went to a bike night tonight in the Wirral. left a cloudy Manchester into brilliant sunshine. what a difference. Some cool bikes there and I took a pikky of a Yosh inspired GS. Racetech titanium pipes, electronic dash, must have spent !000's bike spewed oil out on the way home, no damage done but its too dark to check where. I have an idea though.

there's also Parcel Monkey and collectplus, which use your local open all hours shop to drop off parcels. Up to 10pm too. If you have something big, i just used Uship which is an online auction where couriers bid for the work. there is a charge for that, so make sure its passed on to the recipient.

i'll get me coat.....

I did a "how to" on xs400.com loads of info there

don't agree with this blog. saying its akin to wearing a seat belt WTF? no amount of reflective light emissions is going to stop motorists from seeing you, for one they need to have headlamps on. two they need to actually acknowledge you're there and three seatbelt - sticker, sticker - seatbelt, nope can't see a link read for your self http://getgearedforbikers.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/french-helmets-law-5-things-to-know.html

can I can i can I?

amazingly tranquil, before the Luftwaffe got their way

Bonkers Kitten or Kitten goes bonkers?

Amazing and the photographer has a lot of patience

even smokes like you

poss the lash needs setting on the clutch basket to primary gear. They are usually paired together with letter b or something

or maybe left one of the ignition caps off and its running on 3 cyls?

the collars you have there are widest to the front. the majority have them the other way round

I noticed you have the inverted collars. I have an NOS set if you fancy splashing out

decided to make a hot wire cutter tonight so I can carve the new seat foam. came out really well although it took 3 different chargers to find the right amperage

that's how they go, keeps the tension on the seals the nuts look overtightened to me too

neither do I

250 exhausts will fit either 400 or 250's. the engine are physically the same. for shocks just buy what takes your fancy bearing in mind that you need shocks with eyes on both ends to fit a 12mm bolt/stud.(measure to double check) watch you don't go too low or the wheel will rub inside the mudguard

thanks, still got to buy some neck bearings and swing arm bushes, brake rod and cables and other bits I can't recall ATM. Frame needs some work and then paint and a complete rewire with 12v electrics.

you've never lived then

little update; sent the forks hubs and rims to Manchester xtreme for new spokes and building, £130 = very cheap engine to be done next weekend if the weather is kind as I'm outside.

and your posting this in the new members welcome area because?........

is that for a coeliac?

quite impressed with that. looks like a cillit bang ad though

I use wellseal too, doesn't make a mess or squeeze goo into the cases.
