  2. Jim they do not come like that but develop that vintage look very quickly. i dunno how old that was it was one of a pair i got attached to some suzi Gn250,s one my daughter used to ride and i got a good secondhand gen one from Germany for it and the other i just broke for spares, I dunno what happened to the other one merv

    Brake disc bolts

    I reckon OG is right you will be there a bloody long time with a soldering iron,after all they are only meant to heat electrical connectors, small flame on a blow torch was what i used, merv
  6. Did ya hear about the rich man that went to heaven, he managed to persuade St Peter too let him in with some of his bars of gold in his hand, he was wondering why St Peter was asking what do you want to take the in for, he got inside and everyone asked him why he was carrying paving slabs around

    Brake disc bolts

    in my case a bloody good thrash with an impact driver would not shift em heat is the answer on disc boltsat the end of the day
  8. Ok look with what jim is saying let me post a pic of the 120 mm one i have it sold on bay recently but i have not been paid yet so it is still here, then you can judge for yourself if it is any good merv
  9. jim The piccy is as it comes,it is not meant to be a replica guard, it is a universal mudguard nothing at all like anything else really, although from a distance Stevie Wonder could mistake it for a RD mudguard, but it would get a bike through an mot and keep it on the road, you have to drill your own holes in the brackets, and they do rust quite well if not cared for Merv
  10. Alec are you after originality or do yo just want to get on the road. thismudguard may do the trick from M&P £25 Merv
  11. who the Feck did that Alex harvey and gareth hunt on the same bill, no brainer that combo, thats like putting ozzy osborne in with an opera singer

    Brake disc bolts

    I think they are fitted with a good loctite, soaking is a good plan but may not help in this case, I had the same problem with removing a front disc from my TDR recently and my son the same with some bandit wheels he got , it was fitted with allen bolts and no amount of thrashing with a impact driver would free the bolts, so i heated the bolts and they came out reasonably easily then, no need for oxy acetlylene kits or red heat just a normal blow torch with a small flame and heat the head of the bolt gently and mind your tyres and paint,
  13. fit a waterproof socket simples
  14. not too mention Honor Blackman. kinky boots
  15. all yous guys if yuo cannot get the reed number from yamaha then get VJMC or yamaha to give you a dating certificate stating the year of manufacture and you will get en age related plate, go too the VJMC website too find out more, it will have to be taken too a DVLA office to be inspected, dont worry it is not a tough mot thing iti s just to check the bike is what you say it is, they check the frame and engine numbers are correct
  16. next we will find they get free bog rolls every time they have a shit i reckon merv
  17. do not just go for the (under 125) smaller bike test though it will cost just as much and you may find one day that a bigger bike will take your fancy,I love my RD250 it is good fun too ride, but the plodding pulling power of the 650 single is better for longer distances and everyday use plodding along in top gear all day without having too change gear merv
