Middle of January, found out that it has now finally been dispatched and had a big appoligy from him.
Just hope it get here for Friday so i can get on it

So all is going well she's starting to look more like a bike again but I'm stuck, still waiting on the seat unit to arrive and so far the tracking info states that it's had two failed collections as the parcel wasn't packed and the other one was that the sender wasn't at the unit to open up shop! So a slightly snotty email sent stating I want it dispatched tomorrow if not I shall be naming and shaming him.

God Ive been looking everywhere for that card, Just printed two out just so I got one spare haha.

I have some where on my Bobber project page, but here is a video where you can see them (my for sale video

Yer one respistor per bulb, where the LED draw way less current than a normal bulb does if you just fit one resistor yout have three really fast indicators and one normal one haha.
Thankfully we haven't had any snow darn sarf for ages, don't really want it either haha.

What you could do is loosen all the engine mounts,(take wheels and forks out) put blocks of wood under the frame so as that the engine drops slightly down into the frame which will give you some extra top clearance to get them off.
|I never put them back on when i rebuilt Betty, looks much more mechanical without them

Im pretty sure it was ITV1, it was on Tuesday night at 2100hrs called car crash britain or something like that.
Sorry had a couple of Jack Dan's and fell asleep at 2030hrs last night so not much was saved on my internal memory after that time. I'll get the wife to check and confirm as i had it on record.

Just seen you on TV Ian! Very good interview on both sides! And good to see you washed the bike too haha
-
Take the top of them off, swear like fuck and pull the top out (may occur scratches) then undo the 4 bolts holding the lower part in and again swear like fuck and take them out.
Easy haha

You just need to get some in line resistors to slow down the blink rate if you can't find a LED resistor for the viggy. on my Draggy i got some 0.9ohm (i think it was that) resistors from work, soldered wire on each end and added a bullet connector, heat shrinked it all and put them on then plugged the LED indicator onto that and it worked fine untill i pulled them off again and just rode with no indicators at all.

Make sure your chains are off the ground, doing this means that they will have to use their puny crack ridden arms to squeeze the bolt croppers rather than using the ground to there advantage and using their body weight to snap the chain.

So sorry to hear this buddy, if i was closer or had my bike on the road i'd be down to give you a hand. might also be worth buying a cover for it as well (if not already got one) as if they can't see what you got then they normally just leave it.
Scary thing is tho is that as they have done it once, they may do it again once she's fixed up so try and get her out of view and some where harder to fuck about with.
Good luck with it mate and if you ever need a hand you know where we are, even if we cant be at your door we are all hear for written help.
-
Absolutley brilliant. No other words for it buddy. really looking forward to the other videos and the XVS650 your planning on doing.

Haynes motor musium have a few shows on but not sure on when and whats on at the moment
-
Its not that hard but it takes some effort as it not like the xvs1100 where half the frame comes out to aid removal and install.
You need to undo all the bolts, take off the plastic covers on the top of the rockers, romove carbs and exhaust. then take the motor out with the prop shaft coming out last (so remove it from the right hand side of frame)
Tilt the front cylinder out and almost rotate the engine around as you lift it out (front exhaust port coming out 90 degrees from frame)
Hopefully this makes some sense????
-
Better the devil you know, keep your bike and wait for a better bike to come up that needs less - no work. sounds like this FZR is a pile of shit and no onder this bloke wants to trade yours for his.
Also if your planning on staying with the YOC its nice to see an intro in the new members section
-
Now that is really cool!
-
Only a short 2 hr ride down the 303 haha
-
I know what you mean bud, if I could I'd mount it on the side like I did with Betty, but sadly that's the only place it can go so I can see it.
Might look better when the rest of the front end is on????
-
All new bits n bobs fitted today.
And two coats of British racing green with a black base coat ready for flatting and gloss, ignore the fag ash
-
Cool, well I'm sure we will see how they stand up to all weather use in the coming months I spose.
Going to try and get a few hours build time in tonight and tomorrow I'll grit blast the fuel tank and get it ready for paint.
