drewpy

usually have to strip before vapour blasting A guy local to me charges £10 an hour and does it in his shed

get the part numbers off speed sport and google them there was loads of front engine mounts in germany ( no import duty as we are still in EU)

i got a small bush for the lower shock with a couple of oil seals. posted on tuesday came week after friday on a 48 hour delivery (royal mail) taking the piss

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/

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

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

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

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

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

so long as they introduce themselves first

got a scottoiler really cheap off facebook. still have the parts, just never got round to assembling them.

Haynes etc recommend new bolts as they stretch really easily.

I belive the dimple metal plates wemoto sell are good to. helps them not stick when cold but still grip.

Thanks Slice, I have a few staff off who were affected, my son was in Manchester last night but in the student quarter. He came home late last night before I knew what was happening.

done, good luck

yes, as they still use carbs. it attacks brass and rubber

prob need a new coila nd HT lead as they are normally bonded in.

nope

i do use the super unleaded in the vain hope it doesn't have ethanol in it

built onto my insurance, just told them I will be abroad, no problem they said.

there's a thread somewhere on this forum about helping other peeps and from which area? have a search and see if you can find it
