My 'owl Da' worked for Caterpillar and Terex-used to do lots of 'homers'-saw him doing this to save the surface on hydraulic rams, you know when you wrap thread tape onto a fitting and it has to be 'wound' in a certain direction ?-well this applies here, as you turn against the rod/ram/cylinder the chamioux tries to unwind, and as there is only a small triangular space left where the belts go into the vice, it gets tighter, the rod needs to be spotless too -meths

Hi Skrebs and welcome to the 'ward' nice bikes you got there

Hi and welcome to the nuthouse this is the 'New members section' for folks to introduce themselves to the rest of the patients this post should have gone in the workshop section the short answer is prolly a loose earth/connection, or the relay is on its way out

:lol: Aye he's feckin everywhere lately

WHOA HORSIE definately not stilsons m8, they will bite through whatever you use to wrap the tube in, if you have a chamioux leather-dampen it, wrap that around the tube near the big nut, wrap a leather trooser belt (2 or 3 is better) around that-now pass the 'tails' of the belt into the vice, try to get the tube as close to the jaws as poss-an old farmers trick that Arrr

Hi and welcome to the nuthouse Floydthedog

Now you can sell it !, what are you gonna replace it with ?

Take the fork tube to a friendly garage and get the guy to attack it with his rattle gun ?

I know you can take constructive criticism on the chin Paul, overall I like it, although its not my cup of tea, I can see you have a flair for the customising stuff-that bike has had a lot of work done to it and hat off to you m8, I would only change 2 things on it to make it look meaner The biscuit tin as Dirty has highlighted would look better (IMHO) with a stand-off Iron cross (or some other emblem) covering those holes, and, as I've stated before in a previous post-the exhaust, its from 'race stock', I would stick some slash cut straight pipes on there, chrome or black would look great, horizontal to the road would be my personal take on it, highway hawks maybe ? . as for insurance value, you make the price and that determines your premium payments, I would go for £800-£1000 having muttered on a bit, the thing I love about bikes is the individualnessness , bikes can be made so much a personal thing-you dont get that with a car cough, cough, er,, a cage

Powder coat is a polymer and not suitable for engine temps, might be ok on the bars if you completely strip all the chrome off, or you could get them re-chromed with some of that 2k you have burning a hole in your pocket-just means polishing all the time
