If only Garage has had a good sort now with numerous trips to the dump, and I have permission from SWMBO that I can now do what ever I like to the garage so its gonna be a proper man cave, heating, music, beer fridge and some room !!!!
Hey guys n gals, At last starting to get her back together, would've been started sooner but both me and SWMBO went down with that crappy orrible virus thing that's going around, totally lost our voices at one point, didn't bother me but she suffered and being a radio presenter she wasn't overly chuffed !!! sounded like Tina turner on speed !!! Anyway, I'm installing all the wiring and quite frankly I'm struggling, the photos I took stripping it are crap and I need some help, is there anyone in the Sussex area, Crawley ish that would have some time spare to help, even if it's bringing yours round so I can see where stuff goes/routes, The manuals etc are little help, I can provide bacon sarnys tea coffee but I draw the line at kinky sex, gutting I know but hey that's life Any help would be appreciated and if pushed I could wear a spangly gold thong but THATS IT !! I think you're all lovely except EL T who's a scary nutter
I'll pass on the offer of hospitality thanks but would this sort of thing be any help? I have about half a dozen of them in all, show various views etc.
Here we are then, some of the fine detail is not 100% accurate but it's better than nowt, (not too clever with sort of show, so presume I just upload attach and all whom wish to do so will have access?) Here goes, hopefully they'll prove of use:

I'd not heard of this before, anyway working on mates ST4S (knackered clutch, disposable slave unit? what a crock!) sat there for minute or two looking at the rear shock it looks too fat and a bit short for SS/SL use, he's ordered an Oberon unit so I'll be round there again shortly, I'll take my tape with me this time to confirm.
Are you going to make the Horsham Bash ? Oh by the way seeing as you are in the same town as me, be on the look out for an 1199s or Streetfighter in matt black and give us a wave
@Cupid Stunt No wont be at Horsham as the bike wont be back together and ive also got to go to my fathers in malvern, not so good at the moment. Ill keep an eye/ ear out for you, im off Tollgate hill :thumbsup:
