so you don't deny the dodgy buttplug then.......

ha ha he seems happy with that marty glad you boys got it sorted and it was a cheap fix

bought a set o header pipes a while back just for the hell of it really they looked good nick and cheap ! anyhoo finally got round to wrapping them and fitting them , turns out they have a wider diameter which as luck would have it is perfect for my other cans / link pipes ,, result , dont know what make they are tho , but what the hell nice result

I thought I would ignore that comment. The only butt plug I got is a firestorm, more than can say for your stinky gas butt.

Get some pics up Dragon. Are they not standard Storm pipes then.

Fitted the Carbonadi engine covers last night -





Today was also the first decent ride since fitting the new carbs with the Factory Pro Ti jet kit and the K&N air filter. The bike rides really well with no flat spots and pulls like a train throughout the rev range, just by following the instructions in the jet kit and stepping up to 177 & 180 mains, needles on the 2nd clip down, 48 pilots and the air screws set at one and three quarters and two out. I will put it on a dyno to make sure it's fuelling correctly but I am well pleased to have hit a very rideable setting straight out of the box.
Miracles do ferking happen!!!!!

Great work kev and the blue oyster is looking nice :-)

I'm going to have to get me some of those engine covers. They look good

Glad the carbs are running well. That is something else I have to do to mine

May have to wait for a workshop day to get it all done. Rather have someone who knows exactally what they are doing helping than me guessing

went for a little ride through wales with a mate on one of his bikes -



hes also got a crm450, rc30, nc30, rc45, rg250, nsr250, rd125lc and several others i havent seen yet! jammy git lol

he'd just spent a grand on servicing, tyres, chain&sprox on the 916

also met up with another chap on an nc30 and by the crouton he could chuck that thing around lol - seriously had my work cut out keeping pace in the twisty bits! as soon as he saw a chevron coming up he was off the seat ready!
i was trying my hardest not to cheat by sticking behind him on the straights and phew what a ride lol!
and the 916! he'd just had the forks rebuilt too and had it set up proper and it rode like a dream!

another chap was 2 up on his 10r and got left for dead lol - usually he's right in there but i'll let him off as he had his mrs on the back!

came home to find a NIP from tuesday' evening's ride on the cat n fiddle :/
56mph in a 50.
so beware guys - zero tolerance on the cams up there

Bloody hell martin not again lol

the licence is one of the few places that points don't make prizes
