What Have You Done To Your Bike Today?

[Yarek]

Weather was a bit crappy - so a nice handwash all over, followed by fresh dry chain lube

 

[Friz]

Forgot to post this yesterday when I did it, but my bike is now sporting a new screen:

Today I went for a ride with my Dad for breakfast.

 

[Mikesmotorbike]

looks good Friz, and nothing like a breakfast ride

I wish they sold your cbr here, Friz.

All that for a carburettor clean out (no joke)

Gave my baby a well deserved clean after the crap weather this week after a brief dry spell turned the kinda-dusty roads into a mud factory. Gave her a nice lube up and cleaned her break discs+calipers superficially with some spray on degreaser. Took a time lapse video of it too Going to put a vid up of it later on me 'tube

I had planned on changing my brake lines, pads and calipers today but the rain put paid to that as I don't have a garage so have to work on the drive.

Ah well whatever nevermind.

I undented/unbent my rim, threw on a new set of Pilot Road 2's, and balanced the tires with a set of Dynabeads. I'm feeling pretty good.

Now I need some touch-up paint.

This thread is asking what you DID with your bike...not what you DIDN'T do.

 

[CurlyBlakey]

Fitted new rear indicators, nearly flush now, maybe i won't walk into them again....

Today I did Cheesecakes tail tidy mod on my Hornet Only difference was that due to my numberplate I didn't need to fit a back plate behind the original metal bracket. I spent hours and hours getting rid of as much corrosion as possible with a wire brush wheel on a drill before painting it silver, this was the only colour of suitable paint we had and I think it looks alright. Might re-spray black sometime.

I also trimmed my standard numberplate, keeping it well within legal border requirements (must have 11mm from any letter) It had enough space easily for 4x2 text before so as it only had to be a 3x2 I cut it down... I was tempted to fit the one shown in the picture (came with my bike) but It's not legal.

The motivation to do this today was due to planning on heading over to Farnborough tomorrow and having a dodgy indicator, these Oxford ones are so much brighter which has justified their extortionate cost (only £18 but that's a lot for what they are, cheapest my local shop had). Anyway, take a look - I also replaced my hugger with a standard chainguard I bought off somebody because the hugger kept touching my tire in corners.

 

[TheGardenSrake]

All I did was rape mine.. LOL

 

[TrailChaser]

All I did was ride the shit out of mine, and I even laid it over on the trails today. Got it all on video...

 

[RideXRide]

New tires, replaced 4 output gears and 3 shift forks, new spark plugs, new oil filter

 

[Rogentx]

I took my bike out for a spin around the block, and then I woke up and realized I was still in bed. Man, can’t wait until I get one, I’ve been having the twitch for awhile now! :shock:

 

[MotoRick]

I've been patiently waiting for the rain to end. I think you Limeys sent your weather to us. :x

 

[Mikesmotorbike]

[ToastToGo]

[Chuckles85]
