  1. Bloody hell jonny that's one hell of a top box reminds me of one I knocked up for a ap50 nearly 40 years ago while working at a cider canning factory at the end of the day the boss put all over or under filled cans on a big pallet and you could help yourself !
  2. Jonny stay away from the chinky shit I bourght a Suzuki 100erz for my 14 year old boy It hadn't been run for 10 years but some new fuel and a couple of kicks and it was ticking over a year done the line it's still trucking ! Would prefer a push bike to a chiinky bike good luck bro
  3. Love your post drewpy made me laugh mate ! at Ieast i was having trouble with iPads rather than asking advice on how tight a spark plug should be eh ! give me a spanner any day bud been to see the guy I bourght my project from today he said there were lots of bits that he had somewhere and he would dig them out for me well 3 months on and he still hasn't found them he said he would ring if he finds them a familiar story I have heard a few times ! Will post some photos Sunday after work the suspense must be killing you lol!
  4. Lads I know this isn't a picture of a Yamaha but in the circumstances I think it's appropriate! As I have spent way to many hours trying to post some pictures anyway this is how I sussed it in the end I read photobuckets website and surprise surprise it had how to post images to flaming forums I was trying to paste image text into the URL insert other media box but they said paste the direct link into the URL insert other media box and hey flaming presto it worked!

  7. Hi drewpy I joined photobucket .com I think I was having trouble pasting from the iPad and that's why I only pasted phobucket to my post . I have selected a image in my photobucket library then pressed copy then gone to insert other media then pressed insert image from URL then pasted it . It shows the URL http image text in red and the cursor just whirls any advice before I throw the iPad down the toilet! Cheers rich ps blackhat would have completely rebuilt one his 400s in the time it's taken me not to post some photos!

  17. Thanks for your help Paul still trying to work out how to get a v 5 without jumping through hoops ! I was hoping this bike was going to be a keeper will post some photos soon iam a technophobe so will ask the kids for help now I know the frames a 125 it looks like yz125 airbox is the same as it125 easier to source maybe still wondering if your dt box would be a better bet when you said maybe problematic did you mean space or just no lugs to fit to anyway will brave the frozen wasteland that is my garage this weekend how often do you guys have ride outs and are they ever in the southwest? thanks again for your time and cool advice rich

  19. The bike hasn't been on the road no v5 or plate really don't mind a q plate is it really tricky to get it registered because it's got the makings of a good machine and I was just wondering what year the engine was for ordering parts cheers rich
  20. I know that feeling your doing great on a shoestring budget think there is a tv series in you mate Jonnys kitchen table bike build on a shoe string! Way better than that Henry cole bloke !
  21.
