Went up over the Elan, then onto Aberystwyth, then Llandovery, down to M&P and back to Bristol:

Went a wee 200 mile blast to Dumfries then along the A75 to Stranraer and back up the A77 to Kilmarnock, cracking day and my head is a little bit sunburnt

Is it not illegal not to wear a helmet in Scotland?

New front tyre and loosen off the steering head bearings.

Cleaned it, then applied a new coating/dressing I got in to try to the tyrewalls, and also to the mirrors. Seems to have brought the mirrors back to black a bit, which is Ideal

I suppose I should show you guys a couple of pics (I know how you all love pics):

I have got something similiar to that, called back to black. Bought it ages ago and gives black plastics a nice sheen.

Gave mine some grief on a few A and B roads

Not today, but recently, I changed the handlebars. The Renthals are no more. LSL is king!

But I made a little video of the Operation:

Lots of huffing and tool dropping...

Brilliant vid mate

yeah, its essentially the same sort of product, just with nano-tech bonding rather than a silicone spray that site on top. I believe this product is supposed to last 3-4 months on each application

Did the mirror mod, not road tested as yet, but look less antenna like and not filled with a view of my elbows. Hope the reports of less turbulence are also true.

MarkWales · « **Reply #3063 on:** 12 July 2014, 04:45:17 pm »

bought bits from Noggy for it

- might get the chance to fit this weekend

Big improvement when I did mine.

Finally fitted my new billet levers......haven't ridden the bike as yet as it's raining....just for a change...

MarkWales · « **Reply #3066 on:** 12 July 2014, 10:13:24 pm »

fitted short levers

Pillion grab handle with caps - a lot cleaner looking and better quality paint

stainless manifold - amazed at the difference in weight and internal bore

K and N filter and torque arm to go

JC · « **Reply #3067 on:** 13 July 2014, 08:41:53 am »

Polished up my manifolds, they're been slightly neglected by the previous owner.
Fitted a scorpion decat.
Added the seat cowl.
And went out for 150 mile ride

MarkWales · « **Reply #3068 on:** 13 July 2014, 09:48:30 am »

JC - What did you use to achieve that polish?

JC · « **Reply #3069 on:** 13 July 2014, 10:24:11 am »

I use autosol on my exhausts and metalwork. Still takes some time but it's the best that I've used so far

Dead Eye · « **Reply #3070 on:** 13 July 2014, 02:12:01 pm »

I swear I can never achieve that sort of shine on my metal work - not by hand at least... I've tried several times on various pieces (exhaust manifold, end can, other bits...) and spent hours on them without amazing results. They always look better than when I started, but never to a state that particularly impresses me...

red98 · « **Reply #3071 on:** 13 July 2014, 02:38:47 pm »

Fitted twin horns to the mighty thou.......managed to get them fitted in place of the old one.i have twin brake lines direct fron the master cylinder so was able to remove the splitter and bracket.....its tight but do'able...ill try and get some piccies later.......oh, forgot to mention......there foccin loud

Just got back from the Devon air ambulance trust rideout, from Tiverton to Teignmouth via 76 miles of nice roads. Overall I did a little over 100 miles. I would guess between 800-1100 bikes attended the ride.

The overflow parking area just after I arrived

More overflow parking in a different area.

Guess what?

I ended up playing tag with this Z750

Had a chat after we parked up. He was a little surprised when I told him mine was a 600 not a 1000 fazer. Grins all round, this day.

Wondered where all the bikes were going when I rode through Bolham this morning.

TonyW · « **Reply #3074 on:** 14 July 2014, 12:54:57 pm »

Final count was 915 bikes
