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:

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.
