Re: What have you tinkered with today?
Finally put a new tank on my bike. Only bought it 2 years ago (ish) from 21Quest (Ben). Old one had more scuffs and a blob of epoxy at the lowest point on the left due to it rusting through. In 2009.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
Put new bearings in the wheels.
The sprocket carrier has a bigger bearing (around 65mm) and I didn't have a socket big enough to lay on top to tap in. Bought a cheapo bearing installer set from Amazon (cheaper than a socket that size) and it took seconds to get the bearing and seal in. Well pleased.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
I might have to do something similar with mine, even with the extenders I still have to move my head to get a decent view of anything other than my shoulders.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
i use K5 bandit s mirrors as well as the extenders. i like it as it brings the mirrors more into my line of vision. can still see my shoulders though.
