[Dead Eye]

And just spent an hour riding around fruitlessly looking for a shop or business with a pun in it's name for the next challenge on that particular forum. the only one I knew of has recently changed it's name! Bugger  :rolleyes

I saw a roadside burger van named "Breakfast at Timothy's" which made me chuckle yesterday on the A38 just south of Bristol Airport... mind you that's a fair distance from you

I can't remember who,  but someone was recommending quite a cheap blutooth one recently.

That could have been me?

Ive had a Chinese 'clone' Bluetooth headset for a few years now with zero problems

A run down to H's for tea and bacon butties again. Not much there (unsurprisingly). Got a snap for a picture challenge (your bike on a bridge) but got back too late to win.



Must get this shot in summer in sunshine - The Thames at Abingdon.

Close Encounters of the Feathered Kind
Had a pheasant fly out into my knee on Wednesday's run to Wales. Today, came round a corner to find a Red Kite swooping down on a couple of Magpies that were casually strolling across the road and had to grab a handful; apart of course, from the usual pigeon-ducking. Oh the joys of the countryside!

Yeah, but where's the sunshine? 
Keep passing it, usually on the way to/from H's, and for some reason that view always catches my eye, don't know why.

Didn't do anything with the bike today, but Wednesday's forecast could mean another Wales day

Hi nick.......taken in july matey......so no sun  :rolleyes

[esetest]

Due to  life serving me a shit sandwich today , I decided to put some sauce on it and take the Fazer out for a blast  ,  headed down to Cheddar , across the Mendips , on to Shepton Mallet , pass Longleat , back along the Warminster bypass , through the beautiful city of Bath  , across Chelvey Bridge , pass Chew valley Lake , up and over Dundry hill back into Bristol , warm sunshine , mainly dry roads , light traffic , beautiful scenery , did a total of 100 miles , bike was sweet , the K&N filter certainly seemed to give it some extra oomph , after all that the sandwich tasted quite good .

Booked it in to get some new rubber fitted

[noggythenog]

Had a complete experience today..(read drama).




After fitting 1 crash bar yesterday i set about the other one.....much swearing, bending, rubber mallet bashing & paint chipping later & i had finally got somewhere.....only to pop my coolant pipe & send coolant all over the patio :'( .




Eventually realised that my silicone hose will not fit with the bar in place.....took bar off again...put bike back in shed......so now i need to do another coolant change plus oil change before i can go anywhere.






Totally focced off!

Are the hoses a different size to the standard ones then ?

The crash bars are designed to fit a standard FZS600 so I wonder why the clearance is an issue ?

I had a set of those crash bars on my boxeye and they fitted fine. Strange one, or am I overlooking something obvious (It wouldn't be the first time)  :o

Ye i imagine that the standard hoses are fine with these bars lez but the new silicone hose was only just big enough to span the gap so that the extra length required to get round the bar just isnt there.


There was quite a bit of persuasion to get the bars in place but i managed it....which made the hose issue all the worse.


Oh well....who wants some bars???

[Dead Eye]

There can't be that much in it... only a few mm surely? The internal diameter is obviously the same, but the wall height is slightly larger but I can't see it being any more than maybe 4-6mm and given that they are silicone, they should have some give?

They give ok but it's purely length, instead of a straight a to b the hose has to go under the chunky crash bar & because they've been cut to perfection to fit there just isnt the length, strange really because they were made from the pipes supplied by you which were originals but i tried and tried and tried...the only way was having just a few mm of hose over the pipe which wasn't enough for me to clamp round & didnt fill me with confidence it would stay on...apage had photos with the very same bars fitted to his fazer with standard hoses.
