Spent ages riding it round block, getting off checking everything, repeating, trying to work out why i was fighting the vanvan to go straight, bars oscillating. Had a cup of tea, then realised hadn’t checked tyre pressure. It was 12psi on front, it’s usually at 19psi.

Today I did have the "new" Pan delivered and took it for a quick ride round the villages.

Silky smoooth.

I found the ignition switch in my American ̶d̶r̶e̶a̶m̶ ̶m̶a̶c̶h̶i̶n̶e̶ tractor had come loose so had to strip half the engine apart (slight exageration) to sort that. (why is it cool to put your ignition down by your knee?)

Went over the bike with a fine tooth comb. Left hand side panel hanging by one fixing as the other grommets had split. Brake pads not brilliant and one caliper bolt loose. Rear air suspension low. Total bodge job on the rear speaker wiring. Going to totally replace that cause Americans don't seem to understand how crimps work.

I was replacing the front pads when next door neighbors grand son came out and said my bike was beautiful. A lad of taste. He then proceeded to help me by asking all those questions you don't want to think about while you are trying to get the brake pistons to retract with a g glamp and a bit of flat bar.

Still it made his day when i sat him on it and started it. His Mum wasn't so impressed though

Took the top yoke off the old pan's forks and correctly routed the cables i got wrong a couple of weeks ago.

Also removed the heated grips controller (original Honda) and plugged them into the new pan's grips.
No heat though so I reckon I must need another wire somewhere.

Would you mind sending a link. In very interested in the concept, more than actually needing it at the moment,

Finally installed the crash bars on the Guzzi.

I't's only taken me a year to get round to it.

Started re wiring the saddle bags. Aftermarket lights and speakers. All works ok but they are quick release panniers yet you cant because the wires are too short. Going to source some six wire snap connectors from somewhere. Plus its basically an eyesore.

Been sorting this mess out. Actually, after wire wheeling down absolutely nothing wrong with the metal.

The Old Fella seems happy with the progress on his Harley Breakout. The brake light now behaves and I've re-tuned the engine, he says it runs much better now.

The only fly in the ointment is one of the forks leaking a bit. Dismantle, clean, main seal and dust seal and new oil I suppose, annoying given we already did all that a few years ago.
