Welcome aboard!

Welcome!

East Yorkshire DOC meets the 3rd Wednesday of each month at the Goodmanham Arms near Market Weighton, so a nice little bimble for you. Don't think many will be on two wheels until the weather improves though!

Welcome and enjoy. Especially so after running in :)

[Skid-Marc]

Hi Shutty, great choice of bike. I managed to post an image via ImgBB which is free and relatively easy to use, well it must be if I did it. All the best.

Welcome, and have you been out yet??? Mines tucked up in the garage wrapped up until the salt vanishes :)

[Shutty]

No ride yet, cant bring myself to put such a stunning bike in contact with that salt.

Been busy fitting Evotech guards and R&G bits

Finally ... thanks Mr Gazza every days a school day

Ditto..... As soon as 100yards of tarmac dries out, I'm out... It's bloody killing me having the new bike sat in the garage

Or fishing line.
Use a length to "saw" off the sticky pads holding the reflectors on.
Better than prising them off as it doesn't damage the finish on the fork leg.

Warming them with a hair dryer also helps as the glue becomes more pliable.

[Shutty]

Think i will wait for the sun to shine on them

[Jez900ie]

Do you think they will look better in the sunshine? LOL

[SteveG]

Dental floss and a touch of WD40 to lube the cut. Works even when cold... I did mine in a freezing December on Pedro guidance. Works a treat!

Ps. The adhesive is just on double sided thin foam tape.. not actually solid glue. If that makes sense.

[Shutty]

From the age 16-21 i spent every day peeling that foam **** off body mouldings as a panel beater.

An hr sat in the summer sun and they will come away nicely. I aint messing about cutting the foam and rubbing half the remaining foam off the strut with petrol or similar

All in hand its cool
