    Mettet: Entering the Corkscrew. Not quite Laguna Seca but a fair bit closer to home.
    Super shot, including heat/exhaust vortexing the air!

    So how are the BT45´s lasting by the way? The rear is still looking very good indeed, with measure thread depth next. Front is a different matter, it wears much quicker, Apart from the wear in the centre, stroking it counter roatation-wise I feel the edges in the pattern "stick up". She rides ok (was out yesterday for a couple of hours of twisty dikes) but I reckon the 30yr old suspension has something to do with the edges wearing in that manner.

    I used to think that this Meguiars claying thing was probably snake oil..... I was wrong....

    And to prevent mud kissing my new YSS going forward:

    She's a dirty puma she is...... Yesterday did a 200km trip on narrow dike roads on redslut. Liked that route so much I pretty much did the same route on puma. Taking advantage of the clocks going back 1 hour, it was a glorious, yet misty start Further up the road was covered in yellow leaves, the view in my mirror a cloud of yellow. Zen moment.. Scary stuff, half an inch of mud, did slide on it whilst slowing down... Eeeekkk!!!! Kept the sunny side up though :-) Do Not Miss The Apex ... This is how we reclaimd the land 100's of years ago... Pumping water with windmills

    Yeah 48k in her now. To make sure the other one does not cry foul, I took her for a ride and dinner just now :-)

    Ah yes my bad, front is a 15T... Had a good 240km run indeed! I will remove the voltage gauge and see if I can dry-out the moisture inside.. It will be even sunnier tomorrow, but with 11C it will feel more nippy..... Not as nippy as southern Sweden at 03:00 wearing summer gloves.....
  19. Dutchy
    Oh I am not worried with the voltage, that idles at 12+ with lights on and heated gloves. The 14is at 2000rpm and up It is the moisture inside that is a bit annoying.... :-) U missed a nice ride....
  20. Dutchy
    Hhhmmmm was greeted by this in the morning and it stayed there all day..... It did not spoil my day :-) Gimme shelter...
  21. Dutchy
    Yeah that bargain price for the set looks wholly unattractive with this knowledge! so that leaves my question re emulators on a VF500F2. Having read a bit mote it appears I would have to reassemble and drill/widen the oil holes in the lower innards?
  22. Dutchy
    cheers Duc! Local Ebay has a chain+sprocket set from a private seller, but I am not looking for more top speed; the 185kmh on GPS is more than enough.... I love the way the puma pulls from 0 so not messing with that.
  23. Dutchy
    next question...................... as per the fiche, the VF500F came with either a 44T rear sprocket (1984-85) or 43T (1986), Front sprocket 16T through the years. CORRECTION 15T!!! What would a 41T rear sprocket bring me (good or bad)?
  24. Dutchy
    Unless you install cartridge emulators, there is not much around to improve the old damperrod fork. Do I simply take out the springs, drop in the emulator, put spring on top and button up? Or do I have to take the forks apart and drill/machine something? My 4th gen has rods attached to the stanchion caps that slide inside a hollow rod (that is screwed ont othe cap) My VF500F2 has none of this; caps have and air valve and once I take the springs out, I pretty much have empty stanchions (with as per the parts fiche) soem parts at the bottowm

    The claxon and extra meters routed via a fuse box Hidden from view by the lower cowl, it shoudl be ok in this spot. One of the FIAMMs on redslut is close to the header too with no ill effect. Will keep an eye on it though, may add another bracket mounting point.
