I think we all agree that rust is one of the most common causes of bike "deaths" At some point we all had to deal with rust in our machines and for sure there are many processes people have for it. I found this clip which I think is quite interesting. I don't know how well it will work on a part that is heavily exposed to the elements but could be a way to deal with it. Personally, I would still prefer the more expensive nickel plating as it would last longer. The purpose of this thread is that we can share experiences and as many different ways as possible. Thank you for watching

In Scotland you would have a t-shirt, a long sleeve shirt, thermal long sleeve then your jacket. A neck thingy to stop midges getting into the lid. Trousers would have the inner warm layer. Because of my arthritis I'll use my knee thermal protection. Thermal socks. 3 pairs of gloves because you know rain is a matter of time...

Changed my mind will only use the front disks. Can easily weld the 2 together and make a table clock. Need to give them a good clean, remove the rust and dirt. weld it in place then a good coat of clear varnish. Mechanism from Aliexpress Maybe @Stu will let me use the forum's logo.

Maybe I'll use the 3 disks and make a clock out of it. 1 front disk as base, second front disk vertical as dial. then cut the rear disk to fit inside the base to hold the vertical bit. Watch this space

Got the new EBC fitted now and they look great. like a diamond necklace Old ones aren't even branded. Maybe I'll make something with them ...

Yeah, still only worth 4k if I'm lucky Although insurance won't give me more than a couple grant...

All fitted back and all fluid replaced/bleed. Now rear brake is stuck Youtube is saying probably cause the secondary front master cylinder maybe needing servicing. Some guy replaced the balancing valve. From memory the secondary cylinder was working properly. So, either the balancing valve (a pain to replace) or need to rebuild the rear master. While at it, maybe better to bite the bullet and get the 139 hoses and replace the whole lot. Service the rear master, service the balancing valve. costs are creeping up...

The old disks are beyond repair, pitted badly. The repair would bring them below recommended thickness so it's a no.

Getting there Both front disks in place, wheel back in. Tomorrow the 3hrs bleeding the callipers. Each have 2 bleeders and have to be done together. Several times each calliper untill no air is in the system.

Play attention as they can be called as off-road and illegal on public roads.

Any fitted lights that will cause dazzling to other road users are considered illegal and either incorrectly used or fitted. running lights should not be so intense that will disturb other road users but strong enough that would be seen at a distance of 120m. Either you have fog lights, which are illegal to use during clear days, or they are actually auxiliary lights and will need to comply with the range that they are supposed to reach (40m at the top of the beam) with a clear demarcation. Should those be high beam auxiliary lights then they will be connected to the main lights of the bike.

Rear wheel fitted unfortunately front disks bolts are the wrong ones and wemoto will only send them on Monday Fixed exhaust with new shiny clamps. These have to wait...

When you have the patience of a saint... Aluminum

When you think you have seen it all....

Torn between finish the brakes on the Pan and the deadline of March to finish the house Either way. No going out for me.

New disks are in SHINNYYYY new clamps for exhaust. So much for the old "SS" ones always nice to get a wee present

Found out how to get a parcel delivered quickly. You just need to be out of the house and courier will deliver it that exact date

How not to do it... Please, please. Don't do this at home, garage garden, drive. Don't phoking do it anywhere

How to remember that I have my glasses on top of my head when looking for them for 30min?

How to find my car keys

Morning update Rear wheel ready to go back in place Front callipers now waiting for disks to arrive and be fitted

Sake

Even I'm not one of them

Knowing the Chinese you probably could run of of the Chinese bikes with that rubbish

I wouldn't even get close to Chinese whisky. Probably made out of rice
