Finally managed to fit the Tyga seat unit and tank on the bike at the same time. Tyga's fitting instructions are on par with Haynes manuals and their "Reassembly is the reverse of dissassembly"
Fitted a TTX to my Panigale V2, annoyingly it’s a full fairing off job on the V2 as you can’t get to the front bolt properly, an excuse to clean up some bits though I suppose
I'm with you on the Haynes manual thing as they lack close up photographs and detailed instructions on the grey areas.
I've taken off all the protection I'd put on the Scrambler brake discs etc when I applied ACF50 last week and gave it a final buffing. It looks mint! This afternoon I'm taking the seat to an upholsterer to have an inch or so taken out, just to make it a tad more manageable when having to paddle on gnarly roads/routes over winter.
I called the lads to come get a couple of the bikes for service. Finally got 600 miles on the v4 but I think the gear position sensor is acting up. Diavel needs a rear tire and possibily belts. Hope ye all are doing well on that side of the pond.
This. Single point fixing, solely for deflecting the wind away from fingers. If all else fails, there is a pair of Oxford handle bar muffs which the hand guards will provide extra support for. Andy
Finally got round to changing rear sprocket on Ugly No2, kept it stock at 42 teeth on a Renthal quick-release carrier, I say quick-release, one fixing slightly bent enough to catch on thread so a bonk with a copper mallet sorted that out at first attempt, v. satisfying.
I decided it was time to fit my Barkbuster Blizzards to my BM. I realised there were gaps, so decided to tape them up but didn’t have any black gaffer tape, so it’ll have to be silver for now. Had a ride to Gunthorpe Bridge.
Booked the Monster for an MoT, need to move the Cagiva out of the way so I can get it out of the shed then give a clean and once over. Booked the teenagers moped in for an hour later on the same day so it'll either be a good day or a bad one..!
