Welcome, As DDT says loads of 2 smokers on here that have a welth of info in there heads

Welcome to the forum

Have i just double footed over the line? I was just curious to see how much of my rod fishing rod could fit in your box thats all.

Id send them back and get a full refund then buy them from Shin Yo direct and save some money, if the quality is good then miss out the middle man all together (i.e HH)

Right come on peeps back to the drawing board, what we gunna have? i think keep the wording that was on the Mk1 design (if thats the bit that wasn't on the copy right law thingy) and just stick a different pic on??

Tell you what Bippo and Katie bring your box's over to me and i'll be happy to see which is better at fitting my junk in

I haven't bought any Highway stuff in years but when i did it always came in a Highway hawk box without Shin Yo all over it. Id confront Customized Chops and say that your not happy they are flogging you Shin Yo items (that are cheeper) as Highway hawk. Looks to me that they are two different makes. Like selling the Kwak ZZR1000 with an R1 sticker on it

Made i laugh when Danny asked him what the top speed was and Gordon said he didn't know as quarter throttle scares the shit out of him ha ha. i just wana see what that 4 engined bike runs like.

Your best bet with the cables is to make your own, buy about 2-4 meters of battery cable and some conectors and a very good pair of crimps (man size tho) and job is a gooden. E-bay is the best place to start and finish.

Not sure if you guys and gals watch Counting Cars on Sky? but this guy is a repeat person on the show and just look at what he creates! This Ford Model T (or A) has 2 V8's and 4 Super chargers working in sync. He has now finished building a Chopper with 4 Halrey twins. Most would thing that he has just spun two motors about to mount to the side, nope, as if he done that they would be running the wrong way so he's taken them apart a re-built them backwards so that they now run in reverse to also work in sync witht he two standard motors. I cant get his actual web page to work as its blocked here at work but i "think" you can get the full build thread on there. but here are some pics of his work. http://www.doubletroublehotrod.com/

Yer thats all the easy stuff, (he says) the hard part comes when you need to keep the "theme" and the flow of the bike in line and then doing all the little details without going too mad. You ever seen the Detroit Brothers style bikes? they are simply awsome! so basic and industrial looking. Also if you haven't seen them already watch "the great biker build off Billy lane Vs Indian Larry" two of the best bike builders ever (bar Indian larry died in 2004) the way they both build is stunning! Good luck with it tho and i'll def be looking out for it.

sad thing about the exhaust is that its getting hot then cold etc all the time which is great for rust to get started, and witht he complete shity weather we have had it just sppeds this process up. It really dosn't take long for rust to get going so sticking a time line on it can vairy. I would guss that all you have is just surface rust and not full on metal rot, so just get some green scotch bright or 800 grit wet and dry sand paper and take off that rust then stick some WD40 on it or AFC90 to protect it, it will smoke / steam when you start it up but will stop once the excess is burnt off.

Welcome the the forum, Best thing to do is get a Gel battery as these can be fitted on the sides etc making them easier to fit in stupid places. My mate here at work has built a Suzi Cafe racer to compete in the classic bike races and fitted his battery in the ass end (the bubble behind the seat) along with the very limited wiring he has. Good luck

Tanks babe.

Sorry to hear about this Steffan, Hope the family is coping ok such a sad thing to happen and such a horrible thing to have to find out. Love to you and all the family

I did have an e-mail address for a bloke called Baz who built one off frames for chops and bobs, all he needed was the engine front and rear wheel and the forks. With regards to the V5 etc he said get a donor bike with a V5 and all he will do is stamp the serial number into the new frame and then you just scrap the original. No VOSA tests etc needed. That XS650 bob has been my works PC desk top for months and is such a great looking machine! i just can never find the build thread on it. Love how he has use V8 rocker covers for the fuel tank, con rods and valve springs for the foot pegs and im pretty sure he has a whiskey bottle for a filler cap.

Well I managed to get her stated yesterday, had to use the wife's Car to jump it as I forgot to put the battery on charge the night before so seeing as betty was out side I thought I'd ride it up our coldisak (spell it right for me) round to our car ports just to check every thing was running right. So I pulled in the clutch, kicked her into gear and went to ride off and........... Nothing, no clutch. Dip shit here didn't adjust it right. So, back in the shed drain the oil and adjust it properly now she works fine. Just need to buy some more oil.

I'll get a photo tonight for you. It's not pissing out Fuel more like when you put your finger on a bit of metal with condensation, just a small damp finger. Might just have to cough up 39p for the gasket and pay £3.50 p&p Bladdy joke that is.

Well betty is now putting up a fight. The Fuel leak is back, it's coming from the fuel tap. I've done it up tight but the fuel seams to be leading from the threads of the locking nut? I take it there is no super duper plumbers tape I can put on it or is there some thing I'm missing? Second thing she done to me today is I went to start her up and the cable from the starter relay and the starter motor melted! It's defendant earthed properly so I'm thinking the wire I fitted isn't able to draw that amount of amps. Dip shit!!! Just hoping to sort these out sharpish as its close to the month ending. Just baffled with this Fuel leak. Any ideas?

Nope, but I'm sure after a few bumps down the road in superman position I'll get the hang of it.

I hate rap, but that was great!

Yey!!!! Wiring is now finished!! Fuel leak fixed, rear mud guard fitted, oil in rear wheel Bell housing, Fuel Tank fitted, battery on charge. Now just a case of putting in some 52hr shifts at work to pay for number plate bracket and indicators then tax and mot! GET IN!!!!!!!!!!

Went to start her and guess what............. Flat battery. Bollocks On charge now so tomorrow she will live.

Professor Higgins at the University of Sydney was giving a lecture on 'Involuntary Muscle Contraction' to the first year medical students. This was not an exciting subject and the professor decided to lighten up the mood. He pointed to a young woman in the front row and asked, 'Do you know what your arsehole is doing while you're having an orgasm?' She replied, 'Probably golfing with his mates.’ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Students in an advanced Biology class were taking their mid-term exam. The last question was, 'Name seven advantages of Mother's Milk. The question was worth 70 points or none at all. One student, in particular, was hard put to think of seven advantages. However, he wrote: 1) It is perfect formula for the child. 2) It provides immunity against several diseases. 3) It is always the right temperature. 4) It is inexpensive. 5) It bonds the child to mother, and vice versa. 6) It is always available as needed. And then the student was stuck. Finally, in desperation, just before the bell rang indicating the end of the test, he wrote: 7) It comes in two attractive containers and it's high enough off the ground where the cat can't get it. He got an A.

Not you of course. Blonde moments only happen to men.
