6 years of evolution, pic of clean,mods

Post by pod »

Hello folks,

Just pampered the bike with a toothbrush clean ,polished pipe, new oil and stickers.

Repaired and painted fork bottom

Also changed the Scot oiler delivery to a trailing block, much better than the dripper at the gearbox sprocket, rear wavy disc holding up well.
Cheers

Stay calm.

Yup baglux, the yellow is a bit darker, I prefer it.
Just went round Glen Coe at the magic hour, stopped at the Falls of Orchy and took pics of the potholes. Through the glen ,hardly any motors 1 bus 2 cyclists and about 6 tourists, sun setting in the West , brooding paps , ahem, and a clear run from Kentallen to Barcaldine .Got the bends at Achnacloich around dusk , with no lights coming the other way.Bike running well, killed a few midges . A good May night out in the Highlands.
Cheers Pod
Stay calm.
