great, not worried, just a pain. good job i'm off this week

done the anti freeze and got the rad fan going, made a funny noise till i realised it was chewing through its wire AARRGH! so 2 steps forward 1 step back the horn's not working now so need to check that out too. getting there, sloowwwly

lockjing this. We don't want resto threads in welcome section. as BH says start in Project

Never heard of one till someone gave me one to "repair" Its a german made guitar and the firm went bump in 1970 something From what I can gather its an archtop model with a single pickup. Its been well played as the fretboard has worn little grooves in it from the strings twanging. Anyhow i've order flat wound chrome strings and repaired the pickup wiring. Any one know what model it is, I've no sticker in there and have emailed the Framus museum the picture to see if they know what it is.

I got some copaslip type stuff from proctor and gamble, had it for a few years and its seems really good. used on all my bikes since 2006 not on the tdm, fairing off, cooling system out then the cam box can come off. as its a 270' crank tdc is ok on one then its a guess on t'other. I used cable ties on the chain and sprockets, but they still slipped

just been and finished the valves on the bike. I messed up the timing (may still have) and had to start from scratch. did a test frun and she fired right up. I snapped 2 exhaust studs off as I thought they needed changing I tried to use my usual "weld a nut" but the buggers were fusion welded in there so had to drill out. bit scary and broke 4 bits as the studs were heat treated due to heat cycling and hardening. One stud i had to buy an 8mm helicoil kit. I was spot on in the end and the exhaust system is back on. just need to flush the cooling system out and refill with antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor and get it ready for the Norton factory visit on the 24th with Tommy xs. still a few jobs to do, but i'll wait till its warmer and ride it a bit more in the meantime.

brings in another meaning to "touching cloth"
