I want the wheels black. I might have to figure out how to get them off myself.
I got the decals off ebay a year ago, as I originally planned to wrap the bike. I tried wrapping the front mudguard and quickly gave up.

Well spotted that man! I've re-fitted the nose cone tonight.

That's going to look rather smart when finished.

good looking AND modest
Doesn't look too bad for a rattle can job!!@tu* agree with Limpy about the wheels, when you going to ride it as it doesn't appear to have moved in months judging by how deep the side stand has settled into the ground!! :dunno:

Contrary to popular belief my bike moved yesterday. I had new tyres fitted Friday which were just about skinned on arrival! New chain supplied by Jaws and oil and filter change following it's MOT. I accidentally won a free track day at Snetterton and felt obliged to use it. :yo:

Still not done those wheels yet...

I finally fitted a phone holder today. All of the parts from buybits.com although I bought them through Amazon marketplace.

A 1" RAM mount, 12mm hexagon. This just pushes into the yoke hole and tightened up quickly with an allen key. I took the large plastic washer they supplied off and used a spare countersunk aluminium washer from my faring bolts.

A short arm.

And a waterproof phone case. This comes with plenty of foam layers to pack my Nexus 5 in tightly. I'm getting an LG G4 soon so this will fit better.

Under ?60 delivered for the lot. :yo:

I've also now removed the awful yoke protector. The remote trigger for my bullet cam is gone too, as I've stuck a 32GB card in the DVR for hours and hours of tedious footage.

Well, got to keep your strength up! I reckon if I fold my bacon sarnies in half they will fit in the pouch a treat.

Hmm not sure where then? I came in from the east end of the quay, pulled into the car park by Ark Royal to set my satnav up again and left towards Holkham.
Google decided going through Docking would be better so that was an adventure!
