    Thanks mate, what I thought. Running SAI and aftermkt cans made the popping happen on anything closed throttle (bit obnoxious), so I am looking to lessen, but not lose it all together.

    What a difference a windscreen makes! My Dart Marlin finally cleared customs and arrived today. I love the look, but especially love being able to take a spin at night in 4C and not freeze to the bone. (Or feel like I am being thrown off the bike under take-off!)

    Took the Sprint apart, fitting a new mono shock and rear tyre is being replaced. Got about 8/9,000 km from it , got a puncture , piece of "Bone" if you can believe that !!
    I had maybe 500+ or so km left. Had to run tyre and rim into Perth JCS to get new tyre. Bike has been off the road a week. IMG_20201122_140835.jpg
    Lucky the America working fine, went to lake Ninan just 10~km from Wongan Hills. Had a picnic and rode home. 340 km round trip. IMG_20201121_140628.jpg
    Supported the swing arm thus , tie down strap over the frame hooked to axle. Photos of new shock and the dead old one to follow.

    cheers capt

    The old mono shock IMG_20201125_105847.jpg
    The remote hydraulic adjuster has no fluid left in it. So can't adjust the spring preload anymore. The damping side is fine !
    IMG_20201125_105908.jpg
    New tyre and new Hagon rear shocky in.
    Just time to rebuild the body work back on ... IMG_20201125_110756.jpg
    Close up of bottom link, shock and front pivot bolt. Had to remove exhaust system to get better access to this sucker. The link wouldn't drop out from between the two MTG plates for the suspension's front pivot anchor point , had to lightly persuade with a Manchester screw driver. All good once that dropped, Shockey fell out !!!


    cheers capt

    Got the mirror glass replaced in my Triumph housing after putting up with a crack for 2 months. They left a slight gap, but much better

    Installed an Evotech tail tidy on the Daytona M2 today. It's been sitting in the garage for a couple months while the weather was still nice, but it finally snowed pretty good a couple days ago, so I had some spare time to install the thing. Once the snow melts I'll take it for a spin and make sure it performs well. ;)

    Fitted new (to me) 'TourMaster' saddlebags gifted to me from two sons who had no use for them. Modified locking mounts (of unknown origin) to fit. One son says they are mounted too high, but seems about the same height as those Triumph installs on the LT model. Have to swing the 'ole leg higher to mount/dismount, we'll see how that works out as I ride more. Can always drop them another 1-1/2 inches. 103_1147.JPG 103_1145.JPG

    That really does look purposeful, lovely, only thing I would change is the exhaust wrap, it can carry it off but would look even better without.

    Looks like a blast to ride.

    Unexpected electrical repairs.

    First removal of left fairing since getting in Aug 19 has revealed a wiring bodge on indicator link that I might as well sort now.

    Expect it won't be the first bit of poor electrical work I find, but this getting all the bodywork off the 955i Daytona was intended as a voyage of discovery and repair so not complaining.

    Well actually I am - I need a heated garage at my age I've realised!

    Pottering in the garage in the first lock down was so much more pleasant.

    Having a garage at all is certainly a blessing. Now to take it 'to the next level' w/heat would be even greater still. I most often used an old wood burning stove when I in lived in the north country. Older now and not piddling so much.
