  1. Steve Can you post a video, that'll help others hear exactly what you're hearing
  2. Cheers bud, and it gives me more time to peruse this and other forums seeing pics of folk out on their bikes Here's a wee memory for you Drewps
  3. Well I'm out. 'No surprise there' a few of the regulars will think. But.....this year I have the perfect, if totally unwanted, excuse. Back in early December I ended up contracting a rare brain infection, autoimmune encephalitis which resulted in me taking a full seizure and spending Xmas in hospital, and I'm going back in this Monday because my treatment plan is not as effective as the Drs hoped it would be. Anyway long story boring, I've had to surrender my licence and the neurologist said he won't support a return for at least 9 months. I've also had to stick in for IHR at work as he won't support a return there either. Positive being he believes a good recovery will happen so not all doom and gloom. Happy to keep involved with the forum so keep this about the 22 meet.
  4. Welcome to the forum matey. As Snakebite says, we love photos, so please post plenty of your build
  5. Lewis I find your description quite vague (although that may well be me, so no offence meant) but can you post pictures of the issue. Do the cables and wires connecting to the switches not fit, are they too short or just a completely incorrect fixing. Is it the bars that are too wide meaning you have to try and stretch the cables and wires. If so try a narrower set of bars on it. That way you can at least get some fun out of it whilst you try and address the issue. You can get brake hoses and throttle/clutch cables made to suit and if your competent with wires (or know someone who is) you can extend the wiring connections. As I say on every intro post I answer, we like photos and they can help folk (me) understand the issues reported
  6. Tom Welcome to the forum bud. Photos, we love photos
  7. Welcome to the forum bud. Feel free to post as much as you can, with photos, we like photos
  8. Welcome to the forum bud. A good bunch of guys and gals on here, tho sometimes it may take a few days to get an answer, but bear with us. Safe riding and good luck with your das
  9. A good manual is invaluable if you plan on getting to know your bike. They are great for building your knowledge, confidence and experience which will be used throughout your biking/motoring life
  10. You need to pick up a manual whether it is a cheap Haynes or a full workshop manual. You could probably get an online version, but being an auld fud, I prefer hard copies.
  11. Sorry to hear of your troubles bud, but glad you seem to be coming back from them. As finnerz said, a lot of the auld faces still pop in, but it has been a lot quieter of late. Hopefully pick up again as the weather improves, so people posting pics and stories of their rides/adventures etc
  12. Ah, ok mate. Probably still worthwhile dm'ing Lee and raise your concerns. A few folk on here have spoke well of him and his help/advice
  13. Can't answer your question bud, but contact "Lee@Bikesure" who is a member of this forum and I'm sure he'll be able to assist Welcome to the forum anyway
  14. Welcome to the forum bud. I am certainly interested in your project and look forward to regular updates and loads of phoaties included
  15. Good update bud, glad you're still enjoying the bike
  16. Good on you Scotty, welcome to the forum. It goes through periods of inactivity so don't get despondent if it takes a day or so to get responses to any questions
  17. Welcome to the forum bud. We are simple folk who like photos, lots of photos.
  18. Welcome to the forum bud. Good luck with the test, and safe riding
  19. Welcome to the forum bud. Never been on a TDM, but have read and saw a few of Drewpys adventures on his. Sound great bikes
  20. Looking good bud. A few of the auld heads on here have done a few projects. @ Drewpy one of the moderators has a very detailed thread on his xs flat-tracker, well worth a read but make sure you have a cuppa with you as you'll lose an hour or so easily. Whilst yams are my favoured non Brit bike, I'm more a Triumph dude, and have built a couple of auld yins, the last one I done was a 59 Speedtwin, so no thread on here . I have a 75 T160 that is an ongoing labour of love. Enjoy the forum mate, and remember the more you post, the better the turnover
  21. Nice bitsa mate. If you have notes and pics, start a thread in the projects page to help encourage others Welcome to the forum bud
  22. Cheers bud, but it is a byproduct of the forum that folk will always offer help. No doubt any other advice ref the bike will be quickly sorted by the very knowledgeable folk on here. Welcome to the forum, and keep contributing

    Good morning, happy new year and welcome to the group. There may not be a specific thread on what you want, but you should start one, asking your initial questions, that way folk can answer your queries. The thread will then grow naturally as you add progress updates and photos. Good luck
  24. Not sure of code, but RS Bike Paints list the colour, and sell it
