I have a visitor in mine this week: 2016 1299S Panigale

** A little side job so I can pour more money in the Daytona **

• Fork Rebuild
• Brakes: Clean, Pads, Fluid Flush
• Fairing Bolt Check. Lots of bolts/fasteners loose or missing

She's done and ready to go home.

Time to get back on my Triumph Project.

That Duc is stunning, and I'm very jealous of how tidy your garage is!

Got my brothers Sprint ST in the garage for a Stator Reg/Rec repair.
Doing some fairing tab fixes while waiting on parts.

Finally got the Sprint done, and took her for a 160 mile shakedown .... Sweet ride !

Hey Schim I don't know if you're aware but there's an upgrade for the location on of the RR on 1050 Sprints from about 2009 onwards and all GT's. The new location is at the top of the LH fairing and a revised fairing bracket with mounting provision for the RR to this location is available. No wiring mods required as the harness is long enough and the benefit is much improved cooling. The part is quite inexpensive.
Nice bike!

sussuf - No sir was not aware of that. This is a 2005, so maybe different ?

Either way should be good. I upgraded to the Ricks Stator, Mosfet Reg/Rec, and direct wiring harness. Also cut some of the foam away from inside the fairing to let more air flow.

This setup has been bullet proof on my Daytona for 6-7 years now ...

Thanks for the info though.

It's still an easy upgrade. Just buy the new fairing bracket and move everything up to the front where the fresh cool air is! Not much work at all.

Been a busy couple of days in the bike garage:
Finished prepping the dirt scoot for this weekends race, buttoned up some items on the rear of the Daytona, and started an easy pull clutch kit on the dyna .....

Nothing like spending quality time in the garage with the motobikes…FTG

Made up a register plate holder since my old one snapped next to a mounting bolt and bye bye it went. Garbage piece of 4/6mm quintet aluminium sheet cut to form and soda blasted for nice matte finish, upper right corner bolt for plate is also register plate light. Fitting piece I made out of 5mm steel, this time it should hold. Also fixed some little things here and there, changed brake light switch and bled rear brake. I think tomorrow is a big day for a new season if it's not snowing.

Nice fab work to resolve the issue…FTG

I like building almost as much as riding. If I only had the time... It's allways the same, if you have space and tools to fabricate you certainly don't have time or money 😂

The ZRX getting new chain & sprockets !

That Kawi ZRX1100 look like a sweet bike to ride…FTG

She's a true muscle bike. A ton of low end torque ....
