Sorry to here about your close encounter with the one of the many fuck heads of the world, gladly you come off lightly tho!
I never go out on a saturday or a sunday and if the missus kicks up a stink about going out i very reluctantly do venture out as the weekend drivers are complete fuck whits and will always do any thing possible to gain an extra metre in the que which causes problems.
On the bike i am even more careful and in town conditions im ALWAYS on the look out for Mr and Mrs fuck head, and if i come into contact with Mr and Mrs fuck head they normally loose there wing mirrors as they obvisously dont need them as i never see them use them! And talking on the phone......well lets just say they are lucky that i cant reach through windows......No wait.....Yes i can!

I too would suggest loosing weight and also changing sprocket size will be your first and cheapest mod to do first there after if your still not happy with the speed then pull ya finger out and get your full test done (unless your 16 which there for you cant)
Also as stated dont be too quickly offended with every thing that is said in here, (FRIENDLY top tip.... grow thicker skin! it helps in life!) start off in any forum or conversation with a "hello and a nice intro" to build up a little bit of respect THEN you can fire a few fucks back at people in a banter kind of way! i too am very new to the forum and still trying to get friendly with some of the guys but i dont go about in my second ever post telling some one to fuck off n keep there opinions to them self.... thats just not cricket! , so dont get all up in arms and get a wabbily bottom lip if they are a bit blunt or sarcastic with your posts.

A Klear mistake tho. sherly cant do it again lol

Welcome to the club Dirk whats up with the bike then? Pop up another thread in the customs section with a few pics for us the chew over and im sure we can help out.
-
Welcome to the club man, and well done for passing your test!
-
Very nice, where did you get that rear mudguard? It's exactly what I'm looking for.
Your best bet is on Ebay, just type in raw steel fender and there is a few on there with different widths. £45 excluding P&P
-
Check in the bike! i have done this many times! lol. if your lock smith cant cut you a key from the barrel them im afraid its a whole new barrle and key. start with ebay im sure you can get a decent priced one on there.

Early this morning i set out on the fun journey of the wiring loom, So armed with some masking tape and a pen i set out un plugging and marking up the plugs for safe keepings (i know they all have there own plugs etc) then it was onto removing the carbs, air filter and the yoke.
Removing the engine was next on the list but was a little harder to remove than i first though lol. i had to remove the plastic chrome heads just to un bolt the top front mounting brakets. But after another 25mins they where off and out came said engine.
Et Vala
so now onto cleaning the carbs and and the frame ready for paint and powder coating.
And so it begins!

Day two of the strip down and it started out with a trip to Lidi's for a set of axle stands £10 for a pair so i got two sets and they also had a set of rachet spanners! fantastic bit of kit! highly recommend that you get some if you havent only £20 and they are brilliant quality.
Took me a while to get going as takes some time to get her safly onto the axle stands but once she was up off came the battery box, little cubby hole on the left of the bike, fuel tank, rear wheel, gear shifter, swing arm and thats it so far. I had to shoot out to Halfrauds as i didn't have a 27mm socket for the swing arm! typical!
Well here she is in her current state.
Bit dirty behind the rear wheel lol
More dirt from under the fuel tank
And a quick cheesy shot
Up early again tomorrow to start taking more bits off.
-
Well here we go 1st day of stripping down the bike and so far i have done the following:
removed handle bars, Forks, exhaust, seat, head light, indicators, foot brake and speedo. Sadly im on a time limit so this is all i got done today but im getting up early so i can plod on i piece lol
I been having a slight rattle coming from my rear cylinder exhaust and when i removed it i noticed that the baffle was loose so i took it out (as im not putting them back in due to changing the style of them) and look what i found!
Shocking!!!!
differance between top pipe (broken one) and the bottom pipe!
One of them has a kind of fabric over it yet the broken one didn't??? its not stuck in the pipe so im not sure whats happened to it!?
Well i will crack on with it again tomorrow and im gunna remove the rear fender, wheel, swing arm and fuel tank.
Stay tuned
-
Cheers guys well just about to upload some more pics so hopefully it wont fuck up any more lol
-
O and about my spelling, if you guys spot any spelling mistakes your more than welcome to correct me i know its shocking some time but i am blessed with that dislexia thing (im worse with numbers lol) but im always happy to try and learn/be told where im wrong ;o)

Hi Guys,
This is one for the more technically advanced people than my self. just re-read my project page (to see whats been going on lol) and noticed the pictures are all to fuck, over lapping each other and peoples posts aren't in order? is this just because my works computer is shit and its just me seeing it like that or can you guys see it like this and means there some thing wrong with my thread?

Regards
Keith

Hi Kev Great to see that the bobber bug is catching! have you decided on if its gunna be a rat bike or a pretty bike? if it going rat then it will be more softer on you wallet as you can leave rust on the bike etc (as you prob already know) but if you want shiney bits id carry on stripping her down and take off the paint on the frame and re-paint with halfraurds rattle can.
chop you front mud guard down to size. or if your feeling brave re-move it (i took mine off as it completes the look) just remember to put it back on for your MOT.
You can get a nice raw steel fender off ebay for £45 + p&p which you can then turn into your own fender or if you can find one alot of relly old cars spare wheels had a metal cover you could turn into a reallt coll retro fender!
Also to add to your list (long term) would be a set o fire stone tyres! as shown in your 1st pic!
Keep up the work dude and hope to see more pics soon.

Aint had a transit yet........got a BMW and two Saxo's so the collection is growing lol

I personally think that there should be more Shock tacktics via adverts both with Bikes and kids being hit by cars! They had one that put the shitters up me with that bloke seeing that kids that he hit and at the end it just said "its 30 for a reason" (or somthing like that) but i aint seen it for a long time now.
If you scare the fuck out of people then they get the message, same if some one tries to steal my bike or car or damage any thing of mine i wouldn't hit them as such i would just simply "correct" them in there ways! lol
I will not wear high vis clothing if the weather conditions are perfect EG clear skies, dry and visibility is good! if car drivers are too dim whitted and incapable of looking past there own fucking snout then in my mind they shouldnt be on the road and i will not be told its my fault for not wearing day glow yellow jacket trousers boots and helmet (o and for not owning a ford RS orange bike)
Your servey is good but as stated above i think you need multiple answers, but apart from that i hope you get what your after out of it!
-
I would have at least made an effort to kick her f**king car! but saying that i have got a nice collection of wing mirrors building up in my bin as i find that "most" cars drivers dont need them/use them so i help out with there little problem by removing them (PRICKS!)

Why is a Pork pie like a Grannies Fanny.........?
Because you have to bit the crust, suck out the jelly before you get to see the meat!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How do you know that you have a high sperm count?
Cause your missus has to chew before she swallows.

Good choice with the screen! ha-ha! no personal dig to those who have but i HATE looking at bikes with the highway hawk of custom shrome catalogue plastered all over them! waste of time and money in my opinion and a screen!! well thats just the stupid cherry on top of the shit hill.
Getting back to your pegs i will have a look through my haynes manuel tonight after work to see if there is any thing in there about this switch gear and to see if it complicates the change over (unless some one is at home now with a manuel that can help out?)
Im always hitting my pegs on round abouts and some times on corners but im gunna get my mate to spin some new pegs up on his laith that are a bit shorter so that i can solve that problem. Dont let it bother you nothing will happen just looks fucking awsome with sparks following you round every bend lol
-
Regarding clips ons - thats might help with my bulk - but am really enjoying the bike and have not managed to get over 80 yet but then do I need to with the wind blast and I hate the cruiser screens.
Lol Clip ons are a long term joke between me and my mate at work as he is fitting a set of clip on bars to his Buell n i said i should do the same........IF you design a chopper right and you have the back bone for it you can fit clip ons to a cruser (check out Russ Mitchells Exile chopper range)
Yes a screen will help with the human sail effect to a certain degree but they are also a brick in design as stream lining gose but im sure you can get a smart small one like the ones some triumph rocket 3's have (if you want a screen that is?)
All down to personal taste mate.....im into bobbers thus i remove every thing thats not needed. (hey i even ran my bike with no indecators, just point to where im going) loosing the crap as said will give you more grunt for free!
Just my 2p
-
Et walla!
Cheaper this way as if you pay a guy to make them for you it will cost just the same then your gunna have to heat paint them which will cost you more. As you want them to be a nice finish your gunna want them TIG welded which takes more time thus costs more in labour, then the cost of the pipe plus cost of bending (labour basically)
The pipes with out the price tag are the ones i was gunna get at £330 but then i dun my test and got my 650.
-
Welcome to the club (i would stick up a intro in the new bee section of the site tho if i was you just to be nice and what not)
As for your questions.
Yes floor boards can be removed and replaced with pegs, my 650 custom had floor boards and other bollocks fitted and only took 5mins to do.
DONT drill your pipes! keep them and save up your dosh as when it comes for an MOT you will be shown the middle finger with after market pipes and standard pipes with holes in, i know they are shit but its for a reason.....keep looking on Ebay, i go my pipes for £100! nothing wrong with them but they are gunna have a different look by next year.
And as for BHP sadly these bikes cant really be tuned apart from the above from Fearless Joe, get new pipes and a rejet but the BIG diffence you can make to the performance.........DONT READ THE HIGHWAY HAWK CATALOGUE! get rid of every optional extra that you dont need! just like stripping out a race car, looseing weight will increase power to weight ratio thus making you go faster! my bike will easily do 95! till i get a head wind that is lol also with standard bars and with it being a cruser your riding possition is the same as a boats sail so one bit of wind will slow you down, so i would suggest fitting clip one bars lol (na only joking) but your riding possition will hindor your performance.
All the best

Fantastic rider who was and would have been as big as lorenzo and rossi! Qualifying will never be the same and nor will the start of any race! He was the one who luaghed at health and safty to a sertain extent which made lorenzo and those alike say he was dangerous (which he was now and then) but he did it in a way that made us love him! we all like a rogue and it just so happened to be a poodle headed spanish bloke! lol
RIP Marco our thoughts are with your family and race team!

Maybe........Maybe not lol
