Ok so fitted the HIDs this weekend, it was a bigger job than I thought it would be. I got Hi-Lo ones that move in and out to create the high and low beams. They are really bright I'm really pleased with them, you can see them on the road even during the day! Haven't taken it out at night yet but should be much better then too. Well worth the upgrade for £20.
Moved the bike out into my small work area to do some picture shoots for the Engine Shop before I take it up to him and some other pictures for the company that is going to fabricate my forward control kits. Noticed my front fender was loose so you know what that turned into. Yup fender removal, tighten all bolts, add Blue Loctite and reassemble. Was a lot of fun though. Will be more fun once I get the engine work done. Peace.
Sounds good - pics pics pics! also a how to guide would be handy as I'm looking for the next mod on the Speed :upyeah:
Yeah ok will get some pics and stuff, my mates an auto electrician and he did the wiring. It didn't look too scary though in all fairness.
Ordering a rack, screen and panniers while the bike languishes under its (hopefully waterproof) cover as the summer continues to defy consistency....
Made my decision on exhaust mod, going for the scorpion serket taper in carbon on the speed triple, without baffle ! Will post pics when it arrives.
Had the tyres changed this morning and I went out for a nice afternoon ride round some country lanes. Loving This bike.:upyeah:
I'm saying nothing! However, why waste money - car tyres are cheaper than bike tyres size for size. Just sayin'...
New tyres. Takes a while to get rid of those strips :wink: I'm sure you will though :smile: (and post the proof)
Went for a ride to Borsmose strand. A beach about 20 mins away. Its a tourist area, lots of germans, but nice roads, not much police..:biggrin: You ride through a military practice area, watch out for tanks!!!!! yeah, sometimes they are on manovers....... 5.30 am, a good time to ride..... especially when youve been on the night shift, and wake early
Went for a nice 100 miles with some Street Triples. Quick change of plan when we ran into some rain. Finished with coffee and bread pudding at the local cafe.
Nipped round to a friends today and had a cup of tea and a smoke. We chatted, kicked each others tyres and agreed that mine are indeed in desperate need of replacement. Then I came home. Mine's a daily runner, so won't post much here as it'll just be spammed with facebook status update like posts.
