Steamin'...!

After working through the night on Saturday night, I mustered the energy to do some (easy) work on the bike - I soaked the Exhaust Wrap and took the pipes off - a little while later I had some neatly wrapped exhaust pipes! I hope they do a good job, because I have left the metal heat shields off (would have looked too fat with them on), and the pipe is right on my ankle....we'll see when I can finally ride it I suppose!

Just a little more...

Spent some time on the bike on Sunday - the indicators are now mounted properly - the wiring was a bit of a pain - not looking forward to doing it again after everything is painted...at least I'll have done it all before I guess!

I have been continuing to cut and grind away the seat bracket (and the fender mounting bracket) to stop the two hitting each other over big bumps - it's driving me mad, because I have cut away all that I can (without bringing the structural stability into question!), and it still hits - not much, but it hits! My last resort is to stiffen the suspension - the current (stock) spring preload setting on the spring/mono shock absorber is the lowest (softest), so I will try adjusting it and hopefully I can get rid of the issue without making the bike too stiff.
