Continuing - So what did you do to your bike today...?

[mlivkovich]

Good skills painting the inside of that without getting it on the bobbins.  Great job.

Masking tape, beer, free time and nerves involved

[grog]

Mliv, those tyres you use sure get good reviews. A great road and track tyre and last. Your thoughts Mate.

+1 for me, I'm assuming they're the Mitas Sport Force+

Id be interested in your views on these @mlivkovich

[mlivkovich]

Yes, mitas sport force +, 7000km so far on them, great grip on dry and wet. My last tires were michelin pilot power and rear mitas is as good as michelin but front doesn't give feeling like michelin. Grip is good but there is some resistance when leaning, just feel harder to lean. So, michelin is my next choice.

         Good job done with your front discs 

         I'm intrigued with your front wheel clamp that is attached to what looks to be a home built bike stand? Any chance you have more photos of the stand to share?

         I've often fancied one of those purpose built metal bike stands but not the easiest things to source and collect, especially when buying 2nd hand.

          Would i have the confidence to build something from wood and be sure it wouldn't collapse and destroy my pride and joy?
The more l think about it as l type this, a purpose built stand seems a safer bet.

This wheel clamp is homemade just like whole lifting table is. I made it 8 months ago and it works great! My plan is to start new thread to show it but not finished yet (not painted). I hope I'll finish it over the winter.

There are many results if you search on google for "motorcycle wheel chock" but I can give you exact measurements of mine.

The wheel chock is safe for use, I serviced over 20 motorcycles including mine during this summer and it works great!

Cheers for getting back, yes i spotted the wheel chock looked home made too. I was more interested in the design of your wooden lifting table i definitely haven't the ability to make the metal wheel chock that would need to be bought 

Will be interested to see and read the finished article though. 

[mlivkovich]

Lifting table is made of metal (sounds like rob halford's album ), there is just osb table top. I made scissor lift powered by old truck air bag.

After a few weeks of worry about blood clots from a swollen calf (twice the size !!!!)   I got out for a 2hr ride.  Even took a pic (tho not that flash?) Better take a camera next time.

Heads up on the LED globes, they don't fit using the original spring clip,it is too high and fouls the heat sink tilting the globe, I fitted one on the weekend and had to hold the globe in with a couple of little right angle brackets I made screwed in to the spring clip holding screw holes,haven't tried it at night yet but going by the reflection on the back of cars it looks promising

[grog]

Not exactly plug n play then.

[Hooli]

Mine didn't fit with the original clip either, so I bent the clip till it did.

Stedi led? Looked too much to bend to me, so I didn't bother trying as I thought it may break
