The CLEANEST ST13 of all.....
« on: October 25, 2012, 09:33:00 AM »
I think I have the cleanest FarWeapon (with nearly 100K on the clock) E V A R!!!!

I had a great opportunity to scrub each component (like washing the dishes) recently as my ST13 went from this....



to this.....







I have just completed a huge re-wiring project - report to follow soon.

Now to start the process of making her all dirty again       :13Candy        see ya!

Cheers, Diesel

Nice one - maybe we should start calling you "Mr. Sheen"?

What are the two toggle switches below your left glovebox?

Lol - it took me about a bottle and a half of cab merlot - but mates rates are slightly higher again!        :rofl

They are top quality switches Saaz with a very positive action and well constructed. Nice little LED notification light too - so, easy to find at night.      :thumbs

Where did you get them?  Jaycar and other places probably have them. Just have to go look and try not to buy anything else!

That one nearly got through to the keeper!

I'm on to you Mr Nagle!          :well

And you're not helping people forget either!       :p

I cannot believe you still have this as your signature:

"I jus wanna ride my bike"

Time to rewrite it:

"I jus wanna clean, polish, photograph and brag about my shiny bike"     :p
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

The important part of the title was "... with nearly 100k kms on it"    Trophy secured.        :nahnah
