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.

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.

I went with Mike Backhouse honda Silvewrwing, Julian on a T-max, Jaz on a honda 250 sumutorother.....a few more but the little grey cells have died off a bit now.. I remember a German guy the first morning yelling if the bastard who snores does it tonight i will kill him>>>>Jaz and Julian like a 747 going over your head....but al night.

I went to that meet Clive, i won the Stanav for the longest trip to the site but never went to collect as i was in the Pub. On a Burger 650 at the time.

Don't forget to check the shape of the rollers in the variator..

same ramps as i have, one is perrrfect, tuther arrived a day or 3 later and is twisted and crap. I use them to get the lawn tractor out of the shed.. Never used for a bike yet as i am still able ( at this time ) to push the bike...for a few more months anyway.

i have a nice Mivv full system and a better screen here for one O them, maybe an oil filter or 2 Ow! and a satnag mounting thingy that fits inside the screen.. Pick up when on hols in North Wales. Lyn.
