Home from the GP a couple hours ago. Lovely ride home in the sun via Sale, Bairnsdale, Orbost etc. Bit different to the ride down though as we got rained on pretty much the whole way. In some places it was the worst rain I've ever ridden in. Around 1700km all up which was a good run for her. She pulled like a freight train all day. An absolute joy to ride on long distances. My lovely white rims are now filthy with brake dust and road grime. Oh well its to hot in the shed now I'll finish off the wheels etc 2mrw. Cheers.
A nice run by the sounds of it .. glad it was uneventful and the old girl was in good form ...

Yes it was a great ride mate for sure. She is looking better today with the wheels cleaned. I bought one of those Scala Intercom, MP3 player and bluetooth headsets at the GP Expo. An absolutely magnficient piece of kit that I would recommend to anyone. Took the Bird over today for a Michelin Pilot Power rear tyre. Wow I scared **** out of myself on it today. A very different bike power wise than the old girl......

I have bought and ordered the GIVI wing rack and mount. I have the stainless steel brake and clutch line. I have ordered a Vance and Hines full exhaust. Now I have a extra header still and micron bolt on. Opps I forgot the JET 1 kit I have sitting on the shelf too. Anyone have any suggestions on brake fluid?

FRONT AND REAR MotoGP STAND SET COMBO
Front Track and Paddock Stand Designed for use in the circuit garages,
MotoGP front track and paddock stands are essential for race and track days. Place the bike on MotoGP front stand to clear the tire of the ground to fit and remove warmers - essential when using tire warmers. Front stands use 32mm tube construction, fully reinforced for extra strength, finished in durable black powder coating.
I also ordered a set of these from flyncycle . Does anyone have any experence with these on a Cane. I also ordered new header gaskets since I am getting the Vance and Hines full exhause, It will arrive here on Thrusday . Does anyone have an idea where I can get new header bolts? The ones I have are the ones that came on the Cane. Also I am looking on here to see what size (litre) luggage (GIVI) I can get that will hold what I need plus look good . I am going to get the LED brake and turn signal's too if the bags have them.

I am just aquiring parts like I always have but this site that I have found this year has ramped it up. I have always bought parts mostly stock that I have found here and there, can't really tell ya how many parts I have for the 87'. I always wanted to keep it stock since there are no others that I have seen around Indianapolis. Now I know there is a bunch of the CBR1000's with a great bunch of people, world wide even Trout. Thanks again for all the help and answers that I have been looking for. Oh yea SMILIES
