...made the most of the freaky weather at the moment. We should be 1-2 meters under snow here, but had the wamest Feb 15th on record this weekend, so instead of getting my skis out I fitted my new battery and did over 200Km on dry roads through the Alps in sunshine and blue skies.



Crap skiing - but a good day

nice rads.
you need an ABBA stand mate, they make jobs like this a doddle. how are the others getting on with their 400's ? not been on there for a couple of weeks now since it all got a bit political and run by fuckwits.

I've been doing a big load of fuck all with mine, not had any time really but once it warms up a bit and stays a bit lighter at night I'll start back on it. Got myself a vfr800 vtec though instead of the cbr600 :)

have you ? fair play that cbr didnt last long. to be fair the VFR is a much better bike than the early CBR6.
you enjoying it ?

Havent had a chance for a proper play yet but as soon as I test rode it, it was the end of the line for the cbr.
The cbr was meant to be my track/fun bike but the nc30 will.do that job so the 800 is more of a do it all bike for trips away and a bit of commuting etc.
Need to get out on a ride soon though and catch up

Fitted rear exhaust heat shield..



Supplied by Skinnydog 0_0 very cheaply and promptly! Many thanks to him!

for some reason the site is not letting me upload piks or not giving me the option too

any hoot im happy

Got round to swapping my front forks over so took the ones that came with the bike off ( later type but slightly pitted stanchions and needing new seals) and fitted the overhauled ones I bought.
Also gave all the brakes a good clean and checked replaced pads as needed, fitted the new chain too. ( did the soft link rivets with my home made tool)
Are split links ok to use on the 400's or does it have to be a riveted soft link?

Hhmm.wouldnt use a split link..
