I Hollared "Don't Look Ethel" But it was "Too Late" 

[lastdegree]

Bar got wired and one very unhappy tech Steve who's installed 12" MBB, but says the 8" are a pig to wire

[lastdegree]

In fact Steve's so pissed off with the job he sent me a message

[lastdegree]

and another - mad as a box of frogs this lad, but knows what's what

[lastdegree]

They'd not seen progressive monotubes before until they opened the box - wow nice looking kit

[lastdegree]

last cheeky shot until tomorrow when the lot goes back together - or they think it is

Funny message from the head of service

Hi Adam,

Steve was ready to chuck in the towel, he sends his greetings. LOL
 
Job has come to a stand still as the progressive paper work shows filling the forks with fork oil with a gravy jug, we are working out whether we should use chicken or onion gravy, and if it should be bisto or tesco own?
would do you reckon?

Chris.


BTW Bisto is a powder based gravy, tesco is like safeway - funny bunch.  Hoping they went with Chicken.

Glad to see your making progress  

A word to the technician the Monotubes get 5 oz of 10W oil and no more or they can hydrolock  

the stock Harley units use 9 Oz of 20w and I've heard of them overfilling the gravy   Just a word of caution.

Bars look AWESOME 

[lastdegree]

All the doubts are going.  Really liking the bars also.  Braided cables are ordered and fingers crossed Tuesday it's all done. Cannot wait to see the inner fairing on.  Plus, we still have Headwinds bezel and spots to go.

Ahem Ahem we seem to be short of pictures?
Hell my friend  I could've flown over completed the work and posted the pictures for you by now?
They need to stop sipping tea and get to work

That's what I'm thinkin......way to slow for my patience level.

I think Jim has us Nor Cal guys spoiled.

[slamr]

WOW!  Tough sight. . . . .   
If the weather in the UK is anything like Upstate right now, can't be missing much riding time right now.  And remember:  GOOD THINGS TAKE TIME!   
Cheers everyone.

The weather here is not great.   However, as much as I'm not going to ride the bike, I hate, just hate dumb service. 

I'm a self confessed impatient man.  I cannot for life of me wait when there's an alternative.  The dealer emails to say that they ordered some braided cables and one of them looks to arrive in Europe on the 17th of Nov?  Why would anyone order braided cable parts from the US when there's more bike shops capable of making hydraulic lines within 30 miles of the dealer??

It would appear that my bike will be back sometime this year?  At this rate, I may move the captain to make way for a nice 911 / 930 turbo...mmmm
