suprise My winter project.

Post  supraloopy Thu Oct 20 2011, 22:04

First topic message reminder :

Hi I'm not sure if this is the place to do this but here goes. I bought my cat about a week ago and have enjoyed getting to grips with it pale
I'm going to hang on until the weather gets too bad to ride with confidence and then start the job of bringing the bike back to tip top condition :whoop:
I'll put some pics up once I have worked out how to get them off my phone confused
So keep checking and please comment if you think I'm going wrong anywhere. clink

It still has not been polished, that's how it is just put back together, I now have to snag my work and correct as needed violin

Must admit she does look a bit on the sexy side.
If that doesn't make it onto Billy's exotic picture i'm a monkeys uncle.

Probably best to wait until it's properly clean though cos that's a few embarrassing blemishes on it Wink

£200 for front and rear disks... I'm liking the sound of that, but will do a bit of digging for more reviews.

Confucious say "Cheaper not always better", Confucious also say "cheaper not always mean bad"

He's a confusing fella is Confucious

I know one thing, they look the muts nuts and if they are good stoppers I might be in for a set

Wondering if they are good for the BlackBird, mine have 63k on them and could do with changing.

I know they have a picture of them on a Busa but brakes are pretty important so I want to be sure before I go for it

I was looking at them when replacing mine, had come across a few reports of them warping. Can't say if it was just a couple of people having 'unusual' problems or they are predisposed to the problem.
Wanted the wavys' but got an offer on EBC which I couldn't refuse.

Pic 3 The graphic is one of those marmite things, I'm not sure I like it but I wanted to put something on the bike that makes it a bit different. It looks better in the flesh, well I'm trying to convince myself that atm anyway ;0)

Oh sorry wasn't looking at the graphic . . . which is ok btw.

I was looking at the rear light . . . . looks out of place from that angle.

But as you say . . . "In the flesh" is all, . . . sometimes pics don't do justice.

Very nice....job well done.

For number plate illumination I think you need a white light but I remember greencat and eddie990 had ninja's with a tiny white led that didn't actually light it up but was enough to be mot'able and road legal.

I'm sure they'll be along to clarify.
