cheers bud glad its interesting/entertaining lol well didnt intend this to turn into a project thread so not sure its in the right place now well guess if moderators think it should be in project/build section probably be more suited
whooo and today my led indicators arrived from china ..........more work well also fully welded exhaust hanger brackets and started to clean welds christ i might be in danger of getting this finished lol............
so onwards and upwards today fitted my exhaust hangers now they are finished dont know if these will be the final jobs or i will change them at some point but at least the exhaust are more stable than before and at least level well thats one part done for now so thoughts on job so far seems a bit quiet on here recently...........
hopefully get left hand engine casing of to repair some stripped threads helicoil kit at the ready................
HAH I WIN lol well attacked the bike and it didnt win dont you just love people who put rounded allen key head bolts back on a bike engine so removed genorator side casing to sort some damaged threads mainly the ones that hold the clutch slave cylinder on and to get to the one next to the pushrod that holds casing on as that is damaged as well well found to my surprise casing wouldnt come of hmm cover plate with 2 screws on casing for end of crank had rounded allen key heads ended taking a drill to them eventually relieved enough pressure on the screws to turn them out with drill in reverse was expecting a retaining bolt or something similar behind plate as casing would not budge to find nothing but a bearing just to find casing slid off easy must have a sealed vacume on end of shaft with plate in place as wouldnt bloody move beforehand well its off so found no gasket and a load of orange silicone (just doesnt go with the colour scheme) right so fixed 2 threads with helicoils on casing now just got one on engine to do oh and found one oil drip might have been the sump plug as that doesnt have a sealing washer on it more drama than a mills and boon lol
whoo new sump plug fitted (with sealing ring ) and a new air temp sensor fitted to boot big up to moto italia lincoln as parts were cheaper than ebay lol
+1 for Moto Italia. When I lived up north they were my closest dealer; I routinely took my bike there for servicing. Always time for a natter over coffee and a wander around the shop floor. They're particularly good on the phone for getting parts too.
yep guys at moto italia really helpfull cant fault there service oh and got another rear shock delivered today and possibility it might have been refurbed in the not so distant past company called full travel suspension can't say i have heard of them before well at least its a lot better nick than the current one lol
well nice big box arrived today so that will be the new fairing will have to get my finger out and get working and get some pics
well got time at the weekend to do some work on bike thought i better get ass in gear and sort the new fairing well using the old fairing as reference points for where to drill the holes so in at the deep end cordless in hand and a few measurements still got to get the fairing painted yet also fitted new bearings in the rear shock so closer to mot as well as visually better ...........
well got busy putting some colour on the fairing fully kitted spray booth and respirator.....................sod it in the garden hanging on the washing line lol and then the lunatics appear
"Rockin' all over the world........." Could have at least bought two more rattle cans and done the inside as well.....
