what did you do with your fazer today ?

[fazersharp]

I dont "get" blue wheels as a rule unles the bike is blue but then looking at yours with the polished rims you have matched the blue to the blue dot calipers and also done some blue on the disk also some extra blue touches here and there I see, I think it works with the silver

Well because I'm a wee bit sad I gave the front sprocket area a dam good clean out and it was fooking rotten inside it so it got the same treatment the rest of the bike as got recently also fitted the front and rear sprockets (with titanium sprocket nuts) ready for the chain tomorrow, gold X ring

put a new set of spark plugs in the FZ6, they didn't look as bad as I thought they would to say they have done 39,000 miles, changing the coolant as the radiator was removed and might paint front of engine and polish the down pipes and......................

[Rexr]

Fitted my new chain and took the hugger off to give it a good cleaning and then a waxing.......My m8 came round earlier to test fit the custom torque arm he's making me......

Just about to jump on it and ride from Dublin airport

Surprised its not gone /finglasrough

[noggythenog]

Got the thou outta the shed, adjusted the Gilles rear sets as far back and upwards as they go..........the gear lever was too high so my toe was resting on it on the level & it was too much of a whole leg lift excercise when trying to up change.




So i adjusted the lever right down by taking the mechanism off the splines and i got the lever quite far down and was pretty happy with it all.




Went to put it back in the shed and put the side stand up and "ting" foc!.......the little spiggot for getting your boot on to pop down the stand is now hitting against the underside of the lever......ffs :lol


So im gonna have to adjust the lever back up a bit.


My only other thought after head scratching......if i cant lower the lever as far as i want it then perhaps i can raise the peg........but the peg is fixed........so maybe i can purchase a thicker, chunkier peg for the Gilles which will then mean that my foot is higher above the lever?????.......could it be that simple???

[hairnet]

Went to athlone via mullingar on the twiidly bits

[Rexr]

Picked up my custom rear brake torque arm from my m8's nice one off bit of kit.......and heaps better than the stock one.....

Oh. I didn't realise they put the black engines in a 53 plated bike (2003/2004).

Looks minty now.

They've gone over the top this year with the salt.

That's what you get for being away from site for 7 months.... Pics tomorrow!!!!


Agreed with salt the roads are white!  And a speed bump around the corner has a mound of it. Think they thought that 1 metre square was gonna get hammered bythe snow and ice! Still.. No snow in Gosport!?  :'(
