Well today I gave the front brakes a good looking at stripped them was some gunk in fluid but also noted the right caliper had seized not the pistons the rods that go in and out so wire brushed rods down re greased put back together and it stops a lot better seems I've been riding with one front brake but In process I snapped the windscreen in half ffs

Haha so is the sun but after taking Mrs work today I was fooking drenched torso neck legs ffs with a screen only my gloves would of got wet think it's a design flaw on the pan no screen means all airflow gets drawn to the gentleman's region thus creating a torrential downpour in this one specific region.

How did you manage to break the screen while sorting calipers?

As bars were in resoviour level position which as you know pushes the bike up straight whilst on side stand I forgot to lock them other way and we'll yes as tightening a bolt it went crash

That broke on a rideout few months back due to old and frail which resulted in a emergency brain storm to get the pan back on road..no replacement yet as there hard to come by unless they need work
