    After the engine re-manlting that finished at 3am yesterday (Sunday) morning, I put the rest of the bike together today, Rolled it out into the driveway and after a few kicks I was greeted with a VERY crisp crack and burble from the Staintune.

    Is there a sweeter sound than a freshly rebuilt engine? haven’t heard it in 5 months, so I am a happy camper.

    Blue slip and all sorted

    Blue slipped, green slipped, slipped through rego!

    Nick’s work on the springy bits is like night and day to how it used to be. feels like an enduro bike now, not an arm chair with a teeth chattering front end.

    Bring on the boys weekend, only two more sleeps!

    Tonight I fitted a more substantial battery 2.9ah (HID and 12v socket) and made a bracket instead of using 20 zipties. Webbed tape was not meant to be, but clamping bracket was not quite right.

    Did only half the jobs I had planned for the 690 today :S
    Grabbed a new rear black thing, oil filter kit, new pillow top grips, had lunch, drained the old oil/removed filters changed the grips and that’s as far as I got.

    Visitors turned up and now I can`t be bothered getting back into it to be interrupted to take the daughter to the flicks at 5.30 :laugh:

    Even half a planned shed time is better than none though I suppose ,,,
