Getting there

Post by PBBoxer »

Got my Coated rocker covers back yesterday. Cleaned the insides up today and put them on.
Got the wheels too, but am waiting until next wekend to get some boots on them. Satin black covers and wheels now and have to say im really happy with the wheels, however te covers are a bit orange peeled. Also attempting to paint the rear light unit, but am fearful of awful results, wish me luck!

Started the bike up on the stand with the Akrapovic full system on (sans baffles and optional cat). Cor blimey, whoever said they sound rubbish didnt hear them with the baffles missing!

Cant wait to get back on the road with it, but I'm being patient. Have still yet to stick the hugger and rhino protectkit on, but really am pleased with the progress so far.

Would like to find some info on teh rapidBike box, but the site is all in foreign!
Will take some pics next weekend when teh bike is back together. Still need to get teh bearings back in and other bits n bobs.

So when we are in Wales next month we should be singing "whats that coming over the mountain?" as we hear you approach from afar!! :shock:

Maybe not that loud, more similar to leagl lasers on teh 11s, but somehow a smoother, deeper sound. All that matters is i like it hehe
