Finished my race loom, bearing in mind I am to electrickery what Basil Fawlty is to customer relations I am pretty pleased with it, and myself.

My old loom was so butchered and chopped it was a nightmare to understand it, and I just knew that if it ever developed a fault I was going to be clueless to find it and solve it, so after a few nights studying a race loom diag I ordered all the bits, and then after last weekend ordered a load more bits as I was well short.

Finished it today, and with a bit of nerves put a battery in it and thumbed the starter, thankfully it turned over fine, didn't actually start it as the shock is away being serviced so the exhaust is off and the tank. but if it is turning over then it should start fine, if it doesn't then it cant be anything major in the wrong place.

I changed the brake fluid in the front of the NC as it hasn't been done since way back when.. The old stuff looked a bit yellow and tired so with some fresh stuff down it I'm happier. Can't say as it feels any much different but I'm glad it's done anyways. I have a new set of pads to go in but I'll wait till these are wrecked before I change them as the current set still have plenty of meat on them yet.. :mrgreen:

Try a few different positions and angles for a novel perspective....low down facing either way works well ;)

Nice one NGneer, will do, its just trying to find a nice dry day at this time of year, think its the wettest January since records began? By the way I treated myself to a new toy last year a 2006 MV Agusta F4 1000cc a bit like an NC30, nice handling, single sided swing arm but the power is insane, had to believe they are legal!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iELv8aLKq7E

Thanks Gazz! Would it make it worse if I told you that the evening track day cost 30 quid? ;oPPPP

Ouch! Now you are really rubbing it in! Evening session at Donnington used to cost £70ish but you could ride it few days after the Moto GP boys had been there and inspect the black lines up close.

Decided to take it for a very long run out on thurs to collect some eBay exhausts (for that nasty kawasaki GT) and the new rear shock I bought for the FJ. From Stoke to Newark / Coddington for the shock then onto Lincoln / Bardney for the cans all stuffed in my back pack! 377Kms round trip according to the NCs clock..

Great day, bit cold and the bag got pretty heavy on my back but the bike never missed a beat in typical Honda fashion.
