what have you done to your "bike" today

[lloydie]

Finally got my jetting right, nice tan plugs.

Only had the carbs off 100,000,000 times.

But lots of power and over 200ks and no ROLD.

Great now get it down to the Dyno

Boys & girls, your thoughts please...

Thinking of changing my wheels from silver grey to black. Whaddaya think?

Only my opinion, but I think they will look good in black,

Chris.

Well done

I've heard of the RLOD, but what does ROLD stand for

That's the general consensus - that's Chris!

Me personally, I think a full black wheel would be too much. To compliment the orange, I'd have the wheel black and the rims cut and polished. There's a lot of shiny on yer bike Scuba, so the black wheel with polished rims would set it off, giving a compromise and a compliment to the rest of the bike.

Looking at the photos of the black wheel with the black rubber - there's too much black, and it looks like there now needs to be something to separate the tyre from the rim (colour wise)

Decals would look tacky. So, diamond cutting the rims would be the way I'd go.

I like your thinking. I'm actually taking a lot of the polished alloy off the bike. Or, to be precise, giving most of the polished stuff a good going over with Scotchbrite to give a more semi-matt finish. Still like the idea of black powdercoat and semi-polished rims on the wheels, though. Probably not diamond cut as that'll be a bugger to keep in good nick.

Little Kwak got MOT today then took the Bannana Storm for a new front tyre...... and discovered that my brembo pads were almost on the metal!!!! eek. so I put the EBC pads back in, see if I can tell the difference.

then fitted some new footpegs on my rearsets as I have worn the diamond knurl of them so they are getting a bit slippy in the wet.

then it rained, so I didn't get a chance to go bed the brakes in

T'was yesterday, but meh!

Stuck a set of Metzeler Tourance Next's on her yesterday as I was wombles fed up of the bridgestones' unreliability.. Went out for a ride afterwards to scrub them in and they're soooo good. Really do remind me of the M7RR's in how much confidence they provide. Wales will be fun, it seems

[lloydie]

Refitted the centre stand and lubed the chain ,fitted a baffle in the can , just need to fit my scottoiler and get some heated grips and a hugger and it'll be ready to winter .
Car is going back so the bird will be my only transport for a year or so , no more taxi runs :-)

another day cleaning the exhaust, a real pita without the correct tools and only one hand, slowly getting there tho, it's off to a new home on sunday, so it needs to be nice and shiny.

Hide it in a sheep, like everyone else.
