Out with the Old in with the New

Some new parts arrived today, well one any way. The new Muzzy fan for my bike rocked up at the doorstep so straight out to the shed I went and started working on the bike again.
The old fans have a tendency to melt!! Being made of plastic doesn't help.

Pretty easy to fit, its probably one of the rare occasions when I purchased something mechanical and it hasn't had to be modified.Normally there's always something that has to be tweaked here or adjusted there, but not this time.
 Once everything was locktite-ed in I thought it prudent that I should test it prior to re-assembling the bike, the last thing I want is to hear weird noises from the fan when the bike is back together.....that would be spanner throwing material...;-).

I'm glad to say all is well.......just be careful where you put your fingers when testing.

Out with the old in with the new.

Next job on the list is to fix the front mudguard. These also have a tendency to crack around the mounting  points on the forks. I think fibreglass is the order of the day here. Ive got a few ideas on how to strengthen the area so will post it when jobs complete.

Ive been mainly cleaning other bits and pieces of the bike while I'm waiting for the valves to show up.

The pipes on my bike are stainless so they come up a treat when you smother the polish on them.

Tickets are now available for the Superbike race so Ill be looking into that soon also. Its all slowly coming together....but I have a sneeking suspicion that there is harder work ahead of me.
