Had a quick search and did'nt see one....only searched in the SRAD section, as thats all i'm concerned about.
Did'nt want to revive my old build but wanted to share and see what others have done, rather than seeing posts of people asking questions of issues they are having.
If there is then :suicide :dunno:bitchslap:biggrin
Anyway, here's what I done.
Awhile back I got a replacement front fairing, as mine was broken.
Painted it and was quite happy with the results until I laquered it....for some reason, the tank looked textured, rather than smooth as before :banghead
Put it down to a faulty canister.
Today I sanded it down again and repeated process but with a fresh can of laquer.
Put the decal Scooby601 very kindly sent me on the front as well to finish it off(Thanks again mate!), also put the decals on the tank that i'd had missing for ages.
Here's the pics;
I know they don't quite match but doesn't bother me right now.
I rode 35 minutes to work the other day.(14 degrees) I had to keep the hot grips on low. I just love them. I wear a windproof undershirt and a good jacket. Snowmobile gloves
I've never seen that before and it is very different...that's why I like it, look forward to your finished project Chris unk
I finally managed to take that stubborn bolt off, the oil line one that was seeping oil, with a tool I picked up from the NEC motorcycle show.
Did the job very well!
Hopefully that's the end of the leaking oil.
Tomorrow I hope to clean the MJN carbs...it's the pilot circuit i'll be concentrating on, as the issue is at part throttle.
I might also have a go at resolving my leaking FP carbs....will also be ordering some tapered steering head bearings from Daz.
Changed the steering head bearings today, for the tapered ones.
Got my MOT due at the end of this month and knew I had to get these done...Ordered the tapered steering head bearings from Daz a few days ago, got them yesterday and put them in the freezer, in preparation for today.
This was the conditions I was working in...lol
Fairings off...
Front wheel off...
Forks out...
Top yoke off and cleaned up the inside, so i could see what I was doing...
Bottom yoke looks grimey...
Managed to knock the old races out...
Clened up the headstock and then had difficulty taking the collar off the bottom yoke....eventually came off when I showed it the angle grinder...lol...I was careful :shifty
Put the dust seal and bearings on the bottom yoke...quick clean.
To bad you aren't here Armi, you could come over to the garage, and it's a warm 71f.
I thought I would put a new gasket on the clutch cover on my motor for williamhbonney as there seems to be seepage. So I pulled the cover, cut the gasket off (I bond it to the cover not the motor), sanded all the paper residue off with the mouse sander, and threw the cover in the ultrasonic cleaner (can't do that with the motor can you).
Nice job!
Yesterday I spent two hours cleaning my clutch cover and didn't even came close to that! BTW, does it need to be cleaned like that?
When you say, you bond it to the cover, it means that you use liquid gasket on the cover instead on the motor casing?
