Yeh, it was too chilly to fully test the new rotors with the new Carbon Lorraine SBK pads but I'm expecting good things!

I'm glad she has toned down her need for pink.

That bike is too attractive to Barbie it up too much.

Have you used these before?

I usually run Carbone Lorraine on the race bike and have not found a better pad. Good things is an understatement.

Enjoy!

I can't see you pic, but sounds like a solid days work. I officially put mine away yesterday. Took her for a short ride, it was about 33* outside, changed oil, added stabilizer, and gave her a bath.

Looks good...got a lot accomplished. I've done most of that in the past and out of all of it the one thing I had most trouble with for some reason is the freakin' rim tape...looked like crap so I peeled it off and will attempt it again later.

I didn't use an applicator and attempted it with the wheels on the bike but for whatever reason it just didn't come out right. It looks like the tape you used was a bit wider than what I used...maybe that will make a difference when I attempt it again.

Oh it was a fucking pain, bro!!! Plus as it got cooler, the tape got harder to put on. I did an okay job for doing it by hand with the wheels on the bike. I may redo it some other time in the Summer. Now, I'm off to install the exhaust!

Done!

It took like 2 minutes.
