A lot of action on the bike front today....
Firstly, thanks to Terry Millichap for turning the wheels round so quickly. We now have freshly built wheels with the old hubs machined down and powder coated black and built up with stainless spokes.
Secondly, Dad has done a fine modification to lower the rear brake pedal and fit the new Talon footrests
This evening we have put the tyres on and dropped the wheels in, put some oil in and it has had its first run with the new exhaust on.
Of course it is too early to give a proper report but in the short run up and down the road it certainly runs quieter than with the old silencer and feels like it has lost none of its punch off the bottom end - all looks very promising and I plan to take it over the practice sections at the farm at some point over the weekend however first it needs a quick MOT so it's still with Dad as there is a classic bike friendly MOT station nearby!
