Pinned So what have you done to your bike today?

Got my bike registered this afternoon. My first experience riding on the road consisted of wet roads and a knob in a large 4x4 that cut me off at a merge point.

 

Sounds about right. Good to hear you got the rego sorted though!

 

perfectly normal mate... you will need to keep an eye out for those fuckers... good to hear your on the road.. now get some pics up and get a display pic up as well..lol

 

I swapped the A model forks for the C model forks on Kit.. then cleaned up all the flaky bits and sprayed the triple clamps black... pictures to come

 

As promised

 

Stripped my 250 ready for paint, tim_ after seeing ur clamps think I mite do the same

 

need to put an @ in front of the name you want to tag mate.... also i put about 10 coats of paint on there a can and a half of paint... im lucky my where my washing line is.. its like a wind tunnel and it gets full sun so i could lay down new coats every 5 mins...

 

I'm just going to take them to work tomorrow and leave in the spraybooth but they look good man

 

I'll see what I can do with the display pic. I'm glad I don't travel to and from work during peak hour.

 

Those clamps look sexy. I was thinking about polishing my top clamp.

 

that was going to be my plan.. but the mold markings from the casting process was we just way to prominent so I decided to paint them... pretty sure all ZXR gear was painted cause these clamps even had a clear coat..lol

 

Mine are covered in scratches and it seems like there is some sort of coating on them which I am assuming is clear coat. Might just be easier to paint them black. Would go with the rest of the bike.

 

i used a dremel with a wire wheel to get the clear and the paint layer off... dust musk at the least and safety glasses are a must

 

I played around with the old zxr250 this arvo. Then took it for a semi naked (the bike) strap to get fuel it's running worse lol. I can't figure out if the carb boots or the carb air breathers are leaking however that is now moot point....

As on the test track I forgot a roundabout was much sharper then it looks especially at night. So I went up the square gutter at about 30 under full brakes l, I didn't fall off Damage assessment tomorrow. It did feel alittle weird but held air. Should of known to take it easy seen I hadn't been on a bike for 3 weeks

 

Missed a parcel delivery today so went to pick it up from the courier after work. Turned out to be my chain & sprocket set for Scarlet:









Will probably be swapping her rear wheel back on and fitting them tomorrow

 

Fine choice in chain and sprockets, good quality

 

As long as you are OK.

 

Closest I could find to original without breaking the bank.

 

that is important

 

live and learn mate.. if you need a front wheel have C model wheel there...
