What did you buy today ???

[KiwiCol]

Next thing you'll have running boards Col 

They are not an option on the Rocket, the Americans have looked into it for their bikes & Triumph don't make any for it nor does anyone else apparently.  They're sad about that, but I'm not.

Today received brilliant smart charger,12&24v, for golf cart also. Problem is, another being delivered tomorrow, late nights , beers & ebay just not a good combination.😂

[Eric GSX1400K3]

That's funny grog.  I recently ordered and took delivery of a noco smart charger that also does lithium batteries.  Quality gear. Then I ordered the noco lithium jump starter 1500Amp too.

Just ordered new o.e.m. Genuine Suzuki fork seals, wezmoto steel braided brake lines and a chain alignment tool. When they arrive I can start on my bike from front to back. Already have the service kit and new chain and sprockets ready to go, M.O.T is due end of May. Just gotta persuade my mate to lend me some garage space. As he drinks snakebites I'll bribe him with Stella and cider. (For those not in the know , mix half lager ,half cider in same glass = snakebite).

You gotta love retirement sorting the stuff you've been putting up with for years, New airline reel , turfing messy hoses

[KiwiCol]

Flash!   My air hose is wound round the handle of the compressor.

[grog]

Totally agree Horse. Fixing up crap been putting up with. Ill get air hose reel now you've mentioned it. I got same for garden hoses, what a difference. 8 mths retired now, mustve fixed 20 odd things, [been putting up with].

[Horse]

Sydney tools have that (bayer) on special at the moment $180 down to $120 not vouching for the quality but for home use I reckon it may be OK

Fitted bar risers while back, first ride two chrome caps on Allen keys disappeared, new ones arrived today. All looks neat n tidy now.

[KiwiCol]

So how does it feel with the risers?  I remember when I put them on mine, it felt better, but it didn't last for me.

[grog]

Risers i like.Bike feels different with no weight on arms.Risers also moved bars back 18mm, hands closer is also better. Theres another set of bars with extra 30 mm pull back, id like them but means extended brake and clutch hoses, not doing that. So far a good change.

[Kiwifruit]

Put risers on years ago only 20mm I think, maximum the clutch and brake lines allow. I have my bars rolled back and down a long way too. Wrists used to get quite uncomfortable. Not any more.

[KiwiCol]

Think it was 50mm longer I had the brake & clutch braided hoses made when I swapped mine out. No extra charge either, or bugger all if it was. Pommy outfit that I got them from & had shipped out to me.

[Tally]

Brake lines and chain alignment tool arrived today which means I can start on my bike weekend. Forks I'll do last as I may need to have a run out first I haven't ridden since November when I parked her up.

Old Karcher pressure cleaner sitting in shed,time it got tossed and get a newie. I decided, after at least 15 yrs to try it, no expectations. Bloody thing, no leaks, works perfectly, unbelievable.Used nearly two hours, also tripped over hose and now very damaged toe.🤷
