gave mine its first clean since i got it, and replaced the old worn out number plate:
So today the weather is good again, pretty hot. I figured before I go out for a run for the afternoon I should give my Fazer a quick once over and fit the first of the new bits i've bought for it.
A few bugs present on the front (bleurgh):

most of the rest of the bike is just a thin film of dirt/dust, like this:

in particular the wheels:

and top of the priorities list of parts to replace; the number plate which has started to delaminate at the top (and which also strangely has 4 holes in it, but two bolts? (possibly re-holed with new tail tidy?):

Some mess left from the Scott oiler (anyone tell me how to adjust this to lower the rate, this whole side of the bike has some oil contamination so i assume its set too high?):

After a quick clean down with some Prima Hydro, Autosmart G101 and a sash brush for the crevices (and then protected with HydrO2 to help keep it clean):

New plate fitted, with some new bolts (legal sized

And yes, I did go back out after looking at this and square up the yellow bolt so both the slots point the same way :rolleyes :rollin
I'll more or less keep riding and doing quick washes till the weather gets worse, during the winter I will strip the bike down and correct all the panels, but for now I would rather be out riding it :lol
