  1. I tried motorbike maintenance on them and got an old crashed suzuki custom thing donated they basically wrecked it, didn 't know how to turn a spanner. Kids today eh!
  2. can i see pocked holes on the bores or is that a dirty lens? I can't see any honing meself, best way is to measure and check gaps
  3. no access now and against POR it was, tbh its holding, but I'll change it over just checked the parts book and there's no return spring listed bit wierd
  4. did anyone go last year? thought not, its not the same watching bikes from a distance on a big open field.
  5. well I started it tonight, I took pictures but your not seeing them yet whilst tightening up the alloy top yolk about 5 mins later i heard a crack, the alloy had cracked. I didn't over tighten so I can only assume it had fatigued. Luckily I have the steel top yolk that came with the forks so I'll use that. looking for the bloody return spring for the rear brake lever now, I had it, I did,! but where the feck is it? should finish the main build tomorrow evening and I'll have to push it back home then as the hut is in use for air rifle practise. (we have a competition this weekend)
  6. may have taken out the side stand switch/wiring too
  7. its great vapour blasting. Its very time consuming hence the price. At least the cases are done as barrels can be easily sorted via the dishwasher
  8. that wasn't good! make sure all the oil ways are clear then Tommy I would clean the mesh oil strainer too.

  11. those seat cowls fetch ££$$ worth the foggy drive
  12. been working all day on the peripheral paintwork today. I used the scout hut which has a really powerful heater set to 20'c = bloody hot anyway all done and I'm going to build the bike in the hut I think, as its not being used till Wednesday.
  13. what if you had shiny shoes and you were checking them out near the bike. Now you can see under the bike then what?

  18. your burger bike was on there. a couple of xs400's were on there from the xs400 forum
