nearly finished. Think it's a motad system. I used to make stainless exhausts years back and where possible, stuck the seam of the tube inside the bends where it was least likely to be seen. Still, things are usually made to a price these days.

Did the Bike Copper make any reference as to how some of the numbers fell off your reg plate

When did the cops start advertising fast food outlets?

CHiPs

Nice Work, not sure about the fairing but rest of the bike looks cool. Just think the fairing cheapens the rest of a great looking job.
If I send you my pipes will you polish them?

Thanks for the help with pics Unfazed, I'm not too clued up on this interWeb stuff. I'm undecided about the fairing too, would've had a pair of cibie lamps on a bracket from the headstock if I'd have built it myself, love the bug eye look. Don't reckon the little halogens will last long on the roads around here, the fat bars are going too, it's got double risers so will get a single set and put renthals on as soon as winter comes. Plan to wrinkle paint the engine and polish the side casings and cam caps, can do them on the mops so not as difficult as doing the pipes, that was a real ball ache. I'm going to jib out of offering to do yours

got the yellow/gold oxide and rust blobs off with birchwood casey rust and blue remover for guns before the polishing, it's probably the same as alloy wheel cleaner but a good bit stronger.

Changed today my front foot rests with vario CNC adjustable 23mm ones from MFW

the original ones has a rivet so this needs to drilled out to get the new ones in.

Fitted rentals and rental grips. Ordered an akrapovic copyfrom Hong Kong. Will post pics and a review when I get it

Today I changed my Fuel filter

That wasn't a lot easier than I thought!

bigsteve · « **Reply #284 on:** 30 June 2016, 09:26:43 pm »

Started making some horrible graunching noises in the latter stages of a quick 500 mile bimble over the weekend, so I gritted my teeth and looked to see if the front sprocket might need changing.

I think that's a yes. Whether that (and the small rockery that was embedded in the oily gunge under the sprocket cover) was causing the bumping and grinding remains to be seen, though.
At least I now know where to look for dropped battery terminal screws, anyway. And the bike is half a kilo lighter. And I get to change that dodgy nut (I think it's the thin one, at any rate).

Today I changed my brake fluids

Brettholmes89 · « **Reply #288 on:** 07 July 2016, 08:49:24 pm »

Today I made the footrest brackets I saw on here.

I made an alloy gear change rod.

Only small bits.

fazersharp · « **Reply #289 on:** 07 July 2016, 09:07:18 pm »

You two are putting me to shame with all of your making stuff from stuff skills, brake airlock, foot rest adjuster-- so I thought I would have a go at making something myself

sinto · « **Reply #290 on:** 13 July 2016, 04:27:10 am »

Sorted my digigear en route to work

Replaced my rear brake for a bluespot after work

Couldn't get it to bleed properly

But after a beer and a chat on the 1000 thread I kept going and success

Next job on my list is to replace front pads while I still try to figure out how to change the clocks, it's giving me headaches, I thought it was a straight swap

Mainly resprayed the fin area on the cylinder head of the foxeye.. If you shut one eye and stand on one leg, the finish is great

Had another great track day at Bedford Autodrome. Changed the front sprocket to 13 tooth for greater punch out of the corners. Videos being uploaded to YouTube tonight if anyones interested. Still revs into the red-line, fastest top speed 134 on the back straight not bad for 86,000+ miles. Added a few pics from the day.

Yesterday rather than today, rode in to work and met up with big brother!
After, took up to Deefer's for a complete overhaul (fluids, plugs, filters, brakes, brake lines, calipers & pistons and a carb balance) over the next few days
Hope to end up with a bike that drives the way it looks

stinch182 · « **Reply #298 on:** 31 July 2016, 09:08:21 am »
