Latelifecrisis Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Hi, having read what some want in a newbie threat I will do my best to post that in here. inches = don't have any location = atm mostly in the garage or the bike wreckers searching for bits and pieces rides = yep have a few of them only 2 run atm the rest are either on the way out the door (the smallest scooter I own Eaglewing 150 trying to find a new home for it) or waiting to be worked on. I just bought a xj 750 that needs a tiny bit of work and as a bonus it came with a second 750 ( this turned out to be a 900 ) for spare parts. Both of those have matching numbers and I will eventually put the 900 on the road too. And somewhere in this whole mess I have a FJ 1100 that is getting a complete resto and I am just waiting on parts to arrive from the UK. The biggest challenge is that blokes do not understand female part descriptions, but I am determined to overcome this hurdle. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only rolled your eyes? wow you are used to this, I am used to gettting a " you are a total moron " look I know it's not a nutsplitter, no idea what you really call it it's just one of those plier things the kind you can really clamp down hard and it stays in place. ( not his favourite tool to bring me ...lol ) and yes you do have the crashbars right I wanted to make mine look nice and shiny again, but can't find them so I guess have to have new ones made.

Failte to the YOC (nut house) yep he does hand me tools when I am working on the bike and he is iddle since he is waiting for his parts to arrive or me to clear out of his painting corner. ( no I do not paint,just took over the corner). I have bought him enough hobbies to keep hi busy for the next 25 years, which keeps him nicely out of my hair and I am able to muck around and swear in peace.

neversaydie Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 sure Brisbane , Aus Wow, warm sunshine. Yes please. Welcome to the Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latelifecrisis Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 Wow, warm sunshine. Yes please. Welcome to the Forum I think wow warm rain would be a much better description. We are drowning and more rain is on it's way. If this were snow we would beat them poms by at least 50 cm. Ok I am off to the wreckers once again, lets see if I can get a better result today since I am bringing " samples"...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latelifecrisis Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 Well I finally managed to tear up one of his tools, but that is what you get when you buy the tiny things. Now I can play with the new shiny thing, its the tools you clean the crud out of the cylinder. All 4 are now nice and shiny once again. Gaskets have been ordered from the US that should only take 3 weeks or so to get here. I just bought a set of fairings and a new set of gauges ( speedo, tach) they should get here next week. Slowly but surely it's comming along, just need to find a few more minor bits and I am all set as far as I can tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
