Shorter dogbones test ride - feels much better turning into corners now. :good:

Do you already have a 17" front wheel Al ? I found it too much with the 17" wheel and a 1" rear rise.
What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - alanfavell - 19-05-2018
STD front Fixitsan. I've no plans for a 17.
Â
I'm impressed that such a relatively minor change in geometry has so improved turn-in

Know what you mean. Compared to STD I find I can feel the bike steering around the tank mid-line.......or maybe I was still drunk from the night before....

Changed the fork oil.

Care to share the dimensions of the shorter, 1/2â rise, dogbones Favs? I wouldnât mind trying that mod out.

Put it all back together after having new fork seals and racetech springs fitted, feels like a different bike, rear shock is next although some adjustment helped a bit, might have to lay off the pies pizzas an eccles cakes again..

Made, fitted & tested today - 1x Dual Feed chain oiler.

I thrashed the ol' girl today on a glorious ride through the flatlands of Lincolnshire to Horncastle; but she still loves me and I love her. What a bike!
What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - alanfavell - 22-05-2018
A 12v programmable timer arrived, with which, along with a tiny PWM + 12v inline windscreen washer pump, I managed to prototype a chain-oiler. I hope to do away with the pretty poor vacuum/gravity Scottoiler.
I may need a non-return valve on the delivery side, More tomorrow.
What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - dablik - 23-05-2018
I reckon that will be an improvement matey :good:
What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - alanfavell - 23-05-2018
Yesterday's result are encouraging. I will be fastening it all to a board today - siphoning when idle check.
Â
If anyone is interested, costs so far in GBP:
Â
PWM 1.86 Ebay/Banggood
Pump 5.99 Eurocarparts
Timer 2.44 Banggood
My time = free2me
Inline NR valve is around 1.50 Ebay
If I go for a solenoid valve, then it would be another 5 - 6 quid
Â
More fiddling in the bikeshed today...........
Â
Â
UPDATE deffo siphons past pump. Solenoid valve from Banggood £3.53
What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - alanfavell - 23-05-2018
New rear pads fitted.

Made a hood for my bike Phone /Sat Nav mount
Â
Original case    https://www.holdersandmounts.co.uk/waterproof-samsung-galaxy-s5-scooter-moped-bike-mirror-mount.html
Â
Image of finished & fitted hood    http://www.carpe-tdm.net/ipb/index.php?app=gallery&image=2372
Â
Made from ProActiv marg tub, sprayed satin black and superglued to case.
Â
Bottom of hood has a slight gap and is not glued . This should allow any water to drain away.

good upcycling - i was thinking of the kind of clear container your chinese meal comes in - then you could pop the lid on and hopefully still see through it

Nice one Al, you sure you were'nt a Blue Peter presenter in a previous life and Father Christmas is going to offer you a job at this rate mateyÂ

Yeah I've been busy tinkering and fiddling in the shed to stave off the temptations of (£££) work - different offers of long term employment almost every week since January.
Â
Working for Scanty Draws, hmmm some of those elf girls from LOTR,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Â
FYIÂ I've never had a blue peter, much less presented it, you naughty young man. :punishment:
Â
Get your bike fettled while you have good weather Cliff. :good:

Was to take the old cow & my (new(ish)) wife to a track day - part of a driving skills course.Â
Â
Thought we were early - just to find ~200 plastic rockets ahead of us in the extreme summer heat.Â
Â
No track dayÂ
orry: but a nice long drive back home 
What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - bjorge - 25-05-2018
Tightened steering bearing - amazing what change a simple ~60 deg turn on those nuts make !Â
Also bought a new pair of lighter, more summer friendly boots :badgerrock: as it's now 27@C here... On way home hit reserve after 330kms, giving 4.2L/100km (or 67MPG in gibberish), I believe a top 10 in my ownership.
Â
Off to Portugal on tuesday for a 6 day MT-09 Tracer holiday :pimp: - and a few days to recover before going home.
My girlfriend on an MT-03, looking forward to test that one as well...
