First I Installed PC5 and coated the internal side of bash plate with the same stuff they use on car bases. I dont know how it's called in english, we call it "mastix". This stuff:

It is for supressing the hollow noise that the bash plate is reflecting from the engine. I dont know the results yet, as I haven't started the engine since i did it, it takes a while for this stuff to dry.


Btw I noticed that my otr 2-in1 pipe had burned the clutch cable's throat , so I need a new cable, also :(
I don't know how other people have routed their cables, so it wouldn't burn. It melted a bit on the engine side,too, because it touched some metal parts. But this is going off-topic already :P

Forgotten rim protector (and new tyres)
 

Removed the side stand as I wasn't using it.

Fitted Conti TKC80's to the Tenere. First tyre took three hours, second tyre took 30 mins and the third tyre... well, that only took twenty minutes. I can assure you that the air was blue when, as I packed all my tools up, I discovered a rim protector was missing. back into the tyre, and there it was. What a t***pot.

Here is a pic of my trick to break the bead on stiffer tyres like the Metzeler Tourances.

So, my long Buzetti tyre leaver in, then push the shorter Motion Pro lever between that and the rim with a short 3/8 socket extension under the lot and some serious welly.

It was one of these home made rim protectors that I forgot in the wheel. They are just lengths of hose cut down the middle.

[quote=Ni3ous;151082]Today there was lots of polishing on menu.
Ufff, hard work!

Close to the end. Just need to put some protection lack tomorrow and fit it on the bike. Get him one nice cleaning and then I am ready for the season!

This looks a great job ni3ous would you have a line drawing with dimensions so some of us can make our own template up.

fitted a part worn rear Diablo as the old rear was VERY squared off.
