The dogs' Hornet mods

[Zapf]

Went for a longer ride on the Gixxer 750 in the weekend and realised how much I like the Hornets friendly riding position so may be keeping the Hornet a little while longer yet.

But there are always other options out there, did someone say Speed Tripple

No worries with the bar ends TA. Not much more blinging left to do now (tui)

Ever thought dropping a CBR954 motor into the Hornet? I thought it will go really well Or have a ride on a CBR954 :P

Swap the engine, that's a mod I had not thought of

Don't see many 954s around, but if I do see one I will give it a try.

Ah, Mr Kendog sir... Ah, if you *cough* might end up contemplating maybe *mumble* moving on to another machine soon... do you think it'd, um, be possible to, err, donate your Hornet to a worthy and err... Deviant cause?

Ahem, sorry about that, not sure what came over me... In other words, love your bike, love your work... do you know how much would you might ask for it?! You know, going to another caring and up-and-coming KBer and all that...

There have been murmers around these parts that I may be looking for another bike, I will PM you after work today.

did you flashing problems with the indicators?

*waits for the silly jokes*

[TerminalAddict]

indicators purchased at lunch time

something to play with tonight

[limbimtimwim]

Oh no. More faulty Hornet blinkers...

They all say "Yeah, I'll fix that one day.."

[TerminalAddict]

couple of questions:

1. how do the front indicators come off?
2. what have you done with the mount brack being a different shape? perhaps a rubber boot type thing?

If you got the Oxfords, there is an adapter set you can buy as well that makes them line up with the stock holes.

To remove the front ones you need to get in the back. Not much room there but its a little easier when the headlight is removed.

You know, all the prettying up you do wont mean much with that half zimmer frame hanging off the back. lol


Looks good mate.

So far (touch wood) I haven't had any ground clearance issues,.... as for grinding pegs, I'm not that good of a rider (yet), but hopefully it won't be too much of an issue.

Ok, I lied, it's starting to become an issue, especially if the road camber is a certain way, don't think it has too much to do with my improving riding though, more like I need to stop eating bloody easter eggs!!!

Or maybe adjust your rear shock?

It'll only be one 'dog displaying Hornet mods now! And depending on how green she becomes looking at a Suzuki (*Gasp!*), it might not be around for that long either! The end of an era.

I still think he should have given his old Hornet to me...

hehe, nup, I'M KEEPING MY HORNET!! And I haven't got many more mods I want to do, so it could be a bit quiet.
Funny though, he says to me this morning "Do you want me to leave you my bike to go for a ride on today?" I'm sure it's because it was raining and he didn't want his bike getting wet, the cheek of it!
I should have a play with the shock, I'll just mark where he set it up for me before I start stuffing about with it. (Honestly I actually haven't put on any weight since the shock was put in, I just feel like a blimp cause it's getting colder! so maybe I am getting better, might have to start thrashing the K7 about!)
