DirtyDT

Yep. I forgot that. I once had to go to the bank to pay £20 for an item and the bank (Nat Thieving B4stard West) charged me £20 for the privilege. That was lucky. The import tax is hit and miss but if you have to pay it they tax the postage too so be prepared. Only had to pay once and that was a piece of junk from Canada for the DT. And it took 3 months to get here Also people need to be a ware that the customs folk can make up the "actual" value of the item so writing $5 - gift on the customs label may not work. I try and keep everything non eu to around £20 and anything bigger I budget for the tax and it is a bonus if I don't have to pay it.

where is the groan icon when you need it? I think it was hansoffmedaughter Hoard, I say!! I have SV, DT and TS parts in the shed at the moment. You never know when the next DT of other will come along

My Mum said I shouldn't talk to strangers

Thank you very much I look on foreign ebays now before the UK one for bits. You just need to be careful of pattern parts sold as NOS and any import tax liabilities if outside the EU. I have even forgiven the Germans for bombing our chip shop (well at least for tonight)

I got a couple of packages today of suff I had brought for the Suzi. One was some pattern parts for the far east and were what I ordered. The other was from German ebay. Here is the story The other week I managed to win 2 German ebay auctions from the same guy once I had clarified that he would combine the postage. The auctions only had a couple of bidders. One was for a side panel, 2 chrome exhaust shields and a painted secondary exhaust head shield (one auction). The other was a NOS Cylinder head. A big box turned up today. Opening it up there was a lot of German newspaper in the box. I rummage through and come across an air filter box and cover with the internal mesh still inside it (better that the one I have), next out was chain guard (better that the one I have, after that an oil tank with a cap (better that the one I have and I didn't have a cap), next was a headlight case, one again better that the one I have. Then came the side panel in Ok condition, the 2 chrome heat shields in great condition and the metal heat shield in great condition. Next out of the box was a very good condition kick starter. Lastly, and wrapped separately was the NOS cylinder head. So a big thank to to the guy in Germany who threw in all the extra stuff for free, a lot of it I needed or was better than what I had. How much was the stuff? Well the free stuff was free. The First auction for 4 items I won for £13 plus postage and the NOS head.................... Well pictures first and the price after................... Oh yes. The NOS head was £18 plus the combined postage................... Bargain

A legend in racing history. Slightly before my time but the utmost respect.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Here??

Why are you going XL? Isn't just plain Large good enough? Not enough to make a difference on a 125 I would guess.

:lol: Imagine buying one and pulling up in the car park of a light aircraft airfield.

They do make sexy frames.

Some strange laws around! Amazing that everyone else seems to have better human rights than British people. Maybe Brussels missed this one. As for Cleggy, I think he should go back to Compo and Foggy.

Is this an old Olympic sport?

It is a great song.

Hi and welcome Ross. Nothing wrong with the Kwaka.

Shouldn't the song be by lost Wild Cherry - Play that foamy music?

If it was a constant whining noise I would say say it was my Ex.

If it is the brakes the smell is not nice at all. Riding will be dangerous and can damage (warp) the disk. This is a common problem with bikes that have been laid up over the winter where the callipers have not been serviced for a while. That is if it is the disks.

£99 to me, delivered.

So not affected by speed, revs or hot/cold..................................Is it hunger tummy rumbles? On a serious note get it to a garage as it does sound pretty expensive bad.

Semi seized brakes with fried pads? Not good if it is!

It looks like a cafe racer project. These normally have clip ons. Older bikes tended to have cable speedos but I don't have a clue what it is. Maybe an old RD but I would guess that someone here may have a better idea.

Is there a frame number on the headstock? Looks like comstar wheels on it.
