While planning a quiet day off the roads to stay clear of any straggling party goers, I look up my maintenance log and worked out I was due to look at the valve clearances (well, it was 5000kms overdue..) So I wheeled the bike into the garage and removed the required bodywork and did the valves. Only one inlet needed a shim change, as all the others were right in the middle of the required ranges :hatwave so it seems the bike may have settled down at 179,000kms.
While the bellypan was off, I gave the clutch a good bleed. The fluid was quite dark and a little bit of sludge needed cleaning out. The front brake fluid looked like new, so the clutch fluid obviously get a harder time of it with the heat. Rear brake fluid looked ok as well.
Bike is back together, so I may even give it a proper wash and polish :think1

I am in the middle of fitting a Stebel Nautilus horn, so lots of plastic off and hand scraping.

1100s are a cow to fit. I've done both, and the 1300s are a cinch by comparison.
I split the compressor off and put it in the left pocket and plastic tubed the air to the horn which I hung under the headlight so it was out in the open.

I made a mount for the compressor, and bolted it where the original horn fitted, and Hot glued the trumpet to the fairing above it and connected by a short hose. Its a bugger of a job
