Refitted some minor paintwork repairs &.decided to remove engine bars for a repaint and colour match, (unless I paint them Italian sports car red). Wingrack could do with painting too hmmm

Replaced the battery. Added a strap to make it easier to get out next time.  

Washed it, then waxed it, then rode it to re-coat it with dead bugs

<p style="text-align:center;">Ohlins, PC3, fuel cut defeat, +4deg timing, 17" front wheel.
Collected a shiny new MOT. No advisories.

The best thing about being old is we did all our stupid stuff before the Internet was invented, so there’s no proof.
Went for a quick bimble from Salisbury to West Bay, via Hardy's Monument and West Bexington.

Fuel Cans, Baglux tank cover, Givi E21 panniers, Givi Flow top box, Yamaha centre stand, Garmin Zumo SatNav,, Givi engine bars, Barkbuster S1 handguards, Powerbronze Fender Extender and Headlight guards.

Made a good job of burying the factory to leave the chimney poking out as nice as that :good:

 

Refitted newly painted engine bars and also fitted new F Loud horn after the existing F Loud horn packed in.(Amazon Stebel Nautilus copy for £11 went to buy a second but suddenly £20) .

I haven't ridden mine for a few months but I did install a small deflector. Hopefully it helps a bit on the freeway.

Is it just me or is that monument a bit errr, phallic?

They do 👍
new fork stanchions - ready for MOT - take it out garage for check over form MOT tomorrow and fuel pishing out of pipe from pump to carburettor - only 18 months old and rotted - new stuff click and collect from Halfords - 6mm but will drill out ends to 7mm - wall is heavy enough

 

will post on MOT success or failure
TDM 1991 - two into one micron mated with a A16 Road and Race Supplies Stainless short can - Conti Road Attacks - Kagazume Wavy Rear Disc - Bagster tank cover - homemade sheepskin seat cover on top of custom seat cover - NonFango topbox on homemade mount - custom fusebox - very loud airhorn and cyclone alarm

Rubber just ain't the rubber it used to be, A few years back we were fitting ball joints and the rubber gaiters were in bits before the following year.

Talking of which, has anyone got a supplier of good quality single skinned petrol pipe for motorbikes? I've been working on a few oldies lately, gt125 and a Rd125 and could use some like the original.

2002 TDM900 Yellow
Replaced sprockets and chain (JT)

Replaced worn out front wheel bearings

Prep'd and painted the engine with anthracite high temp paint

Fitted foldable black anodised levers with adjusters and Logo

Fitted heated intelligent grips (the latest ones) which go immediately to red when you turn 'em on. Stupid idea in my opinion but that's how they come

Fitted double bubble screen 

Fitted new centre stand

Serviced the CSM and tuned the mixture and idle. Very nice now

Fixed two really bad electrical connector issues on the fuel pump and ignition circuit

Fitted mirror extenders

Installed front USB jack & phone holder

Put on R/H fairing decals which were missing after repair & respray

Fitted TDM logo wheel rim decals

New aftermarket FORCE carbon cans delivered (now I need to get the intermediate pipes made up for them)

Sent back the wrong bellypan to Motea who sent me one for BMW 900 - duh!

Ordered a Top Sellerie custom gel seat (arriving end of June)

 

All in all, a fair bit of work in the two weeks I've had the bike but it'll be worth it methinks!
Gone camping on it with SR n Dablik
