Morning guys, I'd definitely be up for it if it was during May! Clutch needs sorting and possibly head bearings! Only ever changed head bearings on bikes I was building from bits, never when the bike was together!

Rob, good to see you pick 2 easy jobs

head bearings ------ can be fun getting the lower race off the stem, but as I said, I have Hammers and grinders, you just might not want to watch! the other bits are easy to get out and back in, but I like to have the outer races in the freezer for 24hrs to help the assembly process.
if you get the taper kit from WEMOTO it has the bearings and the seals and I know that one works.

Sorting the clutch---------if it is grabbing, if I knew how to do that I would fix mine!

I will try and fix a date as it looks like at least 3 will subscribe.

Grabbing would be lovely!! Slipping like a b8stard (plates are fooked)

Hammers? No idea what one of them is....got a load of persuaders in my toolbox though!

I read the thread on tapers a while back but have only dealt with old brit iron in the past and planned on just getting some standard ones...but if peeps know what is involved with the tapers I'll give them a crack (and shove them in the freezer the day before)

I definately need the kick up the butt that this workshop would provide....little or no time to work on the bike recently has really let it slip (pun)

Finally got round to changing out the tacho bulb at lunch (it died in November)

My only problem is which one of my projects should I think of lol

I'd like a little help with the Acumen DGi if anyone's fitted one. Manual CCTs in box - maybe a stopper mod on Paulines. Guess we'd have to see how much time we get.

Can't wait to hear the roar of z garagefull of 'Storms!

Have a look at my post in the workshop section titled:
"Connecting an Acumen DGV Gear/Voltmeter"

That'll make it easy.

Clive, I have never done the acumen, so you may have to follow the thread tony put out, but manual CCTs and stopper is no probs.

well it looks like enough interest, so I may have to set a date!

Clive & Pauline - CCT's
Rob - Head brgs and clutch
Kneewobbler - valve clarance, carb balance, linkage strip & grease, new fork springs and partridge in pear tree

Steveb - valve clearance
Geo - just passing but looking at stealing my enduro bike!

and possibly fit CCTs if I haven't done them already. I can only make it if it ties in with an in-law visit so I'm a possibly maybe not sure for sure.

Check your garage. What enduro bike?

Benny, the more the merrier..........you probabaly know the inside of the Storm better than I do so we should be able to cover a full rebuild and respray between us.

I'll pop up with a mate. Hopefully if the dates don't clash with some planed days out.
Will it be some time in late may?

Cheers

I can't do late May, hopefully i'll be suning myself in Spain (will def be in Spain, just hope the sun's shining). Early May? Or April, or March?
