finally finished fitting up the new rear brake set up and disc

really pleased with the 'look', it bled up really easily, swapped the rear brake lever for a corse style one from Bungi, and even had enuff time to fit the DP foam race seat pad before we headed over to Doogalman & Florences BBQ

Hopefully the sun will be out again tomorrow and I can go and test it out :)

31st Dec 2007

so thanks to Doogalman .......I didn't just finish up 2007 building Ikea furniture

We managed, not without with some gnashing of teeth & a couple of bolts made of 'formaggio' to fit my Magnesium headlamp casing

very nice it looks too !

I even made up the carbon mirrors later

So here's to my New Years resolution of fitting the stuff I've bought instead of just keeping it in boxes

Oh yeah, and getting out and riding more in '08

cheers Doog's !!

'Felice Anno Nuovo' to one and all !

Sharpy,

How long did it take you to fit the Magnesium Headlight bucket? Can you re use the bolts from the standard housing? I have the bucket just waiting to get some time off to fit it!

A lot longer than we thought ! LOL
You can use the original bolts, if you can get them out without them rounding off as they are made of cheese !!!!

Couple of hours I think in the end, ACF50 it before you put it on, inside and out to avoid corrosion too ;)

Did your housing come in two pieces? can you fit one side at a time?

Latest updates, now fitted both the Gold Forged Mag wheels, the new sprockets/gearing and gold x-ring chain, and at the weekend the newly painted nosecone, screen, carbon seat and mirror cowels, to job by Altamura in Farnboro', very pleased with the finish and all the little detail touches :D

do you get Eco Points for using that much carbon. Maybe you can swap them with a coal plant or something.

BTW, are you going to tell us how much this set you back (may have missed that as I jumped to page 51 right away).

Nice looking, very light on the bling.

LOL :D

I'm not paying carbon offset that's for sure ! ;)

No, I'm not saying what it all cost, because if I sat down an worked it all out I'd probably give myself a heart attack LOL

but I did get good deals on most of the stuff I've done ;)

thanks for the comp. tho'
