Well

[keand3]

Ahh... Now I'm on the same page as you 
Yes, I have replaced both of the m/c. The brake m/c I replaced when I did the front wheel mod last year. It came of an 97' R1, a 14mm piston.
The clutch master cylinder I replaced this winter, before the start of the season. I drove it somewhat ugly looking to begin with. I had to make a temporarily bracket for an old reservoir until I got my new one (the blue one in the picture) I took 8 fekken weeks to manufacture that little thing, but I think it was worth it 

The lube Capt. Ron wrote about looks nice... Don't know if we have them over here either.. Perhaps eBay is the way to go..

I'm looking forward to viewing your videos.

If I can't be there in person, the video is the next best thing!

Your bike looks great.

Thanks Randy!
Now I know what to add on my next order 

[keand3]

Well Joe, and all you other guys, as promised here's the video. I had forgot how much time it actually takes to edit footage so I haven't put all my effort into this video. 
Been a while since I've done any editing so I quickly realized that I need to freshen up a bit on that.. 
Will improve until the next one though 

I added some free music offered by YouTube onto the first half of the video, and the second half is with "driving" noise but mostly windnoise I'm afraid..
The trip took me trough some small towns and country side along the coast, southbound from where I live. As Joe pointed out from goggle maps, the road is called RV303..
(will be taking the corner part later on Joe)

Enjoy!

Anyone know how to get the video to be viewable like the photos in the thread??

Good job with the video Ken. I liked it! I was surprised to see that you drive on the right like we do. I guess scandinavia is different than europe. I don't get out of the country much. The urban areas you drove thru look quite different, as far as architecture but the highway looks very similar to I-95 in Maine. You wouldn't see tunnels like that here, at least in my neck of the woods. I noticed that they put tunnels in were blasting out rock would be easy. some of the tunnels went thru mountains, I can see that. Tunnels must be cheaper than building bridges. If they wanted to expand the road, they'de have to take the tunnel out. 

I Removed my rear wheel and gave my chain a bath in kerosine. Brushed it on the wire wheel. Washed it again with a brush and kerosine. Took the cover off the counter sprocket and washed under that. Took off my starter and broke it down. Got that all clean inside. She's been a little sluggish starting. Everythings together now and the starters working properly. I did use Tri-Flo on the chain. Comes out of the can thin. I'll have to do it again, I think, after the kerosine gets squeezed out. The chain looks almost new and the wheel seems free'er. A lot of grime came out of it.

Nice country,Ken. Looks a lot like driving the Fraser Canyon only with 4 lanes instead of just 2. Great video. Big R

Thanks. It was fun making it Will be makeing more soon i hope.

Actually, as far as i know, UK is the only european country that drive on the left side. All other drives on the right
The urban areas, meaning town like denseti, is typiclly 50 and 60's architecture.

The UK, Ireland, Malta & Cyprus are the only European counties that drive on the left. Sweden did until 1967 when they changed. That must have been an interesting day.

I'm from the UK but have driven a fair amount in the US/Canada/Europe without a problem. I've only ever driven hire cars so it's natural to drive on the side that put you near the middle of the road. On bikes it's ok if there is other traffic about - you copy them. If it's quiet I have on occasions started out on the wrong side. Going round roundabouts the "wrong way" is strange.

The biggest problem for me was when I used to ride in France. They have the "priorite a droite" (priority to the right) rule. Traffic on the right at crossroads, entering roundabouts and sometimes (but not always) from side roads have priority. I think this is being phased out. Although in France it's hard to tell when someone pulls out in front of you if they had priority or if they just don't give a shit. 

[keand3]

Yes, you nailed it. As long as you are seated near the middel of the road it should be fine 

Spraking of doing the roundabouts the wrong way, i drow in london a few years back, that throwed me a bit
