Do them there rotors make it stop better?
I thought the last ones were pretty good or was it another Saturday morning visit to your local "special" mezanine and just couldn't resist.   

Hard to tell right now as they have been barely used so far. Probably no different to the originals for my riding these days but my old gold disks felt like there was a slight warp in them.  Not from the mezanine of opportunity Matty, Evolution in Italy. Will get my old ones checked out then flog them i guess. My "mechanic" fitted them for me, payback time there one day down the track

Fitted Brembo T Drive disk rotors the other day well, Paul did



Then today, A Greek bearing gifts arrived at my doorstep.......  Wobbart made me a lovely pair of axle sliders...   



Please bear in mind that both of these are safety items..............       

Just my 2cents worth , the problem with billet axel slider although pretty, if god forbid you have a get off they tend to grab the tar rather tar slide, thus causing more damage than what would normally be prevented by acetal sliders . I’ve seen many bent forks caused from these types of sliders just from a slow get off.

Pity you couldn't get them in red and had to settle for the orange.
Jees... how many colours is that now? 

Hey  Wellsy watcha think

The red is me, will match the  Tricolore nicely

Then Doc, if you see me in a precarious position this weekend i will expect you to launch yourself under my front forks to protect them         
input noted and appreciated all the same.....

Robs NEW theme

Nice Rob!
Must be a funny thing to go from the all black to the colourful world.

I thought you would have gone for the "safety" helmet.

Finished the install of the S4RS ohlins rear shock, resprung to suit my weight. Took the opportunity to also get rid of the cannister under the seat. Made up a nice adapter plate from 3mm aluminium and mounted the regulator and rear coil to the adapter.  Next step is to re-assemble the upgraded Showa adjustable forks and fit them before the next track day.

Bought a new can of Mister Sheen.  Haven't used it yet though. 

Dropped my bike off for a major service. The first thing the mechanic says is "see that?", pointing to the bottom of my front forks, "I want that for my racer project". He wanted to swap his ohlins for mine. I didn't know the difference but said "no, I prefer the look of mine". How am I supposed to trust him now. Grr

Sounds dodgy alright!

Put a few marks on your forks, like a few nicks or scrapes and make sure you take pictures of them.

GK

At a guess i'd say D'Moto......  and if so, it would be Shaun and his dry sense of humour i bet.

Amazing how when you ride your bike nearly everyday you unconciously compensate for wear and tear!! Particularly on the suspension! 

I installed some new fork springs and fork oil on the 750 and bugger me what a difference! 

Now to save the Pesos and get rid of that bloody Sachs on the arse end! And of course new rubber!!

hahah yep, they're good guys. its just some things they say  
like he said he couldve changed it without me even knowing. It was good of him to ask.

i just cant wait to get it back with the lower ride height  
it should be easier on my wrists too

Oh and forgot to mention a full set of Goodrich brake and clutch lines!! The old rubberies were a bit sad!!  

Mucho betterer!!

Still looks like a scungy 90,000k plus bike but its working well!!
