what have you done to your bike today?

[hagar]

Decided to replace the stock bars as found them too far forward so fitted Bikini Beach Bars.
Also removed and replaced with new all the handlebar wiring which was wired internally and have now routed it externally at least for now as makes it a lot easier to change the bars later if I decide to do so.
Luckily didnt need to extend the throttle, clutch cables or brake lines.

Afer test ride yesterday (It rained!) really like the bars and new riding position.

Next job is to fit the SU I picked up on Facebook for £150 as now have the rebuild kit for it.

Cleaned and waxed the chain, rode it. Visited a church (which those that know me well, will know is a very unusual occurrence, but I didn’t actually go inside)

Churches and Cathedrals are a place that I can spend time in mainly for the historic significance and architecture masterpieces but also for the peace and tranquility.

I love History, 2 years ago we walked the 84 Mile's of Hadrians Wall and anything of historical significance just grabs my interest, thankfully our great country has so much to offer if we look beneath the surface

I don't want to put you off but John Willamson of RMD fame told me many years ago that Stainless Steel fasteners react with Alloy Engine Casings weakening their hold on the Alloy. It's called Galvanic Corrosion. Of course I took no notice and replaced all my Bolts/Screws 'cos the look good.

That's why it's so important to use plenty of copper grease on the threads and screw bodies, not only to stop binding but to reduce corrosion.
