So after 300 miles of "test riding" I decided to be a good citizen and take the bike for its MOT.I must admit to being somewhat anxious about this,fully expecting an autopsy of sorts.Of cause I needn't of worried,passed first time
.
So that's me done for the time being ,back to what its all about,riding,and must say my 'new' XBR caff is vast improvement on my old XBR hack,everything feels tighter,the brakes are much stronger (I can get the rear wheel to lock up now,for the first time ever),powers up a bit,handling's a lot more inspiring ,and even the new riding position suits me better.
As always there's still some finishing to do,like the paintwork, though I'm really getting to like the bare metal tank
.Also ideas in the pipeline;dommie/XL exhaust,different tank,removing electric starter,600 cylinder/piston,and spoke wheels...........watch this space
