What Have You Done To Your Bike Lately?

Take one set of Ohlins forks, sprinkle with a refresh, respring, add the latest superbike valve kit, shake, and apply. :) :D



Much kudos my local friends and Riders Choice for the work in progress. A great help and I couldn't have done it without you.

I spent much time talking to the Ohlins NA guru and RC51 guru, local Ohlins suspension mechanic experts, and working with professionals at all levels. Learned a lot and am set up well. It's a small tight scene but cool and open.

I just went & picked up my plastics from the paint shop, they did an amazing job so I spent some time now putting it all together to get put back on the bike...I can't wait until next spring to start riding!

Here the custom LED signals that I got built & installed by MPS...they are much brighter than the previous ones that were in there...so now people can see me turn during the day!

I don't think you have enough Ducati stickers. Add some to the rims since they don't make tires.
 
Put some fresh carb boots on my 86 FZ600, and replaced one of the diaphragms in the carbs that wasn't holding vacuum. Then I put the cover back on and cried because it's winter.

The old boots, can't believe the previous owner re-used these....

That's one way (the wrong way) to stop a leaky carb boot. :0

Gotta leak, repair things the proper way. I've seen lots of 2 stroke guys do the same thing on the intake boots.

Yeah for the cost of the parts ($60) - and the amount of time and swearing it takes to get the thing apart and back together you'd figure people would just do it right but no.....
