zxr TLC

[wilko]

what TLC is your bike getting this weekend? anyone fitting any new trick bits?
Fairings off and a good steam clean and a polish for my bike.

mine is getting well washed by the rain...knew i shouldnt have polished the frame...rain really makes it look bad with all the water marks

ordered some parts, HT leads and main jets, need a 8mm ring spanner, 17mm socket, 110+Nm torque wrench, clutch holding tool, clutch main nut and probably a full clutch rebuild kit...will have to wait until next payday and my 2 week vacation/bike maintenance

edit also need a soldering iron and some solder...gonna check out my coil pickup, generator and starter circuits, see if i can rectify my hot-start problem...plus giving an 18 year old bike an electrical makeover cant hurt, reminds me, need dielectric grease as well...stops the connectors from ingressing water and getting corroded in the first place...

edit again...also need black and gold caliper paint, gonna do calipers and rotors, also will do the clock holder and the fairing stay and a few bits like the rear footrests and footrest hanger...maybe get some silver paint as well and rubdown the rust off the subframe and paint that too...

im gonna get mine mot'd and taxed. then change the can so it doesnt sound like an asthmatic washing machine and go out on it (for the first time in 4 years!)

sounds like your going to be busy banner, got loads to do to mine but leaving the big stuff until winter to keep me busy, got a job list very much the same as yours. i have just got it back on the road after 2 years so cant get enough of it lol all i want to do is ride it. going to have a go at carbon wrapping a few bits i did it to my old b1h and it looked good.
tobomoto i know a nice can can set the bike off any idea what your going for ?
