Bermuda Blue VT Calais

DAFUQ just happened?

 

Mini update. After battling zorst drone since fitting dual zorst. 1st was the Varex resi, which in theory was a good thing, just in practice was garbage. Butterflies vibrated and rattled at anything but wide open which then was fk off loud.
Next was a Hurricane resi which dampened the noise quite a bit, but the drone at 60 & 100kph was unbearable.
And finally a VZ HSV rear resi. Being dual 2.25" it matches the rest if the zorst. Oh, and if course received the compulsory polish.
With a little custom pipe work to fit up to rest of system

All fitted into place, at cruise has a nice quiet note and absolutely zero drone. And a little bark when you give it berries.

 

Meh. No need to broadcast the mang

 

'Twas a little bored on Xmas holidays so thought I might as well touch up my calipers. Previously they were painted silver, but decided to paint them red coz everyone knows red is faster.

 

Rear bags have been gone for about 18mths. Yellow springs are eeewwww.

 

Updates time. So after wheel cleaner munting the clear on my rims, thought it was time to show them some love.

First step made me a little nervous. Tested paint stripper on rims. All was good. So went for it.

 

Next was to repair some minor gutter rash. I used a die grinder with a well worn blue 50mm scotchbrite disc to buzz down and blend the rash.


Next was to thoroughly sand out machining marks with 600g wet followed by a maroon scotchbrite pad, use long strokes in the same direction.

And then finished off with some hi-temp rim wax to give them some chemical resistance.

 

And the finished product. Satin billet look lips.
