I do believe my bush is just nicely trimmed, but the bike's need to be replaced

g'day from soggy Brissie and welcome. I found a few good places to get bits and pieces from. Even found a place that can make something called bushes ( still nor sure why I need them or what they are for)

What in the world is a Garage? Don't you have a dinning room?

I agree your tool set is abit sad, but just think of all the fun you can have going shopping now I have and am still buying tools when ever Aldi has them on sale. I only have 1 piece that I do not like out of all the ones I have bought ( and only because the battery doesn't hold the charge as well as I think it should). I like the clicking wrenches they make things so easy - the ones that have like an insert in the round bit open end is the same. There is a set that you can use around corners that is next on my list

people are "missing" these screws Now that is the sort of info I need to know and what is an idol screw? is it what I think it is?

I was just joking, I am told by everybody to pls bring a sample. I am doing one better when I get my new exhaust. I am dropping of the old system and the bike then they can sort it to suit what i want

maybe you should have taken a "sample" when you ordered.

Just a Flood update Brisbane has flooded, but the water didn't rise as high as they thought it would. If it would have rained for another 2-3 hrs the way it had been it would have been a lot worse. We were 800 mm on the dam away from a lot bigger flood then what we have now. I am safe and dry

Thanks I should be Ok, but am prepared to evacuate if that need arises. Worst is yet to come the peak should be here Thurs.

Finally found the answer to my fork problem, bought a new set today including new brakes. Had a nice chat to the exhaust man, what a lovely bloke that guy is he understands women. So the bike is semi booked in to get that taken care of in 3 weeks, I better get cracking so I am done by then.

ok I am finally stuck, maybe somebody can send me in the right direction. What front forks fit my xj 750 apart from that models? or how do I determine what will work and what wont? Measuring the holes? lenghts of the black bit on the bottom? Mine ae stuffed and I need to get a new set. thanks

sure we can help : step 1 : introduce yourself first step 2 : let us know what you have done to try and find the answer for yourself. Google is a wonderful tool make it your friend step 3 : search these forums for an answer, I bet it's there some where step 4 : after you done the above feel free to ask us again

I will have this sometimes next week and then I can take a pic of the speedo etc

sorry never in the Front room, that is the emergency parking space for when the thunderstorms roll in and there is hail in the forecast. I will work out today how to post the 2 pics I have of the fairing I just bought. No point putting up pics of the bike when it's in bits all over the place.

I am sorry I have no idea how to post a pic on here, will search if that info is somewhere on here.

he just read this and said " if you had to share the garage with me you would understand why it is a threat" Brisbane is not that small

No pic's yes not until it's all finished. the fairing is a Police special that will give me full protection on face and arms and the speedo tach cluster comes from the same bike . It even has a thingy on there that will tell me my speed or what it was when I pushed that button

Well I finally managed to tear up one of his tools, but that is what you get when you buy the tiny things. Now I can play with the new shiny thing, its the tools you clean the crud out of the cylinder. All 4 are now nice and shiny once again. Gaskets have been ordered from the US that should only take 3 weeks or so to get here. I just bought a set of fairings and a new set of gauges ( speedo, tach) they should get here next week. Slowly but surely it's comming along, just need to find a few more minor bits and I am all set as far as I can tell.

welcome and Happy New Year

simple reason: saves them from burning too many calories and prevents more doughnutshop stops. Plus any old ganny that pinched a few undies will not be able to outrun them

I did google those and realized way to late I shold have done this at 3: 30 in the morning and NOT when he is up and around. Now I have the nice task of steering his mind back to where it should be his FJ....lol They do look different Nice bike you have there.

boss

I think wow warm rain would be a much better description. We are drowning and more rain is on it's way. If this were snow we would beat them poms by at least 50 cm. Ok I am off to the wreckers once again, lets see if I can get a better result today since I am bringing " samples"...lol

sure Brisbane , Aus

Thank you for all the warm welcomes.
