8mm, 6 point, 1/4" drive, deep....my current one seems to have gone AWOL from the toolbox sometime in the last couple of days...

Someone knocked on my garage door earlier today... asking for directions home. I introduced him to my team. Made friends with the ratchet. He ain't coming back @texscottyd.

 I put a set of Michelin Road 5's on, no more shake decelerating thru 40 mph with hands of the bars☺️. While the front wheel was off I installed the 320mm R1 rotors with the 11mm caliper spacers that I had made up. I made a point to take the bike out for a ride to burn off the fuel in the tank, before it comes off for the Speigler brake line install. The front brakes definitely improved with the larger rotors and I'm looking forward to  further improvement with the new lines.

I installed Renthal Street Naked handlebars - very happy with them.  I always felt as though I was 'reaching' just that little bit with the stock bar but the Renthal is swept just right IMHO.

While I had the bike pulled down for some maintenance I also added a Chinese bike dash cam V-SYS P6FL dual camera - 1080P front and back, the entire system rated as waterproof and is very discreet.  No screen on head unit and is set up via a basic app.  Turns on & off with the ignition and has a fob with buttons to allow you to take a photo and 'lock' a section of footage from being erased.  Not GoPro quality footage but good enough for the intended purpose.

P6FL Kit:

Decent connectors:

Mounting position for the DVR head unit - compact, neat, out of the road and SD card accessible from the top:

Front Camera location:

Rear Camera located under the rear luggage carrier:

Not today, but on Monday I'm fitting a Nitron NTR2 on my GT. Really looking forward to the upgrade. I've done suspension on a number of my bikes over the last few years and never regretted any of them. Highly recommended if you can afford it.

The GT seems to be sprung for a 60kg rider never intending to have a passenger or be loaded!
