+++BACK IN TIME+++

Reorganising my photos I came across some nice shots of my tour through the french and swiss alps during my trip in summer 2014, where I travelled to the french riviera and back home to cologne/germany.
This is the peak station of the #croixdelafer where the Le Tour de France usually passes by before they finally climb up to Alpe d'Huez ! #zephyr750superbike

+++LATE SUMMER+++

I've been a lot on the bike this summer, but the one with no engine! 😀 So in the upcoming autumn 🍂 there'll be hopefully a lot more opportunities to ride through the #eifel, if the weather is fine!

Lately I've done some painting on old tanks and I'll show you the result when everything is ready! CUsoon! 😀 #kawasaki #zephyr750superbike

...last October - meanwhile its march and the winter wasn't a real one! Since february the temperatures here in West-Germany are moderate. With nearly no rainfall there were plenty of occasions to put out the bike!

New Tire Dimension2

The new tire dimension that I mentioned in a post before is working very well. In this perspective you can see the higher shoulder (160/70/17), which results in a higher rolling circumference (10cm) and gives a higher rake(+1,5cm). Besides from the look, that sets a better proportion in terms of dynamics, you have a comfortable and agile ride! Very recommendable conversion!      ,

New Front Tire

Pics from the workshop: Zephyr is getting a new front tire today! In the back you can see the next project. It also has a green based livery as the one that was for sale before. We need a new stator for it and a new wishbone, so it still takes some time until we have it ready for sale.

New Tire Dimension #bridgestone

Right now I'm testing a new tire dimension for the #zephyr750 and I'm using a 160/70/17 instead of a 160/60/17. Of course this is not the original #zephyr rim but one from the #ZX6R. You can see the conversion in my former posts. 

The new tire has a diameter that is 3cm wider than the one before, so that my rolling circumference is also 10cm longer. But not only the gear-ratio changed by this, but also the character of driving the bike , because it has a rake of 1,5cm in the back now, which gives it a more direct steering!

Testing in the #eifel around #nürburgring follows!
