  1. there was, in a chaps cottage he converted a forge i think it was. not there now, in fact all of Combe Martin has changed to Combe Martin retirement village. Only Monicas shop left and all the local characters have all died and replaced with daytime telly watchers!
  2. to the YOC, put any bike problems in classic or workshop sections as that's where most of the help will be.

  5. couldn't find any in Combe Martin. I was prob too fast for him to take a picture. I used to watch Alex Buckingham race his 250 bike as he used to spanner in Ilfracome where I was a butcher. Used to buy my tyres etc from him.
  6. great pics, can you post a link?
  7. do you know that the chain has tight spots? you need to rotate the rear wheel and tug on the longest part (usually lower) till its the tightest and then adjust it there.
  8. thought you intimated you'd rebuilt the bike! if someone else had fully rebuilt it, then surely they could fix it? my money is on sticking throttle or the carb needs cleaning as the bike is running weak and you have a partial blockage. the symptoms are that revs rise when the engine is warm.
  9. Eric, share a tent with blackhat and you'll know all about windy city first hand!
  10. the spoking bits OK if you have YouTube (oh you don't use it now!) its the tensioning bit that I'm not quite sure on!
  11. did a search and came up with this 1980 XS1100G 3X1-000101 Diamond Silver 1981 XS1100H 3X1-003101 Black Red handlebars are aftermarket, seat recovered
  12. Manchester Miv 36 marriages? that's some going!
