You made it this far, you are a lot tougher than you think. As an added incentive though if you stop trying we will be sending @Six30 to be your live in carer.
I like this,
think it weighs 230kg where as suzuki and ducati are just over 200 i think.... might be a struggle to get in van
could my bike in the van days be coming to an end with the temptation of the mighty indian..
Screen is back on......fiddly bastard to attach because the rubber stoppers the bolt screws into kept dropping behind the brackets!
But it's all done at last!
Only took 3 hours and a lot of sweat!
Ewen and Charley will be on the blower when they see this shit!
Got my mobile bar through from Amazon! It cost €17 and took around 2 weeks for the delivery.
It's pretty solid actually.......and installing it seems to be be pretty simple because it matches up to the holes on the bracket supporting the screen.
Maybe even I can do it?
I've been moto marshalling the past 3 days and haven't had time to post.
Fuckin horrible weather here for biking - cold, snow, rain and hail each day. Can't say we're having fun.
My bud Phil took this video of us riding near my house yesterday;
Couldn't see shit the entire way home.
The next thing to need attention was the cush drive rubbers in the hub. They had been mounted with some silicone sealant by the previous owner (a common trick to stop transmission slop)...........
Once I got the rubbers out I was left with this ...............
but brake cleaner and a scraper got it clean , this was the crap that came out ..................
with the hub cleaned I fitted some Polyurethane cush drives from Procycle. These are supposed to be much better than the rubber originals ..............
The cush drive was then mounted to the wheel and then the wheel was squeezed back into the bike ...............
