Collected a shiny new MOT. No advisories.


The best thing about being old is we did all our stupid stuff before the Internet was invented, so there’s no proof.

Made a good job of burying the factory to leave the chimney poking out as nice as that :good:

 

Refitted newly painted engine bars and also fitted new F Loud horn after the existing F Loud horn packed in.(Amazon Stebel Nautilus copy for £11 went to buy a second but suddenly £20) .

I haven't ridden mine for a few months but I did install a small deflector. Hopefully it helps a bit on the freeway.

Is it just me or is that monument a bit errr, phallic?

Rubber just ain't the rubber it used to be, A few years back we were fitting ball joints and the rubber gaiters were in bits before the following year.
Talking of which, has anyone got a supplier of good quality single skinned petrol pipe for motorbikes? I've been working on a few oldies lately, gt125 and a Rd125 and could use some like the original.

Replaced sprockets and chain (JT)

Replaced worn out front wheel bearings

Prep'd and painted the engine with anthracite high temp paint

Fitted foldable black anodised levers with adjusters and Logo

Fitted heated intelligent grips (the latest ones) which go immediately to red when you turn 'em on. Stupid idea in my opinion but that's how they come

Fitted double bubble screen 

Fitted new centre stand

Serviced the CSM and tuned the mixture and idle. Very nice now

Fixed two really bad electrical connector issues on the fuel pump and ignition circuit

Fitted mirror extenders

Installed front USB jack & phone holder

Put on R/H fairing decals which were missing after repair & respray

Fitted TDM logo wheel rim decals

New aftermarket FORCE carbon cans delivered (now I need to get the intermediate pipes made up for them)

Sent back the wrong bellypan to Motea who sent me one for BMW 900 - duh!

Ordered a Top Sellerie custom gel seat (arriving end of June)

 

All in all, a fair bit of work in the two weeks I've had the bike but it'll be worth it methinks!
