The force is strong with this one.  Woodcraft...  Rizoma...  Where will it end?

took off the passenger pegs, put bar end mirrors on, took off the windshield and put on the instrument panel cover,  looked at it and smiled

Hi. I’m Troy McClure. You may remember me from such self-help tapes as “Smoke Yourself Thin” and “Get Some Confidence, Stupid!”

Does clicking the 'Order' button on a set of SC Project slip-on's count?

Not until they're fitted.

And they're not considered fitted until we on the DML can verify it via posted pics.

You greatly underestimate the amount of overconfidence I have.

Any bets on the postage time of a package from Italy!?  I won't hold my breath.

They the Rizoma Dynamic mirrors? I have been looking at getting a set of these. Can I ask where you got them and how much?

Yup.  After looking around on the net, we ended up buying them from MCAS in Auburn, for $99 each.  The adapter end thingies were an extra $15 each.

When I put my clipons on, I had to file back the mounts a little to stop them from hitting the tank.  I put a little black paint on the filed bits, but it's been bugging me every since.

So I acquired some sulphuric acid, and bought some sodium hydroxide (from the supermarket!) and a few colours of anodising dyes (black, blue, and red) from Caswell plating.

I've borrowed a nice constant current lab power supply from work, and am getting ready to redo the anodising on my clipons.  While I'm at it, I'll also refresh the caps on the top of my 998 Showas (red) and the damping adjusters (blue).

Thus far, I sanded my filed bits nice and smooth, rounded the edges to match the other surfaces, and then chucked the clipon mounts into a bath of sodium hydroxide (a couple of tablespoons in half a litre of water) for a few minutes to strip off the existing anodising.



On the weekend, I'll set up an anodising bath...

Here's what the existing fork tops look like (rather faded):

Cool. DIY anodising.

It's amazing what people can do from home.

Moved them in and out of the shed again ... maybe we can take them out tonight (well a couple anyway).
