Removed clocks today to redo mounting rubbers and sort oil pressure light. Bulb hadn’t gone as suspected, it was a broken wire so fitted a spare.

Made and fettled nosecone brackets. All fitted up properly. Have dismantled it and sprayed brackets. Rubbers fitted to cone and headlight bracket stiffened up so should be a simple assembly tomorrow. Once that is done I will post some pics before giving her a thorough clean and polish

NOOO Dougyt. The flood gates would open. Plus he would have nowhere to keep his clean knickers

Samurai has ‘G’ model with GPZ carbs. I would be looking at a fuel issue. Possibly shit in the carbs

MMM i’ve an errrr unexpected afternoon off so as I’ve picked up some more bits today I think it would be only rude to not get out there and tinker.

See you all soon

I’m happy with that if Beef is

LAST CALL

Has everyone paid who is coming? Booking will be no later than this weekend. I have 5 paid. Is that it?

You should have shouted Beef. I can get those (got some 2nd hand) and I have been in Zpower today so could have nagged Dave n Phil.

Managed to pick up a set of front footpeg Mounting Rubbers and a set of Handlebar mounting rubbers today. I was surprised they are still available. Also got the front wheel cover from a Y model that fits on the right hand side of the wheel when twin discs are fitted so happy days there.

Also got a full set of spokes for the front wheel for £35.…[Read more]

Drilled and tapped the bosses on the master cylinders tonight. Mirrors are now fitted.

Well I suppose it does have it’s uses but then again so will your stockings if the cars fan belt snaps

Well you only have a couple more days if you want to book and come with us as I am booking the ferry in the coming week. After that you will have to sort yourselves out and hopefully all will fit in.

Well with Tango’s twin now running fine I can get back on to finishing mine off. I did manage to adjust the replacement seat so it fits and closes properly. Not much of a job but another off the list of things to do.

She is looking good mate and ready to ‘Rock n Roll’.

Belgium here we come 😀

RESULT.

Glad it’s all sorted now buddy and a big thanks goes out to Dougyt for his wonderful phone support. Cheers mate

The reality of the situation is he had paid a 3rd party a fee to fill in the forms for him and send them to him. The fee coincidently happened to be exactly the same as the passport renewal fee so as not to raise suspicion that you may be paying a 3rd party. So all in all it has cost Tango £145 to renew his passport.

Hi Belgiantwin.

I must ask if you did your tests when the engine was at running temperature. I did not know but apparently this does make a difference.

We did a few other minor bits too. We made sure the carb rubbers were sealed and carbs fastened on well. We tweaked the carb mixtures with a ‘Colourtune’ plug. We fitted a return cable. All these things combined help to make the bike run much smoother. Tango is going to check the voltage (before starting her) then take a decent ride and check the…[Read more]

Well guys we currently have 5 paid, 2 Outstanding, 1 sorting himself out, 1 unknown and 1 cancelled.

Is this the best we can do before I book the ferry?

Well the results of today are asw follows;

We did various readings but could not get what the manual was saying in general as we found it confusing and ambiguous and probably did not know what we were doing.

What we did get was;
With the engine running and warm all 3 yellow wires from the main coil gave a reading of around 14V (ac?). When revs…[Read more]
