I removed my mirrors, switched them over so I could have them upside down.
Thought it went well with the café racer look.
Problem is, I keep looking up and thinking my mirrors have fallen off.
Takes some getting used to.

Got some PR4's fitted, and had an interesting ride home with the old ones... in rain.
£250 fitted: not bad I'd say.

Failed MOT on play in the hub a couple of weeks back. Got tester to do a proper going through to give me a list to sort outas soon as he said it would fail. Spent most of the time so far waiting for the correct stake nut to be sent. Ended up getting one from someone else in a VFR group as the fucktards I ordered from kept sending me an M30 instead of M35, which as far as I can tell, is for an Ifor Williams trailer.
Once it arrived, I Stripped it down, cleaned it. Checked bearings for play - none. Cush seems tight enough. Blasted and painted brake torque arm while I was at it.

Rebuilt hub, making note of correct direction of conical washer. stripped and cleaned caliper back on.

All done. No play.

Also replaced left hand grip, will get brake/rear light bulb (one filament on one bulb out)and clean out contacts in switch tomorrow, which should finish off the advisiories.
Work rat - Replaced chain and tightened up rear sprocket, despite having locking tabs on the bolts, a touch of play had crept into it, making a clunk when getting back on the throttle. ____________________ '98 VFR800 (touring) - '12 VFR800 Crosrunner (Commuting) - '01 KDX220 (Big Green Antisocial Machine) |

And also changed the front/rear brake shoes on the Suzuki.. Originals were very worn, and one had a bit of delamination- didn't take much to pry the material off.

Replacing the redundant pillion seat...

I didn't like the idea of Chinesium rubbing against plastic so I thought I'd stick a bit of Gorilla tape on the bottom:

And without the pillion footpegs:
https://i.imgur.com/17Ww1Lt.jpg?1
Interesting... on the nearside I just unbolted the whole arm. On the offside the arm also supports the stock exhaust but the footpeg and its mount unbolt, unlike the other side which is all welded together as one piece. Almost like some one knew I was going to do this
Just need to get some hex bolts to tidy things up a little. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

I peeked at it through the shed window on the way to put the bins out.

The RSV100R has gone off to the dyno today to see if a fuelling problem is causing it to cut out at low speeds.
Hopefully I'll have some.nice printouts and figures to boast about. ____________________ Current : MSX 125 Past : CBR 900RR Monkeybike : c50 LAC : ZXR750 H2 : FZR600 : ZX7R P3 : YW100 : TRX850: Trophy 900 T309 : GSXR 600 L0: Monkeybike : XJ6S Whosthedaddy |

Given it a wipe over as yesterday I was forced to ride it through a small amount of water where a drain had burst. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

Striple passed its MOT.
XR sidelight hasn't worked for a while, replaced it and still no joy. Wiggled the bars and nada. Wiggled the switch and bingo.
Took switchgear apart in hot + sweaty garage in 33c. Fingers slipped. Ball bearing, contact plate and two tiny springs pinged into the dusty concrete floor.
(luckily had put down kitchen roll in advance, expecting to drop something).
Scraped + cleaned the contacts etc
Then took 2 hours to get the little buggers all back again. Springs and bearing pinging all over the place. I suck.
But eventually luck intervened and the lights are now working. |
