And Skype!!! That is the first thing Steve told me I had to do....

 

I road and filled up the gas tank today...

 

Remember Indiana, it isn't the miles per gallon that matters, its the smiles per gallon!

 

I smiled alot on the twisties and enjoyed the curves as well....

 

I did 600km on her today with 6 mates. Was a top day. Got her home in time for a new chain and sprockets when they arrive over the next couple of days. She stuck it up a Bandit and a CB 1300 all day. You all would have been proud...lol.

 

I put the grab rail in for Powder coating (gloss black) today, it could take a few days as he will put it in with other job when they do black. pcture to follow when i get it back.

 

put some VFR clip-ons, on fixed an exhaust leak from the new engine upgrade. The new engine seems to have a lot more low end torque as I keep breaking the tire loose in the turns when I hit the gas to bring the bike up out of the turn. Going to have to get used to that.

 

The replacement speedo nut arrived yesterday so this morning I undid a couple of screws.

 

Took the 93 out for a good run , it handled really crap, came home checked the
tire pressures........ 18 psi front , 28 rear ........... holy **** .....LOL I never did
check them since I picked it up plus it's getting waaay cooler here these days.
Check your tires

Also started working on fabricating a new luggage rack .......and it's coming out
nice...... will post pics in MBJ's "stop me thread" later

 

I spent the day in the shed working on her today. New chain and sprockets, Zero Gravity screen which looks good but not a perfect fit. It took a bit of bad language and manipulation to fit it but I got there in the end. Far better than the stock screen. The gold DID chain looks great. Front sprocket was f&*ked to say the least. The rear could have been used again but I don't believe in new chain on old sprockets. Anyway a very productive day of maintenance was had. She also got a polish and I put some rubber edging on the screen.
