her name is Nikki...

a few here know me. i have done the intro's before. a few know a little while back, i had a small mishap and lost my second favorite girl. well i had to replace her.

Darling Nikki... am sure some of you know teh song. anyway its one of my favorites from way back. i collected Nikki last Tuesday. thanks guys for the heads up. took her out today. she has all the style and grace as one would expect. almost rectified her embarrassing bits. no bike of her caliber should be running around with those sorts of strips! anyway its time to show her. the pics not good, but it doesnt need to be.

ladies and gents... my new ride...

she is a 2006 xb12r. superb condition, and tight as. love the look of the swingarm over the older xb's.
am i smiling.... of course.

fitted the crg levers even before i had finished handing over the cash. removed the belt guards. and a few unsightly stickers and reflecters. have a few more bits to do. and yes believe it or not i am leaving her shiney.... at this stage!

And a beautiful young lady she is 2G. Progressing in ending vowel from 'a' to 'i'. Is this a new maturity in your choice of companions coming thru .

Return to the 'bolt

haha... thanks pete. jac's happy cause i no longer have a reason to tell my 'jemma story'.

the bolt. i am not so loutish on the bolt. dont know how long the full fairing will last though.

its good i got another set to play with.

those levers are sweet too thanks. hey should the clutch lever move when accelerating? it pulls in a little. not sure if it may need a little adjusting.

gotta fit a couple of other bits i have already. then i might ask you for a couple of other items when permitted.

cheers.

Is it from the roller-click mechanism or the cable. My cable wireform got changed last service and the cluch cable was routed too tight, and the cable pulled the clutch lever.

The lever should work the same as the black ones you had. Check it out - maybe see if you can see where its going wrong. If there's a problem send it back and I'll change it.

Sweetas!!!

Tho I love my tuber, I rode one of those dubbed "Bernadette" at a Buell test ride, loved every minute!!

You certainly are keeping the faith

Its good to see you sorted.

Pete: You got any of those wireforms

Hi Murdoch

I started stocking the new upgraded wireforms just to let people know about them - no longer wire. Aussie XB12SS got one last week, and I've got one. They won't break like the old ones. By the time I posted it it would cost you more than your local dealer. Definitely good to do - my clutch cable got fied when the wire one broke.

Sorry to hijack the thread

What are they now made of Pete & what do they look like
If you have them in stock I`ll grab one

thanks pete. i think it may be that the cable is potentially a little tight. will look at it.

i think i will go a hydrolic kit instead. maybe.
