No problem mate,i have actually got mine up for swap for a classic car

I think i will find a cheap one on ebay that looks the same and see if it fits

Lol it's not you that's no help mate it's yamaha,i suppose they have got me over a barrel and i'll have to either save me pennies or hope to find one in a breakers which is like trying to get hens teeth

Trouble with Yamaha they use different numbers for the identical item if it's for a different bike,crafty buggers

I'm after some advice please guys,the starter clutch has packed up on my 535 virago so i got a repair kit to sort it,when i took the starter clutch off i found 2 cracks in it so obviously that is no good,the thing i am wondering is this the number of the starter repair kit i got is the same for a few Yamaha models so is it likely that the starter clutch will be the same on those as the 535,ie could i use one from another yamaha on my 535 because the 1 for the 535 is above 200 quid and bloody hard to find. Cheers Al

Lol yes you not wrong Nev,but i would want matching numbers as well,would take me bloody years with my income,i have been doing my bike above a year now an still nowhere near done

Wish it had have been mine,it was a stunner

Saw a stunning RD400 today at a car/bike show on the Staff field in Shirebrook,just wondered if it belonged to anyone on here

That's probably why my mate's is costing so much to run then,it is trying to dry out his whole bloody village :)

I was going to get a dehumidifier to leave running in there but my mate has one and it costs him a fortune in electric to run the bloody thing

I was also thinking of trying this Belgom Alu stuff as it supposedly coats the surface with wax http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Belgom-Alu-Metal-Polish-Alloy-Copper-Brass-Chrome-/280351076837?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item414639f1e5

Thanks dirtydt,that's even cheaper

I am now but i'm a Derby lad born an bred,an you know what they say ''you can take the lad out of derby but you will never take derby out of the lad''

Sounds awesome stuff Nev,i see you are a fellow Rams fan

Thanks mate,i'll get a can on tuesday then

My local bike shop sells that stuff,is it good then ?

Right guys,i keep my project bike in my concrete sectional garage,the problem is it's that damp all my chrome is rusting and due to a health condition this is going to be a long term restoration as i sometimes am not fit enough to do anything to it for weeks on end.So my question is what is the best way to keep rust at bay ? WD40 didn't seem to help much so i thought maybe you guys could suggest something. Thanks Al

It really depends on the quality of the shockers you get,look on ebay and find the ones you like,get some slightly shorter than you have but don't go too short or the back end will bottom out when you ride.Cheap shocks would start at about 40 quid at a rough guess

I'm liking that Paul,nice job mate

nice but ouch a bit pricey

If you aren't too far from me i don't mind giving you a hand if you need it,pm me if you get stuck

Changing discs and pads are easy enough,if you get stuck don't be afraid to ask on here

I'm glad i brought back happy memories of 1st bikes we all had,if only we had kept them ehh

LOL thank's for trying mate

Lol yes i reckon i would Nev,then finish up doing a stretch inside being big vinny's bitch lmfao
