But this time I'll get them powder coated Green

Definitely the way to go, I'd never get around to swapping tyres on loose wheel, just for the odd trackday.

I did the same with the Daytona, but bought a bent one for 20 quid and then got Motoliner to straighten it. Think it cost around 50 quid with delivery.

Funny you should say that, just set up an automatic eBay search for ZX6 wheels

There's a BT021 on the front and a BT020 on the back, still debating when they go in the bin. I've got some BSB take off SCs in the garage, but it's maybe a bit too soon to put them on. But if I fit something else decent now I'll end up doing track days on them and not using the SCs. Tempted to say ...

LOL give me a chance, I've only done 80 miles

Not today but yesterday.... FECKING RODE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Roll on 27th March and British Summer Time!

LOL, definitely found the bottom of the suspension!

I managed to get out for a very cold hour last night and I'm in love. Took it on some of my favourite B roads and what a fecking machine. Need to work on my riding now. Everything seems almost back to normal, slow corners are still a bit driving miss daisy, but my brain is struggling with the amount...

Ah my old play ground, really takes me back

The Peaks is the same mate, this winter of shed loads of rain and freezing nights has ruined them.

You might need them when you come up to the Peaks!

Stop spending my money! I really don't need any encouragement.

Buying stuff online. So far paddock stands, front and back crash bungs, tail tidy and some angled tyre valves.

Why the chuff would any manufacturer put straight valves on a motorbike?

LOL I think D6 was joking.

What I meant is the 24 in the front combined with a sh!ty tyre was probably contributing to the vague front end feeling. Plus I'm fairly sure the front sag is out, but can't be sure as I can't see the forks when I lift the bike up

If your worried about the handling just check it's all back on stock suspension settings and tyres are correct pressure as a good starting point. We can have a good play when we go out for a ride if you want.

24 in the front and 33 in the rear!

Looks fab. Didn't realise you have been without a bike for 2 years Monty! 60 miles I'd pretty impressive for someone who hasn't ridden for a while on a sports bike. Hope you can adjust bits and pieces to make it feel more confidence inspiring Not quite two years, two years this July, but feels like...

Literally!

I would seriously consider getting shot of the Bridgestones? and getting some proper tyres on it. I have never felt the front is right on Bridgestones.

I've got two sets of BSB take offs in the garage that will be going on when the temperature hits double figures
