Didn't he trade some threats with neighbours a while ago?

hes alot in real life like he is on here, theres really no online persona BS with him, you get what you get, so yeah, he can rile people up a bit, but theres nobody hes had a go with that would be capable of this kinda thing. there are some known bike theives in the area, but cops cant prove it.

anyways, life goes on!

My next door neighbor and I go toe to toe alot same with the drink drivers over the road, but none of them have the capability of doing such a thing, the police have a main suspect, him and his brother were caught flogging stuff out this way a few weeks ago in a similar van that was spotted on Saturday night, they are also known bike thieves. Due to lack of evendence they havnt got anything to stick them to it though as the salt water has cleaned the bike up.

BUT

I did get help in making a VFR 400 Submarine of sorts..

Finished the brake upgrade

and yes, the fluid lower level mark is upside down, chinese manufacturing at its finest!

Works about as well as it used to though, pretty sure there is air in it somewhere, will crack all the joins again after a few rides and hope it comes out. Had to do some skid testing to make sure it worked all good, and then had to do a wee burnout to ensure there weren't any new flatspots

Master was 50bucks, line a bit under a hundy, I also got some HH pads for the front, and a master rebuild kit to go in once I sort the circlip out (M10M should have some pliers for me 2moro).

Bring it over for a wheelie?
I'll have a look at getting a master like yours, I don't like having my big ugly external res. Unless I can find one of those awesome tube ones.

Yeh man, (no wheelies though) if I can suss out the front brakes, will swing by 2moro arvo if you're home. EBC recommends a complicated bed in procedure for new pads on worn discs, so a bit of stop start riding along them straight roads on the way out to bunnythorpe sounds like a good plan.

Just bleed 'em proper mate

Couple of stoppies will sort 'er out.
Yeah, I'm always home

Installed HH pads and rebuilt the master, slightly better stopping, but still a big dead zone as the pistons seem to be retracting quite a bit. I think the disc's runout is a bit much and causing this. So time to start saving up for a new disc ($350) and some new piston seals for good measure ($43).
