Also, got a new timing gun on Flea-bay so once I get my valve clearances sorted, pics of the shims will be coming, I'm going to time the ignition and try to document the procedure and results as I've not been able to find a lot on the topic.

Sometimes I just luv BMW! Bought the mirror extension kit from Motobins, thanks TWB, and I was very happy with the quality of the kit and it even included the mounting brackets and hardware! Guess I can sell my old cleaned up brackets on Flea-bay now.

Clearance for the third bolt on the extension kit was very tight, but it just fit by the original internal mounting bracket!

Oh, and before I forget does anyone have experience with repairing the steering locks? Key goes in and turns, but the forks never lock in place. :-(

Since the weather turned out so good I couldn't resist the temptation to fire up the media blaster and do a little tarting!

Getting ready to install the headlight relay ala Charlie's bike! Great idea mate.

Simple fix on the relays. Just rotated them 90 degrees so they are almost parallel with the ground and they cleared the fairing and should be plenty of room for instrument pods.

Since the fairing is out loaded up the new headlight bulb. Went conservative with the 65/70 W to avoid any heat related issus, and may have to add driving lights later as it gets pretty nasty here in the fall/winter.







Also, going to polish the windscreen as its definitely looking a bit scruffy.

Well, after talking to a couple of very experienced upholstery guys I've decided to do the clean up on the seat pan, fasteners, and cap myself and than send the all the parts to Sargent in Florida so they can refurb. the foam and steam fit a new cover as well.

Just got the pan sandblasted.

Got the sealer on and hopefully will get the finish coat on tomorrow evening.

Now, these are what I call front end upgrades!
