what have you done to your bike today??

Is that silicon bronze tig or oxyfuel welded?
Only recently started using it at work and wish I'd tried it years ago.

New set of k60's purchased, fitting next Saturday, should be fun.

It was silicon bronze tig, but to be honest the filler wire was to big for the job it was starting to burn the
zinc plating off the tube

Nice job though mate (thumbs)

Today I installed Hagon springs in my BMW F650 Funduro. They feel really good and have given my 15 year old bike a new lease of life.

Fitted some Renthal bars, Some pointy mirrors, new grips and some nice red anodized levers. I also found one of my throttle cables has snapped and looks like it has been snapped for some time so that is another thing added to the to do list

old ugly stuff



New decent stuff

Well, got them both out and run them for a bit as they aren't getting used

Then I stripped all the plastics off the KLX which made it look well cool B)

Polished them all up. Vacant space, there were some pretty deep scratches on them so I lightly sanded them down, then rubbed with a Stanley blade which got them perfect. Then on the white bits I gently sprayed some Halfords lacquer and on green bits just used WD40 which worked a lot better than the plastic polish that I spent actual money on

Finally I fixed the helmet lock which had grit in it.

tapped to can bus and run feed to relay so now got powerpoint switchable with ignition for anything I want. so added auxiliary lights and USB charging point. changed screen to MRA and fabricated simple phone/gps holder. also changed bash plate from standard plastic one to mottorad aluminium. well happy with result.

Thanks Brenhden! There was me thinking that TCut / wet 'n dry may be a bit harsh - so now, that 'n WD40 it is

My plastics are a bit mingin' close up, and various unctions and solutions haven't really worked... Time to treat the plastic a bit more like I treat my metal (thumbs)
