Basically the same bike John apart from styling which I prefer the TX, the're the bikes all the bike builders tell you to steer clear of as you just can't get the parts and issue with the cracking heads although it was sorted on later models so if its not gone by now its probably fine. Is a cracking looking bike though foams

Yep dirty horrible smelly things, get yourself a 4 stroke. I'll take it off your hands for free

As above & also a bigger bike feels more planted, will keep up with traffic better and have that bit of power on tap to get you out of trouble if you should need it.

Just my luck

me too, think the new wheels would look brilliant in Yellow though, just my opinion!

just found this on my phone triumph hurricane hey Drew any official pics yet doubt if we were on any mind as we only went out once

Well guys I know some will scoff at these but I've worn them the past couple of days and have to say I'm impressed I did find they were better fitted under the wrist as apposed to on top as in the add, they felt a little restricted and can feel them when you turn back the throttle if fitted on top but I forgot they where there when underneath and tried with and without and was a lot cooler with them fitted. I don't think they would work with a fully faired bike but for naked bikes they really do work well. I can't wait to try them in Spain.

Hi Plaura could just be the oil sump plug needs tightening. Remember to say hi in new members section you'll get a much better response once you've done a small introduction Welcome to YOC

It is that Slice, the guy I got my xjr from is building a xj550 so I'll pass the link on to him

Its a TX500 Slice

Hi & welcome to YOC, the only tip I have is ride it like you stole it. get some dirt on it, its meant to be ridden not just looked at, oh & post a few pics cos we do like looking aswell

Doh only just seen this, I put it in another thead , like the pics

Seen a few divi's done but never seem to look quite right cafed, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder good luck with it

Went to Drews house last night after work to get my carbs balanced as I don't own a set of vac gauges, didn't take long so we went for a bimble to Lymm thanks Drew

Aye like getting tomato sause from a potato.

Grouch stay away from paint guns or any guns for that matter, with your luck you'll end up shooting yourself or yer missus.

Yes but your not living on the north pole either grouch, your bike lives outside but it has cover yes? The only thing I can think is maintenance or like Drew said you're oiling cables that shouldn't be oiled. Your not using something like wd40 are you as that won't do them any good.

Probably village bike porn knowing John

Wow & I like the anker too

Great when you find a contact like that and Very useful for the future

Try ringing their fax number, someone may have plugged the lines back in the wrong way round, does anyone still use fax ?

Probably photo bucket has seen your nudie pics and locked account John

I don't know if he ever got it back on the road after his head on.

Good ride out with Drew today surprise appearance from Paul aka airhead at the oilcan cafe in Holmfirth, We all then went on to Wombwell, we were a little bit disappointed with the organization this year not the same structure as previous years we've been, which mean't we were on track with the looneys who ride beat up old track bikes and put what's left them in the back of a van to get home (bit like the two stroke rideout at Squires) only worse! Anyway had good day out and luckily it didn't cost an arm or a leg, and we all stopped off a Paul's on the way back for a coffee Thanks Paul see you at Squires later in the year
