what did you do with your fazer today ?
Fitted some Galfer wavey discs on the front end.
Some say that he eats habanero chilli peppers dipped in oil of capsaicin for extra bite and that his pyjamas are made from Nomex. All we know is, he's called Ad the Bad

Used the bike as the sun was shining and  I had to drop some paperwork off at Olveston and Horfield and do some fault finding at Lockleaze .

MOT'd it, no advisories!  Big Grin  Rode it properly for the first time in a month after work, clutch that I had fiddled with felt fine but still rattling a bit so will get the carb tune out soon. Today was also the first proper test of my motad downpipes, I noticed no difference whatsoever in performance but it felt great to hear ALL of the exhaust actually coming out of the exhaust can and they look loads better so I am very happy with them!

Got the airbox back in after my whoopsie with the help of a rubber mallet.  Wink Thanks for the advice, Tony! Rain stopped play, but hopefully I'll have it all back in on Saturday. Looks like I'll be cleaning the carbs this weekend too, hopefully!  Smile

Realised the MOT had run out in February, crapped it, phoned round and it went straight through - result!
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.

Rubber mallet, best device before resorting to a lump hammer for getting square pegs into round holes  :lol

Left it in the garage because it was peeing down with rain when I left for work  :'( 
Ride for today coz you never know what tomorrow holds.

well Renthals drilled and fitted, and the R6 shock done too, all bolts on the wire wheel and come up well, great threads, bearings re-greased and some copper slip on a few things, either this bike has never been introduced to copper or lithium grease or the previous owners didn't give a fudge!! Way too many seized bolts for my liking!!
I like bikes....ALOT!!

De-siezed the rear caliper and replaced the brake fluid, repainted the steel downpipes and refitted in place of the stainless set so I can polish another day......all this on the 600 whilst the mighty thou sat there looking very dirty  :\
One, is never going to be enough.....
