On Saturday cleaned the bike up and gave it the ACF-50 treatment so fingers crossed it'll now be protected from the elements. Great summer this, the wettest drought in history and still have a hose-pipe ban!.
This morning, had to decide whether to ride or drive in to work. Decided I'd rather be on the Tmax in the wet but moving freely than sitting in queues of stop/start traffic in the car. Took it nice and sensible and glad the new gortex jacket and trousers are keeping me dry too.

Fitted a regulator from a YZF600 and hacked the battery box about to fit a battery from a mk3 Tmax into.

I've actually painted some Hammerite on my rusty centre-stand! It may seem trivial to you, but this a major DIY operation by my standards. Looks good....so far.

Made aSatNav mounting braket for the ugly scoot, asked the price of a top centre cover for the bars yesterday while i was in getting the 600 service, £24 so ordered it.
Today i removed said top cover and the top middle cover, did some stuff with the ruler, drilled, milled, filed and bent a lump of steel, took the dremel to the top plastic cover
and B***r me it fits :lol:
