Howdy guys
Been a busy (and bloody expensive) week this week getting the RVF ready.
When I got the bike I noticed a few probs, firstly the brakes, while good feel not v.effective and the clutch lever not that clever but it had taken a scrape.
When I took fairing panels off to have a look around I saw missing engine bolts
so I thought fook it, and went over the bike and replaced a lot of stuff and added a bit of bling too, off top of me head this week I have done :
• New Honda brake pads
• New engine bolts (crash bung bolts missing)
• New tyga brake lever
• New tyga clutch lever & lever holder
• Fresh brake fluid
• Carbon tyga panel fairing infills
• Carbon tyga fuel cap protector
• Carbon tyga tacho surround
• Silkolene Pro Cool Blue Coolant change (brown water came out the rad!)
I also cut me a new HRC decal, not done one of these before but it looks great on the bike :

Oh I found a nice surprise too
I checked the rear shock to see if it needed cleaning or owt and to my surprise, I saw OHLINS
now am sure this is not just a sticker ? the rear shock looks fat as fook under there and the bike defo didnt come with that on as standard, many tell tale signs the bike has been on the track at some point, I dont mind so long as he's put good things on the bike
