Spent 6 hours washing and polishing the Africa Twin after two weeks of wet, dirt filled roads made it look like I'd been to Siberia.
Now all shiney and greased up! :whistle:

Iridium plugs for the VX800 and XF650. 2 minute job on the XF but spent an hour on the VX cos the cap rubbers were burnt/glued to the deep deep recesses. What a pain! :blink:

Found some 10 mm dia tube, bashed it into shape
Bronze welded some feet on it
Melted a bit of powder on it
Bolted it on to the top of my top box, thought it will be handy for my wet gear (thumbs)

Put it's scarf on, packed it's sarnies and rode it in for MOT tomorrow...
Miss it already
Guess I'll either be pleasantly surprised / unpleasantly horrified, or somewhere in between tomorrow... :unsure:

*Changed the pegs on the @ to wider and shorter.
*Stripped the front callipers to clean and check everything was working.
*Stripped the oil reservoir off the BSA B31 and gave the internal a good clean with gunk and water ready to try to get her started after some time of just sitting in my garage.
Been a nice day just getting those jobs you keep putting off for one reason or another done.

Found a queak and rattle from the front end on my K100 that i cannot find the source of.
It's only there while i am doing over 20 mph...finding it will be hard.
