  5. i did in me tracker log. but here it is again....
  6. you know you do have to service your bike every now and then!!! never go motorway if can help it. Have you tried fuse box? loose fuses can shift cutting out!! met Blackhat 250 and his mate sy and had a good chat, weather was good and so was the show and autojumble. there was loads of NOS yammy stuff cheap if you knew the part #'s. even saw a NOS TX/XS 500 wiring loom, £40
  7. its a handmade tank made with thick steel. I need to fill welds and even things up/straighten things out
  8. I wouldn't if i were you John weather looks good tomorrow ie its not raining! just been to the eccles Rock festival 12:30 to 10:30 for a tenner, great day/night; state of Quo, guns 2 roses, experience, heatseeker (acdc),zztops and a few i can't remember.
  9. Right peeps, had my tank de-rusted form these guys and it came back yesterday. now I am sealing it tomorrow night and then letting it cure for 48 hours. the question is, they put a phosphor coating on the steel (assuming its to stop the rot) and the guy said to paint it asap. I need to put filler on the tank to get the proper profiles etc. now the question (get on with it dewpy!) 1) do i apply filler over the phosphor coating 2) sand (ie key) the metal first, then fill 3) spray etching primer on over the phosphor and then fill 4) sand the tank, paint then fill any thoughts?

    looks like standard yam parts bin on the starter. xs400/250 certainly, ebay has the buttons!

    if the foam has gone , you can get new foam and cut it yourself and then get it upholstered. RK leighton in UK does upholstery and I bet any general upholsterer worth their salt would be able to foam and recover!!
  13. yep, just don't drop them in there

    you meet all the nice girls on a bike
  15. bloody computer, the connections crap and I thought it didn't go through adjusters are cheap enough, I'd give it a go
  16. I think john was talking fantasy writers. G R R martin writes amazing (and complicated) stories.
  17. does sound noisy, could be that there is wear on the adjusters squewing the gaps (ie its dished, but your feelers are measuring the crown of the wear)
  18. already sold the film rights to the 1st book, great read.
  19. i'm going wid me mate, he's on a cb750 F1 leaving eccles @ 8am via manchester to stalybridge. holfirth, wakefield, garforth then lotherton.
  20. does sound loud, could be wear in the adjusters causing wrong readings. The adjuster ends hammers the top of the valve stem and it dishes, causing you to measure the crown of the depression but not the actual gap drewps
  21. waiting for his next tome, "a dance with dragons" to come out, its only been 2 years overdue try reading Peter V Brett, warded man (painted man in UK) fantastic first book and his second one, just as good
