I used to setup BMW airhead gearboxes i made a setup plate, i ended up doing 10 or 12 for my local dealer..then it got a bit much so i gave them the setting plate. I used to get a credit on my account that kept me in services and a good part of a new Bike. I still have an 80gs box fully rebuilt in the pit in the garage. Too much trouble these days, plus not as much call for real mechanics skills,,,all seems to be plug it in and change stuff. WTF is going to happen when the chips die and there is no body who can repair stuff.

I have a lathe and a milling machine and used to make Yokes and other bits for people...But the cost of Ali is such that it could well be cheaper to get an engineering firm to Lazar cut a top yoke..Just a thought. If you have a good engineering drawing it could workout not too expensive ..and repeatable ... Just looked at my supplier for Ali a lump of Ali 4" wide and 2" thick..( smallest length is 1mt ) is £257.80p Then the drawing and electric even if i did it for cost..See what you are up-against!! bloody inflation ... I am Shaw you will find anther Honda bike with top yoke that would work. Lyn..trying hard to keep my mind off life at the Mo.

Many thanks all...You may not think it but it does help:

Tis a sad day/week My Pat passed away on the 27th of Oct: had a shit week..No idea what to do now.. Sorry guys but she was my sole mate.. Lyn.

22 fully grown men kicking a bag of wind around::: Why FFS.

sex on wheels.

You should be: they have lost money ever since they took control. Buy a triumph

I must admit i was waiting for the knock on the door all day..That is the UK now: It costs SO much just to live here in the UK that it would give me a better life in the nic>>>>Free every thing at the tax payers expense::: But then again i am NOT an illegal from a boat across the water so i would not get a hotel...just the Nic. I was thinking the other day: i maybe one of the only one's left of the only real minority in this country:::: White, angle Saxon, hetero sexual, Protestant:: So what group do i belong?

PS: i am NOT being Political am am just asking...as this has been going on for years and a couple of parties not just one.

If i was in power there would be some *ucking changes, and fast as well. Just try and ask a Guberment man how much money it costs to pay EX: guberment and Ex MP,s pensions...???

same here in Welsh Wales, if you ring and tell them a guy is going to kill you....nothing happens for days>>>>if you ring and say he called me a gay thing. You would be locked up in hours. Ring and say i have had my house broken into and trashed and my 5 year old is a hostage...they will give you a crime number for the insurance company Twats the uk Police.. Cameras every where you look, but no Police men or women.... Helicopters in the sky, very expensive crime cars...But try and get one.

How long did the Ohlins leg last Bob?

RIP Dell, so sorry i could be with the family at this sad time.. Lyn. Life is shite some times.

What does he do in the summer then?

Last time i saw your Girls they were tiny,,,now they have Bank cards. God i am old.

Grand Max!

I am too gutted to say anything tonight, but i will try and compose myself for tomorrow. We used to chat every other Sunday evening the **** never said anything to me..Sorry i am not in a good place tonight. Lyn.

Bugger Ren, are we getting old! I ordered a new XADV 750 today the SE version another 8grand out of the pension pot with the trade in. But on the other hand, i could be dead next week. PS: the duff leg is no better..but we carry on.

were those cuts all done with a hand saw then?

Now i do have to but in, sorry lads. When i were a Lad: i used to take my mates bikes out ( Local Suzuki Dealer ) for a couple of hundred miles before the local dicks heads took them out for a test ride. The Early Busa could do 0-100mph and back to a stop in 10sec..can your bike!!!? If not you will not get close to the Busa.. Some times i love being old: Cos I know stuff. Also Ren will know the truth...

Do you have a new chain and rear tyre fitted Lyn.

I did the same as Ren, i just stopped..One day i thought ang on a moment i am not enjoying this any more, just back from Holiday with loads of cheap backy and papers...chucked the lot in the bin and never had any..I think it was the same a Phill, 12 years ago..Does not bother me when mates come around and smoke. I never tell them they should stop, tis up to them. Rock on Phill.

I had fall down Bobs T-Max to repair here, don't remember now what was wrong with it but dealer wanted an arm and leg to fix it. I had to remove a load of plastics and they all popped off..the frame was bent...after one of his roundabout off's..Took a week to get all the plastic back on looking sort of OK-ish Sheffieldd was Liam had 2 T-Max's.
