Hell, that is one NICE bike!

Welcome and happy hunting!

Never had no Mod 1 & 2 in my time...there was just an examiner hiding around corners and ticking boxes on a clipboard hehehe. Big congratz on the pass!

I have Silvertail pipes on my 1100 drag Bomber....and I luv 'em, well recommended. Welcome to the YOC!

Spare wires probably won't solve your problem here...if you think the problem has to do with wiring then fit a new loom and take matters from there.

Howdy doody and welcome.

Hello and welcome Tim

For surface rust on chrome I use tin foil and spit (saliva), it sounds pretty gross but trust me it works a treat. Once it's all nice and shiny again I give the chrome a very thin coating with vaseline (not on the exhausts of course) if I'm going to ride in wet conditions,,,just make sure it's washed and polished once a week and things should be ok ........what I find to be even better than tin foil is "silver paper", the most effective being the interior wrapping found in cigarette packets, but only the silver wrapping, not the gold (doesn't work at all)!

Looks like a great project! ...I favour the first post by oldbikerehab, it would make a NICE cafe cruiser!

Am jealous (this weather s*cks)...so hey, enjoy! (if you can)

Hello and to the forum

Welcome to the forum (I'm new here myself)....and as for the new bike, all I can say is a big NICE!

I'd be sorely tempted to replace as many engine components as I could afford to on this, and well worth it too...it could be a combination of probs,. Wot a project of the heart tho'!!

Hello and welcome, James.... Nice bike

Hello and welcome to the YOC mitch

Welcome to the forum! It'll have a power band but just a thought, has it in any way been governed at some point?

My pal recently put his bike into a “reputable” motorcycle garage (been in business for 50+ years) for various reasons, and to cut a long story short, the damn “mechanic” had re-fitted the fuel valve the wrong way round (no offence to ANY mechanics, it can happen). He’d travelled about 4 miles before the engine cut out….and that was after driving 3 miles home then taking it out next day. Sry, I can't add anything else to the suggestions in the above post.

Starting to rain the white stuff here too, tho' it doesn't really bother me usually....it's the damn ice that forms underneath on the roads that the council don't deem as a priority to grit that annoys me big time.... oh, and the best of lucky with the MOT Airhead!

Lolz, I count three bulbs and one smoke alarm

Hello and welcome (I'm new here myself)....and that is one VERY nice cruiser coach, Happy riding!

awww man, I almost soiled myself laffing at that!

Thanks DirtyDT.... and congratz on the forum everyone, it's cracking!

Yeah, it does Sacha, the only stipulation was that there was room for her on pillion.. Hahah...that made me laugh wild foamy..lolz Thanks for the welcomes..

Good point Ryan09, I tend to think they do rely on our laziness in order to make more profit! Here's the thing too, I insured online and after all the usual Q's and A's....I checked my policy and was confused to learn that I'm only insured for overnight theft if the bike is kept in the secured garage pertaining to the post code I provided. Needless to say, I really do have to give them a phone (holidays etc,) Always prudent to double check everything....

Thanks Airhead, and you're absolutely spot on about the mrs...I suppose I'll need to tell her that more often now! Hey, hey, it sure is blackhat...I must be doing something right after all, lolz.. Thanks bippo, and she even got a leather jacket and salopettes (behind my back, I might add)..she put them on to show me too Ach, too much information! hahah Thank you, for the warm welcome
