Shame about the butchered fairings, but you found a good solution, best get some miles done and just in time for the decent weather.

Wow, almost a year ago. I only did about 500 miles on it last year, but I've a few bikes to share riding duties. I had an annoying pulsating coming from the front end under braking, runout on the discs is well under spec, all the bobbins are free, head bearings are good, so I recently replaced the front wheel bearings, still to test ride.
Just uncovered the bike from winter hibernation and fired it up with no troubles so I could change the oil and filter.
While it was warming up I got a Baro sensor fault flash up, I removed the upper cowl and it looks like someone has had a go at the wiring to it in the past, I missed it during the rebuild. I'll strip the bodge and re-solder it tomorrow.
Decided the rear tyre is a bit squared off and it felt a bit wrong when tipping in, so just ordered a new one. Think I'll have the wheel powdercoated while it's stripped, the Honda paint seems really thin on these.
I've still got a couple of niggles that I'd like to sort out. I'd like a genuine inner cowl (black bit below the headlights) and a better set of side fairings which aren't drilled for crash bungs. If anyone has any spares they'd like to sell, I'd really appreciate it.
