BST carbon wheels, with green in the weave, on my H2 SX SE.



They make steering noticably lighter and quicker as you would expect.

Offt, that's a big one. I remember looking at these before for the Daytona and there wasn't much change from £3,000. Do you have a close up?

I found some close up pictures from my Alps trip last year:

You know me, I try to please.

Latest mod was probably the YSS PD valves on my cbf500. It already had hyperpro springs but the valves are a game changer. SO MUCH better feedback from the front end for only about £70. Easy to fit (you do need access to a pillar drill though) and easy to change the settings on.

The fruits of today’s labour.

Been meaning to fit this for ages, nice to get it done.
Sounds gorgeous.

Didn’t enjoy getting the cat to part company with the headers though, f**king horrid thing.

Hmm, pretty close to scrubbing off all the chicken strips, which is pretty impressive on the road!
Good job.

Our Maud has an RV200, which looked pretty uninspiring in black.

Being a Suzuki, it had obviously been used in the wet once, so the fasteners, spokes etc were all crusty.

Had the wheels rebuilt with stainless spokes, replaced most of the fasteners with stainless, fitted a centre stand, rebuilt the caliper and fitted a braided hose. Had the prop stand, gear lever and brake lever powder coated.

Then bought a second hand tank and had it painted yellow with decals from a 1975 TC125 to brighten it up a bit. And a new set of plastic mudguards in white instead of black.

I've ridden faster lawn mowers, but it's great fun and at least it looks a bit more cheerful now.

Bike looks nice.

Bet your missus was quite tidy back in the day too.

Only got myself to blame. Posting a pic on here with female content is rather inviting comment.

At least he didn't say she was a complete munter.

I think the comment was intended as a compliment although I suspect your Mrs may not read it that way!!!

[Biker's Nemesis]

She's well smart Pat.
