Noticed a rattle then a vibration through the pegs. Center stand split and the right hand side was dragging....

Took the Fazer out to scrub in the new T30 evo rear tyre , up thru Burrington , down thru Cheddar , then onto Wells and home , 70 miles done today it it lasts longer than the PR3 , then imo it's a better tyre than the PR3 .

Changed the spark plugs for iridium ones... Top tip! Take the fat bit off the top BEFORE you drop one into the hole and the tool can't then lift it back out :lol

over last couple of days......

Put R6 shock in with made up (temp) dogbones as waiting to see where I need to go with it, just wanted to try out the new shock, so spacers made and all settings set to middle I duly went for a wee run before going over Dukes Pass for those that don't know this road, it's a bit twisty to say the least!
Anyway, all the temp mods worked so I'll move onto getting proper stuff for it now.

Fairly happy with the settings on shock and the spring too as people have said I'd need a firmer spring but I just wonder if this one has already been upgraded as it didn't bounce around as I was expecting :)

Happy as Larry with the test ride :)

Also fitted my H4 HID but will need to wait for dark nights but my mate advised me they look awesome. :)
