011 16:50 paid it a visit as it sat on the operating table having it's valve clearances measured. Also dropped off the 6mm silicon hose as the IACV hoses can be replaced while the bikes in bits
Animal Mother Guarding the border, 21 Apr 2011 16:55 Sounding good Mark.
Mark Cheshire, 21 Apr 2011 17:05 great stuff
Sir TT Church of 3 Saints, 21 Apr 2011 17:06 Had new tyres fitted
Blizzard Coventry, 21 Apr 2011 19:48 Assembled the tail tidy - pity I've not got a bike to fit it to
Android Dereham, Norfolk, 21 Apr 2011 19:53 Loser!

Buggeredifiknow Awaywiththefairies, 21 Apr 2011 23:58 Fitted stainless Allen head bolts to the engine cases
PaleBlue Rugby, 22 Apr 2011 14:05 New rear light arrived yesterday so fitted that today Media File Media File
Phill Pig Hill, 22 Apr 2011 14:06 Gary, that rag could do with a wash
PaleBlue Rugby, 22 Apr 2011 14:09 Phill: Gary, that rag could do with a wash
Animal Mother Guarding the border, 22 Apr 2011 14:10 I want one of them. Media File
Phill Pig Hill, 22 Apr 2011 14:11 Daz, what mirrors you got on yours? Didn't know.you could fold mirrors in like.that on a tona, or is it cos it's a later model?
PaleBlue Rugby, 22 Apr 2011 14:12 I'm impressed to be honest. Reasonable price and delivery is quoted at 10 working days (Comes from Germany) but I ordered it last Friday and arrived Wednesday (no one in to take it so trip to the local sorting office). http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Clear-LED-Tail-lig...

Carlos77 Teesside, 22 Apr 2011 20:32 Stripped all the fairings off her today, and cleaned the frame, and inside the plastics, quite theroputic really! Also ditched the pillion footrests.
PaleBlue Rugby, 22 Apr 2011 20:50 Animal Mother: I want one of them.
What is the quality like?
Would look great on a silver bike.
Media File or would a blackened one look better?
Chococat Hurt,sad,angry,again, 22 Apr 2011 21:55 Blizzard:
Blizzard Coventry, 22 Apr 2011 22:04 the D3 lowboy one. I'll post a pic of it if you want
Chococat Hurt,sad,angry,again, 22 Apr 2011 22:17 Yeah if you could, that's the one I had in mind if I didn't go for the carbon undertray, but the pics on his site aren't great. You like it? Quality good?
Andy Holmes Leics., 22 Apr 2011 22:25 Tail tidy fitted, small plate too, loud std cans.
Blizzard Coventry, 22 Apr 2011 22:38 Quality is good. Includes a LED number plate light and replaces the current assembly and the plastic bit underneath the light surround part Media File Media File
Chococat Hurt,sad,angry,again, 22 Apr 2011 23:12 Cheers, you're keeping OE indicators then? The undertray kind of piece looks like it really neatens up the underside when it's on the bike in the website pics. I think I'd remove the numberplate light and shift the plate up higher though. You decided against the carbon undertray then?
Chococat Hurt,sad,angry,again, 22 Apr 2011 23:38 exuptoy: Mr Brightside:
Well Ade. Happy?

TR Reading, Berkshire, 23 Apr 2011 07:55 Rich,
Phill Pig Hill, 23 Apr 2011 08:03 That looks nice, am.thinking of buying one later this year when funds allow.
Green Meanie Huddersfield, 23 Apr 2011 09:32 Gave it the solvol autosol and wax job an it loved it
Animal Mother Guarding the border, 23 Apr 2011 12:15 Taxed it.
Blizzard Coventry, 23 Apr 2011 12:33 Mr Brightside:
Chococat Hurt,sad,angry,again, 23 Apr 2011 14:52 I still can't decide if I like the undertray. I definately don't like the OE indicators though, they ming.
Blizzard Coventry, 23 Apr 2011 15:58 I not a massive fan of them either but I can't seem to find an after market set I like
Chococat Hurt,sad,angry,again, 23 Apr 2011 16:21 I got some of these Oxford Mercurys, black ally with smoked lenses: http://www.bikebits4you.com/Accessories/...

PaleBlue Rugby, 23 Apr 2011 20:14 Set up the suspension to suit me as it was still set for the previous owner.

Cheers for today mate and nice to meet you and the good wife
The 2 lads who turned where quite chatty as well so all in all an enjoyable after noon
Chococat Hurt,sad,angry,again, 24 Apr 2011 22:09 Marvelled (not in a good way) at how excruciatingly uncomfortable the seat is after 100 miles. Jesus Christ, I couldn't wait to get of fthe damn thing, it was killing me. My knees weren't much better off either.

Then went straight out on a 75 kms bimble to the powder coaters with a part from my chopper project. My first ride this year. It was glorious 
They weren't shiny enough when they came out of the packet, so polished each one individually
