My one is off the road over winter at the moment.
She's also going to get the service, all fluids done and tappets.
Also going to touch up the black paint everywhere that needs doing, eg top triple clamp, mirrors, all that awesome Italian finish...

Been considering doing a tail tidy for her as well because that ugly rear guard is an eyesore on the otherwise gorgeous lines.
Any ideas?
Dangerous?

Must be "that" time of year

...Ive even been thinking about touching up the black paint to....& the silver lol
I have to get all the tappet cover bolts replaced and the heads rethreaded

....all thanks to the idiot previous owner, who locktighted them!....locktight...on a service point!

But on a good note:
Im gonna try riding again this weekend

....see if the shoulder will hold up after the "4x4 incident".....REALLY looking forward to it. (Not enjoying the car trips into work at all....stupid design!...to many wheels!)

Locktight the rocker cover bolts?? Sheezus !!

I've been careful with my rocker cover gaskets everytime I've pulled the cover off and never needed to replace them. They don't leak either.
Maybe after 5 years I should think about it though....
