Jonjon - our european friends/foes on the continent do indeed use metric systems. We inhabitants of the queen's isle are all wombles up and have a mix of old and rather odd measurement systems, and some jolly sensible ones like our european friends/foes use. Good old british miles for us islanders - is that the same as a US mile?
Oh, I felt sorry for the storm so gave her a spraying of scottoil protection oil stuff
fitted new clear lenses
fitted new clear lenses courtesy of toonarmy , meant putting the original indicators back on the rear but think they are better than the tiny ones, just need a washer to adjust and straighten them as the underpan is slightly sloped at the fixing point but im happy

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Idk about a british mile.. I did grow up using the easier to understand metric system. . Where everything is counted up to an even number.. where the speed limit is 80 not 55BigVeeGrin wrote:crikey - how did that get past without starting a bit of a ruckusjonjonsocal wrote: I got to admit that I wasn't excepting it to be so smooth and powerful for a bike with over 95k miles (thats over 152,887 kilometers for you European folks, I think)

Not today but yesterday all my troubles seem so far away
I finally bought a Mityvac kit and have also ordered some muffler packing to re-do my Aratas. I'm going to use the Silent Sport loose fill. This is the same company that does the packing for the likes of Akropovic, Arata.

I didn't buy direct though and purchased from eBay a 1000gm - x4 packs. 500gm a can which I was advised via email from Silent Sport.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330871115565? ... 1439.l2649
It's time to do them as my exhaust sounds like distorted speakers if you know what I mean.

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Worth double checking but I think they might be all the same size.
Here's another listing that list the same bolts for multiple callipers.

(:-})Most calipers made by Tokico, Nissin, Sumitomo (and non-branded types made by the motorcycle manufacturers) use this type of bolt to join caliper halves
