  5. shame, you missed a cracking ride. seeing 100's of bikes stretched along the motorway as far as you can see was something else. tried my cruiser pegs as an alternative to the standard set up. very comfy
  6. you taking over the yellow mellow mantle now John?
  7. well I went on my own, weather was great if a little windy on the ride. squires ride out, ended in chaos as no-one knew were they they ending up not even the marshalls. I passed them on the way back from Lymm (turned out they went to the AJ Bell stadium near me. tank made from street sign good little show at Lymm.
  8. leaving Mcd's in Urmston at 8am, hopefully enough time for a brew in oil can cafe before squires
  9. yep, weather permitting, may even go to the vjmc show in Lymm afterwards. It depends on how long it takes to get to Manchester
  10. good to hear Tommy. Thinking of doing Squires to Manchester run Sunday, you fancy it?
  11. Charity ride in aid of the victims of the Manchester Arena bombing. Organised by Ride of Honour in association with Michael Rawson. There will be a £5.00 donation with all proceeds going to the victims families. Meeting at Squires Cafe from 9.00am and setting off to Manchester at 11.00am approx. The ride will be fully marshalled by Squires Motorcycle Marshals and on this occasion is NOT an L plate friendly route. The route will go from Squires, travelling on the M62, down Deansgate in Manchester and then on to a pre arranged gathering place arranged by Manchester Police for the funds handover. This is the only charity motorcycle ride being allowed by Manchester police to take place in Manchester city centre. Any further questions, please contact Ride of Honour via message or Michael Rawson on 07503 719007.

  15. Hi Gollum, tried these? http://www.xs650shop.de/front_content.php?idcat=3 http://www.hughshandbuilt.com/product/hhb-xs650-motor-mount-kit-74/ http://www.heidentuning.com/p/36/25/mo74-cg|27=3/screws-bolts-%26amp%3B-washers http://store.speedandsportinc.com/
  16. aye, pics please good review, be careful to keep the rear footpegs, they'll be needed when you take it for an MOT if you still have the rear seat
  17. vapour blasting is great, get your carbs done too. no idea where you live as you didn't complete your location details on the left. so can't help with a local supplier
  18. Gollum that's upsetting, can you start a new thread in classics please? this is intro's only and Ilook forward to giving some answers in your new thread as I'm sure most peeps would want to help
  19. just an update of what I've been doing in prep for the trip fitted a scottoiler today put on some cruiser footrests for the long straights neoprene splash guard fitted new bearings in wheels, swingarm and powder coated and oilite bush in bottom of shock
  20. to the YOC TRX is a great bike, Tommy and I met a guy with one at the IOM classic TT a few years ago. Mind you I have a TDM with the same engine, just doesn'y go round corners as well
  21. so long as they introduce themselves first
  22. got a scottoiler really cheap off facebook. still have the parts, just never got round to assembling them.
  23. Haynes etc recommend new bolts as they stretch really easily.
  24. I belive the dimple metal plates wemoto sell are good to. helps them not stick when cold but still grip.
