Sun is shining so she's out. Newly rebuilt rear calliper and black screen fitted. Looking gorgeous with her sunnies on!

Worked out how to use the front lift bars for the Abba stand (They've been sitting unopened in the box for the last few months). Then fitted front fender extender (actually took the last couple of days waiting for adhesive sealant to go off) and mirror extender blocks. Ordered breaker bar for removing slightly stuck brake caliper bolts. New air filter already in. Rear brake pads arrived ready to fit. Possibly overhauling the caliper and maybe fronts too as they appear to be dragging a bit now.

Checked and re-copper greased front and rear Brake caliper pins and bolts and checked pad wear etc.Also fitted some Fatter Gel Grips for comfort/anti-vibration.

Set up my new desktop pc. You forget how long it takes to copy all the files across.

Fixed a broken fence post. My least favourite job. Investment in an SDS drive makes life a lot easier.

That's why all my files are on network drives with cloud backup - instant access and everything backed up automatically at 1am.
A new PC is almost ready from the box.

Fitted a new pair of shorties today. Amazing value at £14!

Over the last couple of days I've pulled the fork legs out and replaced the oil seals. Just waiting for new dust seals to arrive now. The old seals were all really scabby, and the fork lowers needed some cleaning up. I used a smear of red rubber grease over the tops of the seals and seal clips once they were in, to try and keep the crap out.
New tyres, Diablo Stradas went on last Thursday. I've got new brake pads to be fitted now so I'll take the calipers off and pop the pistons out for a clean up tomorrow once I've bought some more brake fluid and brake cleaner.

Gave my old helmet a good clean (stop sniggering). Washed in the bath with the use of a shower head. Used Johnson baby shampoo as this won't attack glue or foam. It's amazing how much dirt comes out. Now drying naturally.
