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

Checked the shims today expecting I'd have to replace a few after 190,000kms. A couple were on top tolerance but still within spec so it seems the diesel oil is doing it's job.

Well done that man!

Went out for a 160 mile spin around Kent and East Sussex, out through Dartford Tunnel, country roads down to Beachy Head, along through Eastbourne towards Hastings and then home. Cold and drizzly all day. Bike (and rider LOL) is absolutely minging. Will get cleaned tomorrow, should take me....ooh 30 mins back to immaculate. But I'll take a picture first and post up here, just a little too dark now

So here's the photos - 20 mins with a pressure washer and all clean now 

Jeez it was a grubby day on the roads yesterday!!!!!

Indeed its turned into a proper bike................oops wrong forum LOL

Had I still got my 14, then I wouldn't even have considered going out yesterday, have to say super impressed the way the Trumpet went, far better in that sort of weather than the 14 I have to say (in all honesty) - but then the Triumph was built for that sort of ruggedness, the 14 never was.

i did 200 miles on mine yesterday still minging was not a day for the bike i wouldnt have gone out on the bike if i had a choice but i was away and yesterday was comming home

and seth I like the cover sock for the rear springs .... I will be getting some of them for the winter

Do be wary of these suspension socks - never had one myself, but have read of rear suspension failures on other forums as they can contain the moisture inside the shock and possibly cause early failure

they velcro and cable tie on .
so i remove ours a few times over the year also i use general grease on all moving parts before refitting the shox socks .
but dave is right they do need to be regularly checked .
shouldn't be thought of as fit and forget parts.

Snook an hour away today and slipped these on
