I’ve actually got a frame thats half chopped and a spare set of laser cut axle plates……

Under construction sounded like a plus to me, all done nothing to add would be a bad thing.
Stop growing, start dying…

I have heard that the data logging gear is in the post, apparently some disreputable types knowing that they have been flashed are using plantpots full of thermite placed on top of the post lit with sparklers, the thermite exits through the hole in the pot and guts the post.
Worse yet all the ingredients for thermite (iron oxide and aluminium…[Read more]

If you run the bike with the cap open and it still dies I’d take a look at the fuel tap itself, if the diaphragm gets crap in it or sticks it can restrict the fuel flow too.

Sounds like a plan, also if anyone in the uk wants anything in the us where the seller
isn’t prepared to ship internationally my sister lives in phoenix and will forward for me.

put it in a jiffy bag and post it to me.

Happy days joe, I stumbled onto the twins years ago, I have never known a more
underrated bike. I think they are superb.
Just fitted the footpegs to my chop, bit more welding, paint, polish and wiring and I’m set!

Having seen your Adonis sculpted physique I can’t argue with that.
Adonis is still the name of the kebab shop in Stoney isn’t it?

Know all about that one, I’ve had costochondritis for years, once you’ve buggered up your ribcage you are stuck with it.
I managed to carry a 1600 beetle engine down my drive before my body cried enough.
Flared up again last year, i thought it was a heart attack.

Will do, won’t be till the weekend after next I think.

I’m giving graham the guy who bought the bumblebee a hand to fit the g1 engine
so I said I’d change the reg rec for him as I have the g1 one so the old one is yours if you want it in the new year.

It depends to a large extent on the local office you use, I’ve registered a variety of oddballs (imports, trikes and chops etc.) and my local dvla office is
pretty helpful, had dealings with a couple of other offices and they were a bunch of miserable cxxts.

If its got a customs release form and due to its age all you’d have to do is get
an mot stating the chassis number and book it in at your local dvla office and
pay the road tax when they issue an age related plate, I’ve registered a couple of imports.

Oops should point out that if it has been imported as ‘spares’ without the title document from…[Read more]

I’ve got a decent tacho cable, won’t be needing it on the chop.
also take a look at this, bit steep but its mint.

Surely no underpants and a kilt would be a better bet?

I’m off on the glad to Cornwall over xmas so if I dont manage to get online there have a super Christmas and try not to do anything I wouldn’t do, which means do anything I suppose!

You’d be surprised how far out an engine can be and still run.

Blimey, four teeth out, I’m surprised the valves aren’t in the sump!
Spose its cos they are wee four valve per pot thingys….

Strange things master cylinders, they can work fine and pack up when you change brake pads etc, I assume there is a small amount of pressure left that pushes against the seal but when it is released the seal fails.
Probably why the cure for spongy brakes is to pump it until you get a lever then cable tie it to the bars overnight.
