Congrats!
I haven't been noting much on the forum, simply because I'm not sure if anyone would be interested (and I've not been on the computer daily either*).
I've done a trip to France (
http://flashtours.co.uk **), which was superb fun, and I've had a couple of remedial bits of work done:
The steering Ball Joints have been replaced : this TRANSFORMED the bike for me - previously it would 'wander' when there was no input to the bike (ie no throttle, or brake input), even in long corners. This was NOT making me happy, when I test rode it, I thought it was the tyres (which is why I had them changed). I now need to essentially get used to the bike all over again.
Also had the CCT replaced - the big K bikes have an issue where the CCT goes slack when the bike is cold, so the cam-chain is loose at startup (it makes quite a nasty noise) until oil gets into the CCT (it's assisted by the oil pressure). The new part retains that pressure (I assume in a resevoir) so the cam-chain is still tensioned for the next startup.
I've also fitted my old top-box to the bike - I bolted it straight to the grab-handles and (so far) it's solid as a rock. If there's interest I'll do some pics.
About the only other things I've done are : accessory wiring***, R&G crash bung on the swingarm (the oe BMW plastic cover fell off!), and a mudguard extender on the front.
I'm still looking for a new job, and when I get it i'm going to be saving up for something newer, possibly an RS or a GS, if I get a job in central london I won't be able to use the K (Although it's EURO3 emissions compliant, the new UltraLowEmissionZone bans any vehicle registered before 1 Jan 2007.
(as far as I can make out) )
* took a work 'sabbatical' at Easter so have been 'on holiday' doing various things.
** please let me know what you think of the site, I built it.
*** PIAA relay switched loom which are linked to a KEIS heated gillet setup (with controller), and a car-type power outlet for a Brodit powered mobile phone mount, which is what I use for navigation and music (via a Cardo Scala G4 headset). NB: the Cardo Scala is so good, I've taken phone calls and the other person doesn't know I'm on a bike.
