What to do to my bike...?

[LewSpeight]

So, I had planned to ride my bike today, all day.
As a result of this great weather the UK seems to be getting alately, that now isn't an option.
So what can I do to my bike? Nothing majorly messy, and I'm not all the mechanically sound on the Sv yet. But I want to tidy my bike up abit.

Any ideas?

tail tidy, new end can, stubby levers or double bubble screen?? :)

Already have the tail tidy, and stubby levers, it's a nekkid so no screen for me :( (even though I would love to convert it a faired one)
I'm looking into a new can, cos the carbon fibre one on at the minute looks shagged.
Thanks for the input though!
Any ideas on what little subtle things that could be done today whilst I have the day off? I was thinking of properly washing it but that's not an option because looking this weather and my commute tomorrow will make it look like a shipwreck again

[Griff-SV]

Cool, no worries :)

Not that you could do it today but the chain guards from pyramid plastics look quite smart, worth a look :)

Like you said not really worth a full clean/polish as you are off into the sh*t weather again tomorrow!

[granty92]

new grips :)

[LewSpeight]

TODAY! Haha.
I need something to do today, not really bothered about putting new bits on, maybe just some general maintenance or something. I'm even considering sticker bombing half of it, that's how bored I really am

Get plenty of ACF50 and apply it liberally.
When ( if ) the snow goes, there'll be stacks of salt until the monsoons arrive and you dont want it going rusty do you?

Aye. Someone else said that, can I get it from halfrauds?

[granty92]

I may well do! ;)
Gunna see if I can find my massive box of stickers somewhere

[Griff-SV]

Make sure you have plenty of racing spec stickers ;)

[LewSpeight]

Haha. They're all random stickers from apple logos to Ngk spark plugs...

Surely though, any sticker I put on my bike will add extra horse power???? *chuckles*

[Griff-SV]

As far as I am aware adding sitckers is THE way to increase bhp. Plus you need a 46 sticker so people will definately think you are Rossi :P haha

46?

Nah, was just gunna get the 'The Doctor' sticker for the back of my helmet ;)

[Griff-SV]

Yeah 46 is his number :)

[LewSpeight]

I know :)
I could sticker bomb it with purely just '46's? Lok

[Griff-SV]

If you did that I would be incredibly jealous! :p

[granty92]

No one would even think to challenge you, especially if it says the doctor on your helmet!

[LewSpeight]

Ah ha! Nobody challenges me anyway, I don't know whether it's to do with my sanity, my immense guns (lol) or because nobody ever can be a*sed

If you did that I would be incredibly jealous! :p

*rubs hands together*
Let me see what I can do.. Muwahahaha


Okay I'll leave.

[Griff-SV]

There is no way anyone will be able to compete against you now!

Everyone go hang up your leathers!

[LewSpeight]

*victory dance*

[granty92]

Haha pedrosa, Lorenzo, Rossi have absolutely nothing on you!!

[LewSpeight]

I am afraid I have let you a down. Tried getting the bike out of the garage, managed 5 ft and slid back down into the garage.
*hangs head in shame*

[Griff-SV]

So no gain in bhp just yet? *sigh*

haha :)

[LewSpeight]

haha :)

Yep. So much I gain I just couldn't keep the power down.. Just burnt through 3 rear tyres in 20 minutes.

*sigh*

[Griff-SV]

Damn those apple logo stickers really do have some kick to them! :)

Could be that, or this immense addition...

[granty92]

Oh gosh I think we have a badass rebel over here ^

[Griff-SV]

That might just be the best mod I could put on my bike now.

Oh, just done a quote and the insurers won't allow it. Its too much of a performance upgrade. :(

That was a mighty fast quote. You got tassles coming out of your ears too?

Can you not do a coverup on your tank (like you do with tattoo's) with vinyl graphics, if you follow what i mean, somthing like below cut and placed well could be tidy?
