went to change my spring yesterday, soon as I unboxed the new spring something looked wrong, existing spring is 525lb.... and here is where it all went wrong , the new spring was ordered as an 8.5kg/mm,  so they sent me an 850lb spring.... I'd have been better of with a steel strut ... ah well , nothing that can't be swapped 

went for a hurl around Ayrshire on Friday night, bike didn't feel right, I need to sort the geometry, so it needs it's steering damper, turns out the anchor post needs bracing, if moving at any kind of pace the amount of steering input don't move the damper much at all ... add it to the list 

(but we need pictures) 

I had to sort out the back brake , I've not mentioned this have I?, I'd fitted the HRC green rear res tube... which I now know is shit for long term use, ended up with a seized master cylinder, so that got stripped , cleaned and made to work again, then I made myself something more fitting. Couldn't decide what to engrave on it, bike already has  Suzuki logo, GSXR, BFT... so i went full on nerd

got my bar end mirrors fitted, I must be getting old, indicators ...mirrors... where will it end?  To be fair, with the carbon Bandit lid you have fuck all hope of seeing much over your shoulder .... and.....i'm... auld 

the act of doing this pointed out something I've never really noticed, as soon as I get on my bike I automatically kick up the side stand , not a bad thing I hear you say ? No, not under normal circumstances, but when you've just adjusted the mirrors, have no hands on the bike and just let it roll onto the stand... it becomes an issue, catching a bike on one leg alone, before the nearby wall stops it for you is no mean feet, which evidently was beyond me 

so for now at least I now have black numberboards on the tail
