Refactor - bike style

Workstand 

with all the work on the bike, I decided time to invest in a bike stand, starting to like the idea of being able to stand up, not having to worry about balancing the bike or rocking back and forth on the kick stand in order to spin front or read wheels.
That and now realising that I'm gonna have to pull the motor apart - the continual skipping when under torque has got me a little worried that I have some wear on the gears already (even though I think I'm just around the 400mile mark on the odometer).

looked for about 20mins and decied to give the buzzrack eco workstand (http://a.co/i7t1AGb) a try. Was one of the cheapest at $39.90, but I also liked the fact that it didn't have a clamp, just clever hook arrangement with the seat and seat post.

works great, needed to raise the seat in order to give it the leverage space and it doesn't have height adjust or tray for bits, but working great for me so far...

Refactored handlebar today...

Another great find - sticky tape :) Silicon self fusing tape (http://a.co/buowzTg). With constant pain of peripherals moving on the handle bars as the rotate / slide round, even fully tight. or in the case of the red extension, even the central grip worked it's way loose and out. So what I needed was some decent tape that would bond and have some decent grip. This stuff is great, different to get used to as it stretches, doesn't stick to much, but boy when it gets with it'self - yep it sticks, holds together and provides a nice slight grip surface to stop those rolling brackets.  It's not cheap @ $10 for 10ft - so gonna look for larger cheaper roll now, but it's certainly worth it so far - will keep eye on it over next couple of months while in use

Moving the brackets to the centre allowed them to be more perpendicular to the handlebar to help static grip. Added some silicon tape on the light also to stop them rolling around hopefully. With the vibrations, last week or two I managed to loose the plastic infil for the left bracket, so took some cut up garden hose, wrapped it and am trying that for the grip/padding.
