All done.

Finally finished fettling now and the bike is just about as ready as it ever will be to "go do Europe"  It's been given a good clean, only because it's going to get mingin' on our 3 week trip and hopefully all the wax polish on it will make it easier to clean when we get back. Below are few shots of getting it ready for the trip

Found these blue LED bulbs in my drawer, thought I'd fit them to see how  "Chav" they looked.
Then realised they may help Red Leader One - aka Wesley to keep tags on us in his mirrors so
decided to leave them in. He's taking the main Sat Nav - his new state of the art Tom Tom Rider so
will be leading most of the way.  My old Nav Man will be taken purely as a backup, no point me
 having a sat nav on the bike as I'm deaf as a post & would  never hear the bloody thing

All sparkly clean, luggage fitted and ready to go 

The other Beastie doing the Europe trip - Wesley's Guzzi 1200 Sport

Fitting the new DID Gold Chain & JT sprockets

Balancing the SVs

New front brake pads fitted and a lick of paint put on the forks

Luggage racks and Baglux tank harness fitted. The Scottoiler has been moved from it's original position on the frame to the
rear number plate mount. With Wee Jim and all the luggage on it was almost hitting the chain guard
