So the Brakes got serviced, I'm glad I did them last year and I'm gonna do em every year !!
only 1 sticky piston so just a clean up and bled the system, cant harm putting fresh
fluid in, easy as well (and not expensive)

The fairing got reassembled and I'm quite pleased the freshly painted headlight surround nearly matches !!
Its still a pain to get it all assembled, trying not to brake lugs off or crack anything !
Easy to fit on the bike though :D

Front and back mudguards fitted, and fitted rear footrests, but lost one of the little ball bearings
so its a trip to the ball bearing shop for me tomorrow !

Also got to re bleed the clutch tomorrow.

Apart from my continual struggle lining up the exhaust and an oil change that's me pretty much done for now :thumbup:

Brake and clutch fluid if hygroscopic so attracts water and moisture etc. Its a good job always to replace the fluid at least every 2 years. simple job just keep topping up and bleed through until clear.
missing the noise, not the vibes. However never say never!

Last I heard was from Steve97, that he was all loved up & Silver Storm had taken a back seat.

Ah so the Storm is his second love now :lol:

Good to know you've heard of him via Steve97 even if it was a while ago :thumbup:
It just seemed a bit odd after him being on here a lot and being so passionate about his bike, then nothing.

Cheers Mac,

Chris.
