winter projects

Post by billinom8s »

Who's doing what then? As some bikes have been in hibernation for a few months already, what's being done?

Bike going into hibernation? What ya doing to it?

Luckily, as far as I know the only thing the duke needs is to be ridden and my 350 just needs a clean as it's been serviced. May do a valve clearance check in a bit though.

Other than that i've just finished a z1000 fork Service and have Menzies track beast to go through.

I am hoping to paint my (now 2 year old) fairings! and give my bike a good deep clean and usual service.

Tempted to upgrade my rear shock also but my biggest winter project is going to try and be less of an elephant which is all the performance upgrade I really need over more shiny bits!

Just finished removing front ABS from the track Tuono and fitting an Accossato master cylinder which was a twat of a job as hard pipes run on the inside of frame rail and fitted before the engine. Needed custom brake lines as couldn't find an off the shelf fitment, different calipers from non abs tuono. Also just fitted a new Arrow exhaust and link pipe and Pipercross air filter. The new year should see a trip to the Dyno for a remap.
