New pads all round.
Broke the locating lug off the rear "insulator" 69132-06G00 whilst cleaning it.

Do the dealers stock/sell them separately or are theg going to bundle it with pads?

Yes fowlers parts lists it individually @£16.99.

Or, as a Yorkshireman would say, " 'Ow much?????"

MOT - My 11th one I think. All good.

Point to remember for next year though, I need to take some money with me to pay for an MOT. Queue the expensive £15 Taxi trip home and back to get the Bank Card to pay for the MOT and the Taxi.

Lovely looking exhaust I bet it sounds nice ?

Thanks and yes it does. Especially with the baffle out.

It does look good I must say, the rest of the bike looks nicely sorted too ????
But you need some Solvol Autosol on those front pipes

Thanks, it is sorted.
Unfortunately Solvol won't change the colour to chrome to match the rest of the Delkavic system. And for your info, there is only one pipe. I have tried to shine it up but it is a dark colour. It doesn't look too bad and there is no rust anywhere on my bike so it will do.

You could try that Harpic Max Power 10 trick to brighten up the front of the exhaust...

I gave the bike a good clean and reapplied a good dose of ACF50 & ACF50 Corrosion Block (enough to part the sea if I go anywhere near the coast). Given the weather is getting chilly & it's October tomorrow I figured it won't be long before the gritters are out

I then had a nice little exploration of back roads around North Yorkshire.

Took it to waddington for a full breakfast, then we had a bimble up to Settle, Grassington, Otley Bridge and Masham. Cold and dark when we got back but a good autumnal day out

Decided to take the Strom on a little ride out to another country yesterday morning, all good fun

Did a trip down West Cork/Kerry area during the week.......

Most of the pics were taken from the saddle.

Film buffs might recognise the rocks.......

Finally got round to fitting some hand guards, hope they help keep my hands a bit warmer for my early morning starts

Went to the yondermann cafe for a late breakfast, then a ride to ladybower reservoir.
A couple of bikes at the yondermmans. I've never seen ladybower's water level so low before.

Comstar wheels!

Graham62 · « **Reply #8618 on:** October 04, 2018, 19:50:53 »

I thought you would like that Mr D. I almost got one before I got the Wee.

wurzel · « **Reply #8619 on:** October 04, 2018, 20:01:10 »

I would love one, but too many bikes already...
