Well finally stuck in new front pads after cleaning the pistons as one had became stuck and wore a pad practically down to the metal.
Took her for a spin and hey ho it's still binding . . . Guess i'll be rebuilding a blue spot when I get a chance to get round to it

Fitted spare set of Pirelli supercorsas, oil change, stripped and cleaned the carbs, new plugs, caps and coils all ready for Bedford autodrome track day on the old girl.
All ready and set for the day.
Fantastic day had great time with another fazer 600. Did 120 miles on the track, my tyres took a hammering.
A few on track picks of the day, have booked again for 25th July.
New pick it was getting very low on the fast corners.

Tested the fuel pump, pumps like a good un but just won't stop pumping :wall ..lol
Life is never complete. Once you've discovered rock music, beer, bikes & girls, you have the rest of your life to intimately explore each one.. Good luck with finishing that project.
So the old girl passed with no advisiors on monday and ive had a few bits and bobs needing too go on rim tape , heat wrap , irodium plugs and a pipercross filter ! Looks and rides much better now. Ive still got a alloy radiator too go on but if i find time this weekend it will be fitted

Had a short power cut and a 3 hour complete internet outage last night, so decided to change the oil on the bike.
Rounded off the marshmallow sump bolt. :'(
I never ever do it up tight either, but trying to undo it with only a ring spanner in a stupid spot that a socket won't fit, plus me being right handed not helping, it all went a bit Pete Tong.
Bike's just coming up to the 4000 mile point since the last oil change so no big deal, and new shiny magnetic bolt on order.

Sweet Jesus that's bright! Are you running 2 H4 HIDs or is it a custom set up? Mine has the cyclops look.

Thanks Adam
Yeah they're bright and not blinding, had my mate well in front of me and he told me and no oncoming vehicles flashed at me so they must be ok.
I really want to take them out for a midnight blast to try them but I'm generally sleeping so I'll need to wait for the darker nights
Both standard bulbs H1 & H4 but in 6000k HID kit and dual light mod as well.

Now it's lighter in the evenings, the list of summer jobs begins. Brake rebuild, carb clean, headers need re-painting...
Did the Bike Copper make any reference as to how some of the numbers fell off your reg plate :lol
