Hi all

Some of you may know me from another certain forum, just thought I'd display my bike here as well. I know, I shouldn't use my bike everyday for commuting as I do, but it's my only form of transport, so no choice really. (Riding in snow was interesting) Plus it gives me something to do; all the cleaning/maintaining/modifying needed to keep my bike tip-top.

lovely condition! cleaning must be a daily chore to keep it that shiney! Thumbs Up

nothing wrong with using it everyday for comuting, as i see it mechanical stuff is better off being used than sitting idle as long as you keep it regularly maintained!

i like it!

Jesus, you at least could have cleaned the filth off it before taking pictures of it! Wink Laughing

Like the HRC brake reservoir, where did you come by that?

Thanks for the comments - cleaning is a daily routine (even when it's not raining Embarassed )

HRC res. cover bought off a member of another forum, it was a case of right time, right price. They sometimes crop up on Ebay, but for ridiculous prices.

Er, never counted how long it takes to clean - usually daily, spend half an hour polishing off flies/brake dust/etc if it's been dry, half an hour to an hour if it's been raining + Saturday morning.

With all this good weather we've been having I decided to clean the inside of the fairing, plus spent an hour or so polishing the front downpipes - trouble is, they're hardly visible once the bike's back together. Confused Oh well, I know it's clean now, one less thing to worry about.

Bit late replying on this but I have a soft spot for VFR's/RVF's and yours is one hell of a tidy example. Never seen one as clean before.
Look after it!
