Looks great, I still really like the white and whilst all my fellow work colleagues and family like my Corse panels, I sill want to change to white at some time in the future Cobra, got your pm earlier so lets look to swap sometime next year maybe when we both feel like a change???

How do you get a UKMOC sticker ?? I WANT

Looks great mate.Might start to steal some ideas

What have you done with your red panels??

You clutch fluid is the same colour as mine, is this normal? Looks like it needs changing !

I have changed it every 1000 miles and it turns dark in about 2 weeks
All my V twins with Hydraulic clutches have always turned the fluid dirty really fast.
I guess it's because the clutch fluid get hot from the slave cylinder being on the generator casing.

Not really anything to worry about.

How easy is it to change? I am looking to do mine. Might be best trying to find a workshop manual.

Speed bleeders! They're a godsend!

More fiddling

Ohlins Forks from 1100S (took me a year to find a set) eBay Germany

1198 Discs 330mm with 5 mm caliper spacers.
(S uses 15mm offset discs) evo is 10mm

so you need 5 mm disc spacers or 848-1199 discs.

Just waiting on caliper spacers to arrive.

next are some forged wheels (secondhand)

wow thats beautiful

Albie · 03-12-2013, 04:37 PM

It sure is nice, I also like the handles for pillion. They actually blend nicely. Needed a good pic for the calendar too but not with garden chairs lol

Hi Albie

When wheels are on i will take some pics at other end of garden.

The handles work really well as my GF is 5,11" and hated the grips under the tail
She likes the DP ones.

They dont look too bad on either
Although pegs are still off at the moment as i did a Brands evening a few weeks ago

Anyone found any good S fork settings as the std 8 comp and 12 rebound feels harsh
Think the oil level is too high too.

Calendars obviously done now but yours is a very nice Hybrid EVO/S. I will probably keep mine now although I am still smitten by the m1200S still. In fairness I have a very nice package and maybe will treat her to some goodies and contemplate my bikes I have to where I go next. Maybe still that Norton and sell the TT500. Want an evo exhaust though from the headers to first join.

03-12-2013, 05:32 PM

Yep i'm with you on the Norton �� (would sell a kidney for that!)

The 1200 looks great but its 20 kg too heavy and 3 grand too much for me.
If i ever get one it will be a used one as most people with that much money will sell it winter 2014 ��

Dirty · 03-12-2013, 05:36 PM

Why would you want a 1200 when you already have something as good looking as this?
