Shake-down success

#1 Post by old git » Sat Dec 10, 2011 5:41 pm

So, after a couple of months spanner twirling, managed to get the old girl out earlier this afternoon for an hour to make sure nothing rattled loose.
So work completed:
New 'pie-man' Ohlins shock spring by Revs
Complete overhall & polish of the Ohlins by Revs
Re-paint of the triangles
New clutch slave seal
Clutch slave body mirror polished
New front pads
Airbox mods
Polished up the hangers, cans & footpegs
New Smoked Screen
major wash & polish
Only been about 10 weeks since I last had her out, but hey it seemed so good to be back round the roads again :smt007
Got the day off on Tuesday so praying for more good weather, looks like I may have a run up country if it is.

After Cameron's own interpretation of entente cordiale, that will be Junkers Saturday and Heinkel Sunday....


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Getting back to the point...

How were your newly-sprung suspenders, OG? Did you Get it on with some Solid gold easy action?

Sorry - don't know what came over me there. Completely out of nowhere I had a bit of a T Rex moment...

How very dare you!
You should have realised that after a good shakedown, all my equipment is in perfect working order.
Reminds me, I need some new rubber..........

Leave the suspenders to mrs OG, her springs are still working extreamly well (for her age!) Thank-you.
New leathers look quite good on her as well, early Xmas present (not sure it the present was for her or for me really :smt002 )
