Over the last few weeks I've painted my wheels and discovered the front wheel bearings were foc'd. All replaced.Took off the swinging arm to check all the bearings and regreased  them prior to the winter, all ok.Plus I fitted a ShockTube to the rear shock. I Changed the rear brake line to Goodridge, what a Bastid to bleed, regretted doing that as the old one was perfect, only did it as I'd already done the fronts. It took ages to sort but all done now. And today I decided to change the oil and filter. I always buy a K + N because of the nut on the front to ease removal. This promptly rounded off and I had to resort to ramming a screw driver though the filter, it still would not turn bending my screw driver. I always use a torque wrench so Gawd knows how it got so tight, luckily my neighbour had a grip wrench and that did the job. Working nights tonight so thought I might have had to sit in traffic with the lemmings but now it's all sorted I'm a happy bunny.

And actually had it almost flat out in top today too - I'm not telling you where (think I took a wrong turn and wound up on a German autobahn - or was it my mates private drag strip?    :lol ) Not something I plan on doing often!

still a couple finishing touches to do during the winter & next year i'll look at getting a decent looking fairing on.
Downpipes are really nice, i cant notice any difference in performance, thought they'd just look nice which they do but im surprised at the nice raspy growl they produce.
