Not a bad idea Chris, but dont think shoe polish is practical with the kind of material it is, worth asking the chap who recovered it  :good:

Well hopefully a wash should get rid of it as it's only a slight covering but, failing that can go with that suggestion, good idea cheers..

You don't need to recover. Get a tin of Vinyl Dye. I used it to change the colour on the grey Baglux cover I got from Big Dave to black and the result is amazing. It really looks like new. I bought a general purpose cleaner from them at the same time as recommended and then just followed the instructions. Their address is www.vinyldye.co.uk.

Mr mot man gave advisory on slightly dragging back brake, so a bit of investigation revealed the pistons are sticking a bit.  

So it will be a full caliper refurb with new seals, and titanium slider bolts.

A less than perfect mot :hide:  and it's done almost no miles since the last one, been kept covered in dry garage sprayed in ACF50  Huh

Slowly, gently, gradually pushed it out into sunlight.

Started and ran engine for 25 mins or so.

For a better outcome on next MOT, try spraying the bike instead....  Lol

Put refurbished rear caliper on yesterday plus new pads bled it all through  no issues ready for the first ride.

 

Went out to the freezing garage for the first ride in a long time today and she let me down with no turning over, just chattering her relay.  Confusedorry:   

Threatening it with a new one didn't work and charging it didn't have much effect either, it looks ok on no load, but under load it just drops the volts to about 9.7v.

 

Briefly considered trading her in for a BMW GS (sorry Ivan, but it was annoying) and thought better of it. :punishment:

 

The battery has gone west, so a new Yuasa is on it's way. Been in there about five years, so I can't complain. The day wasn't wasted, I spent time alternately polishing it and getting annoyed, as the sun was out.
