Noise

Just took the bike round the block n yes the speedo worked, got it into 8th gear but it only read 70mph. But as soon as I stopped the speedo read zero again. Getting upset now

Yer fitted it dial side down. Shouted at it, cried at it and also with no one looking I even made love with it but it still aint moving. Like I say it was working last time I rode the bike but since I parked her up the speedo has not moved

I got a bit of a problem, my 2001 dragstar 650 speedo keeps staying at zero!? I havent ridden it for the past two weeks an noticed the Speedo hasn't read any thing so am abit nervous to ride it now. Any ideas?

Fibre glass it mate. Least it's easy to work with and cheaper to buy than ally so if you do fuck up you wont be forking out too much

Well done bippo! Good on you!

Yer I know it's shocking that you can inspire someonelol. Ive seen on ebay an electric turbo thats only 3psi but it's all plug and play. Just need an inline fuse and switch to turn it on/off.

Here we go then, ive made my mind up for good now, no more pissing about. Im keeping the draggy and doing more to her. inspired by Mr foamy and as previously said by another member im going to look at slapping a Turbo on her as the new CDI im getting will accommodate a turbo, along with the new hot shot coils. Has anyone got any advise on installing a turbo? So the shopping list will now be (when i get the funds) New handle bars New handle bar grips and controls New rear fender (got one just needs more work) Turbo and bits New indicators New rear light New exhausts for the turbo etc This winter i will be stripping the motor for a going over with new paint etc along with sort the paint out on the frame and getting this suicide clutch and shifter sorted, been holding that off for too long

I prefer the V&H short shots, very sexy. but they are £300 Try www.metriccruisers.co.uk they do V&H and other makes

V&H are really good but pricey, i have no idea on Cobras but again they are good quality and again pricey. Personally id go with a set of V&H. Don't forget to re-jet the carbs after

yer i see your point but i just can't see how a sticker on the back of your head will stop someone pulling out in front of you? i mean we don't ride out bike backwards...........do we? Granted, if i ever found my self having to ride through someones country i will abide by the laws they have set, if i agree with them or not.

26 miles a day to work, so what ever that is a year

Sorry mate, well out of my knowledge here. but sounds cool as feck.

Ive gone for Mr Foams, Not that i don't love ya Groucho just that it seams your a busy man and the bike comes a dead last in your to do list.

Not a BSA Bantum is it?

well if your out as late at night as i am you come across bassist allsorts

Mines free. i don't mind a foamy throw back

i love a good baby wipe down every now and then

Hi James, Welcome to the forum, i was going to say check the kill switch is on but when you said the bit about the fuses being removed now i suspect that some thing has been frazzled. trace back where those wires go and then check to see if any thing else those wires go to work.

I love feeling the vibrations through my arse! Bollocks wrong forum. I just love the freedom of not having any distractions, no radio, no clock, no phone, no wife. Just me the bike and the road

Are we talking about bippos ass or yours foams?

Well done that chap. its weird how you guys have a gap between your Mod 1 & 2, i done both on the same day. I hated the avoidance test too, every time i was practicing i kept hitting the cone with my foot and then on D Day i finally didn't hit it! Mod 2 is a piece of yellow liquid, stay calm, even tho you are looking around when checking your mirrors etc over do it a bit to sow him / her that you are actually doing it. but above all, just bladdey enjoy your self.

Alright smart arse! still looks ugly as a warty vulva

thats a Honda Shadow 750 motor in a custom one off frame with a 250" rear wheel (poss a 280") http://motomodification.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/HONDA-SHADOW-750-SPIRIT-2006.jpg And it looks fooking hideous

I too get miffed off with the one post wonder but again its more about how they as it and what they say in the post. Same as Jimmy going onto the VW forum for advise and never going back, ive done the same with the Mini owners club. I do pop back now and then but i wouldn't call my self a "proper member" If a new guy or gal comes to the YOC and just says "bike broken what do i do?" then they can lick chicken spunk off an egg but if they are more polite and actually give some information on whats gone wrong, what bike it is etc etc etc then im more inclined to try and help out if i can.

I used WD40 on my Matte black paint, it was shiny for a while but was nice and clean after.
