Fitted a Denali mini soundbomb and what a difference, I couldn't get it to work at first then I looked on the Internet and found out that it needs the engine running for it to get the power.
Duck, I’m struggling. Why on earth would you fit an anti-aircraft sight to a fixed surface lines mount? Are you familiar with beaten zones (don’t answer) and interlocking/overlapping arcs (ditto - don’t answer)!?
Fitted the carbon exhaust shield. Was going to get out but looking like rain so back to the shed it goes. Oh well, maybe tomorrow....
Thanks! Yes, it certainly does. Maybe a bit too much tbh but I knew that when I got it. 107db at 5200rpm apparently and you can’t get baffles for it. When it starts, you can "feel" it in your chest. As I generally pootle about anyway, i'm not making much noise in northants!
Went for a ride up to Kenilworth Castle. It cleared up a bit shortly after taking this and the sun came out , but I was so cold on the way home I don't think I'll see my nuts until tomorrow
Took chain guard off to give chain a good check clean and relube and got covered in black goop I’ll be glad when I’ve finished the muc off stuff so I can get some dry lube
You Know it's cold @MadMrB when you are riding along and think you can hear the engine knocking and it's only your nut's against the tank
Using XCP rust blocker for the first time. I painted it on my Speedmaster 1200 rims and spokes, then I lifted the tank , seat, and sprayed underneath tank and finished with paintbrush and a squirt or two of ACF50 on any loom connections I could see. The idea is I will use Scotoiler FS360 on top of existing XCP. I will leave XCP until it drys first. Being safety conscious I siphoned the fuel as It was nearly full so I disconnected the battery first, just in case. What a hassle!! It was tricky to disconnect but trying to get the positive back on with my pigtail charger and glove heater ends then slide the battery back in with no clearance. The negative side was not to bad but what a performance...wont be doing that again in a hurry. Not very easy to work on the Speedmaster/Bobber.
