The Stone KZread channel follow's my love for motorcycles, cars, big boys toys & a few cool creations in the workshop.

If you've flicked through a few of the video's it should be clear I'm a pretty big petrol head with an un-healthy obsession with BMW M-Cars, old sports bikes, a little Renault Sport Clio 172 Cup "wanna be race car" and a few creations from the garage.

Subscribe to keep up with the latest adventures, don't forget to follow the new Facebook & instagram pages to see all the behind the scenes action!

    coming along nicely. I find brining the fork up through the tripples about 4 - 5mm sharpens the steering a tad. This is on the stock rear shock that sags too much. Micht befine on the upraded shock you have

    Finally I've found someone who agrees with me 100% regarding the e46 M3 sound. Every aftermarket exhaust completely ruins the sound of that fantastic I6, they became simply too raspy to appreciate.

    I am wondering, the engine of this bike is four cylinders. Is that means that that the engine fires in every 90 degrees, or there is cylinders firing in the same time? Can someone explain it to me?

    How's the call quality on this unit in your experience? I upgraded from the previous model with an external microphone to this model, to try and improve call quality but callers are reporting a terrible echo on their end of the phone. Are you experiencing the same?

    Not sure what year your E46 is but mine was 2004.5 model and the CSL SMG software came with M mode for the traction control which was excellent and much less intrusive than standard traction control

    Enjoy Assen, been twice. Watch your security there though, keep your bike locked with a lock through the back wheel and keep your valuables in the bottom of your sleeping bag if you're camping. I had my phone and wallet nicked from inside my tent while I was asleep and I've heard of bikes being nicked and revved til they blow in the past. It's still a great trip though.

    Retrobright the windscreen. Its not a product its a process. There are videos that explain it better than I can but basically its soaking it in hydrogen peroxide while using UV lights. It removes all the yellowing and you wont risk melting or burning by trying to machine polish it back to clear after sanding.

    You really getting through this build now mate and the screen you thought about giving it a light tint with some tint spray so takes your eyes away from the fading maybe a light tint enough to get rid of the fading colour but keep up the hardwork mate you doing great and with having a life and working i know you can struggle fitting everything in

    Looks great! As a former PSV fitter we didn't use easy outs' often but choose to drill and tap as the better method! as easy outs more often broke and created more problems! If you respray the fairing / seat couling simple silver black with your new c/helmet logos
