Just found out about the Crispy Club stuff for the T7, looks interesting

Those older Tokico calliper

Yep those be them

Brilliant, have been doing this since 125 ownership but read some conflicting views online and doubted myself. The rear is pretty good, for a back brake, so not going to mess with it. Fingers crossed I can get it all working and tested this weekend, pistons definitely went in smoother than when just lubed with DOT4.

Great, just what I wanted to hear.

What's the hivemind on using red rubber grease (sparingly) for brake caliper seals and pistons? I'm rebuilding my SRADs front brakes, again, as they were sticking. I rebuilt them at Christmas, admittedly with a Drambuie, and only used brake fluid as lubrication so keen to use red rubber grease as it's never caused issues in the past. Like anything seems there's a millions conflicting views online.

I was going to say, now you're a litre boy you've forgotten all about your trail riding roots ;)

Yeah they were totally fine, I wasn't in the mood for an argument so obliged. They had a paid event on, which I would have loved to see, but came in through the byway so skipped the ticket barrier. It's very strange around there, feels like a big waste ground but as the grounds are so big several footpaths, bridleways and byways etc go through it.

Glad to see you're getting more comfortable on the Honda(?). Rode up to Santa Pod this morning as there's lots of byways around there, admitadley did get escorted off the premises by security but still great fun. Didn't put up much resistance as was hungry so keen to get back home but would recommend exploring round there. Will study my OS map tonight to see where the byway ends.

Unrelated but saw this last month and thought it was particularly apt. The RVF makes me like it even more.

At the risk of sounding like a luddite that era of bike feels like a real sweet spot, more power than you need but analogue enough that it's exciting. Also helps that you can lift the tank without needing a laptop and 2 technicians. For the sake of 20hp would you consider a power commander and remap?

The colour is lovely too. Such a cool car.

Thanks chief. Talking of bikes that are too fast, for me I think the SRAD's 120(ish) bhp is great for weekend thrills. Not too much that it's boring under 70mph, but quick enough to get the blood pumping with a strategic overtake or occasional moment of hoonery.

First blast out with the Yoshi pipe and pleasantly surprised it's not too loud. Also got the bike up to temperature so the fan kicked in a couple of times as haven't done this since replacing the coolant. I can confirm the samco hoses do make it run cooler too.

Nicely done, love that your first thought is how this can improve your motorcycling. Priorities right there.

When the Outback dies pretty certain I'll go C5 estate too, they look great.

@ColinTheBald look at the shoulders on Dave!

Had to try on the local club River Lea stretch yesterday being the last day of the season. Nothing graced the net but saw lots of carp, and got side-tracked trying to land one instead of targeting barbel or chub. Even had a carp on the hook but predictably came off so will return in June. Would have been nice to land my first fish of the year but nonetheless was a pleasure to be on the bank yesterday.

Don't you get any ideas on the CBR now!

Bit late to the jeans chat but xlmoto.co.uk are currently doing a jeans and leather jacket combo deal for £80 until the 27th. Have no idea on quality but thought might be useful to some, the site is fairly reputable at least.

The now normal Hello magazine-esque clickbaity thumbnails on some YouTube videos are too much.

I call that a pretty good update after 4 months. Looks well smart.

Bloody hell, that sounds like bad luck. Hope you and the bike get back to fighting form soon.

Proper steel TT bike (minus wheels) for collection only in brizzle. Could do with more sizing info though.

Have we talked about how long you can shout "trunk of punk"? Feels a worthy bedfellow to crisps on the radio etc...

Glad to have found this thread. What's the ultimate aim for the workshop side? Understand the naivety of this question considering how the porsche panned out. Best of luck with the levels beurocracy involved too.
