After a weekend in the Netherlands, Belgium and France I had the night mare task of chnging a side light by having to remove the bl**y head lights. How crap a desigh is that. Not something I would want to be doing in the dark by the motorway anywhere in Europe.

Other than that I've re- done the XT1200Z Tank Conversion Project - Part Two after deleting it whilst trying to update the blog from my mobile.

Here's the link but I will put up a separate post

Truth is I really do not know but as long as it indicates reserve I'll be happy with that. The rest is just Happy Riding ::021::

The fuel level sensor is in the lower untouched segment of the tank. Since Jaxon just bumped out the top, it's just going to take longer for the fuel to start counting down on the meter. Beautiful work!

When his fuel needle starts moving he'll be freaking out looking for a gas station, and we're all happy that our tanks are still full. :)

Hi Folk's

All done and dusted & back home and safe n sound.

One missed turn after coming out of clackets added 20 miles to my route,(sat nav on silent didn't help) loads and loads of "Closed Roads"

So subject to the Boss Man saying yes STV

That's my SS1000 "Leap of Faith" DONE!

Stat's

1025 Miles on the button.

17 hours and 17 minutes

3 Tuna Roll's, a cold flask of black coffee and 3 small bottles of water later............

After a nice Bath I'm off out for some scran and a couple of pint's.

Paperwork will be in the post tomorrow to Phil


Latters Gatters.................. could just do it again I'm Buzzing

Congrats on a nice ride. ::018::

Hope that tough bastid that verifies the rides doesn't come up with a shorter number of miles. ;) I tell most to pad by 40 or so, just to be on the safe side. Good time too! Anything under 18 hours and your ride went well.
