Quote:Question re screen trim... Is this for appearance only or does it do anything? I didn't bother to put on the trim that came with our Madstad screen but wondered if I should.

Completely up to you really.Not sure of the purpose other than a trim finish opportunity I will probably put mine on as I reckon it just finishes it off nicely [ and it would help a little if I fall over in the garage and headbut the top of the screen ] as you do.

 

I had another double bubble screen that i fitted to a ZXR750 and that had a sharp edge - so the rubber went on that one.

 

I guess it is nice to have the choice?

the purpose of the trim is if you had a accident you don't cut your throat on the sharp edge.

Good looking MRA screen :-)

I did use the trim on mine, don't like the idea of getting a cut throat.

Thanks Blue. One doesn't need a better reason. Smile

Yeah, I've done the IAM. And yeah, I recommend it (any so-called 'advanced training' come to that; not just IAM): A low cost training course based on the system used by the police, which is largely common sense once pointed out, making one smoother, quicker and safer. What's not to like? And why would one not want to tell others?  :hide:

Rebuilt rear caliper, reinstalled with braided stainless steel brake line, bled, tested, rode!

 

cut a windshield extension from sheet of acrylic, test fit, test rode it

it's ok, probably a prototype

would like to use thicker stock on 2nd try

but it works

attached it to the Laminar Lip on stock windshield

 

found out this is en route from supplier:

Two pistons, two set of rings, .5mm O/S

and an OEM right side mirror

(had found the left mirror on ebay)

I've still got the handguards on under them which give a bit of support and keep the shape but the Oxford ones are pretty sharp looking and well made in my opinion..

2nd oversize pistons and rings for a 92 850

not in a hurry to do a top end but want to make sure I've got everything I need

no idea how long these might be available so I grabbed a set now

Well, more anti-wind/anti-thief...But will probably be like that for two or three months so, if we get snow, could be winter storage.

Got a mess from a riding buddy in our local mc club the other day asking if I could help break his old chain and rivet a new chain to his bike, so I did last night.

What do you guys think, was it premature to replace his front sprocket? You can still se evidence of cogs on it, not sure if it's still possible to count how many...  Smile

That grinding sound when he drove into my garage... I can tell you the old chain wasn't pretty either.
