Best add me as well, then- 16th is good.
Cheaper to ride up than post the shims

I,m just popping up to meet people, had a hard days graft at Tony,s work shop day just watching everyone else work

Had a head bearings advisory for two years now but i cant feel any problem.
Would not mind fitting some from fork springs if i can get them. But both of them are a maybe.
Oh and pay your for the mirror extenders.

Keith needs his cct,s doing if we can get them.

Hope to see you them

I know the kit from WEMOTO works and has all the correct seals and bearings

Cool. USA or Japanese set?

they didnt have the USA all balls option when I bought mine, so I can only comment on the Japan option.........they both have the matching seals so both should be fine

mine were £30 from http://www.bitzforbikes.co.uk - next day free delivery
kyoto bearings - quality. and all the seals etc.
looks like theyve gone up a few quid but still worth it

i'l see if i can get down on the day... see what happens.
as it happens i'm off work that week anyway

looking good.............at the moment we have 4 confirmed bikes to work on:

Geo - head bearings and looking at dirt bikes
Waggy - CCT stoper mod
StormShun - valve clarance, linkage strip & grease,
Styler's mate - CCts

And 3 of us to advise and drink tea

Think we will just have to carb balance all of them just to keep busy

But should allow us to get the jobs done quick and get out for a ride and a bbq

Need to find out if Clive & Pauline are comming and Rob

[cliveyandrews]

Tony, Assume benny has given you the post address for the shims, tell us what the cost is and I will sort it out.
The proposed date is 16th April, and I have 2 confirmed and one who cant make the date.
Would be great if you can join as well..............the workshop day is your franchise!

The starting list is:
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!
Styler & a mate - dont know what Jobs
Waggy - CCT's
StormShun - lingage

Looks like Steveb cant make it but waggy and Stormshun are ok. lets see how many more sign up before we confirm the date

Clive, thought we had lost you!

tell us what you can do and we will see if we can work round your availability.............if you get here after lunch should still be time to do the CCT's if you have the inspection covers alreay tested to make sure they can be undone

[waggy]

Hi AMcQ, i decided to get a new set of honda ccts + gaskets today & ive made sure i can get both the inspection allen bolts out aswell, so i'm looking forward to meeting you & having a go it, all the best for now, Malc..

[AMCQ46]

Waggy you have a PM with the address, see you there

[AMCQ46]

that should be easy enough, I have the pipework needed

[waggy]

Thanks AMcQ, got that, atb, malc.

[geodude]

Bearings ordered. CCTs in hand. Just the baby sitter to sort out now

Are there any cheap B&B/Hotels near by that you know of Al?

I'll be planning to ride up Friday evening. (in laws are away) If not I'll leave early Satdy morning.

Look up EdenEnd B&B in Hockley Heath, it is in the village and run by a friend of a friend...........they have good off road parking and well rated.

Give us a bell when you get there and I will join you for a pint on friday night.

[AMCQ46]

I have PM'd this list of names with the address, if I have missed you off and you intend to join us on 16th, send a PM and I will sort you out.

Clive & Pauline - CCT's but not sure if they can make it
Rob - Head brgs and clutch - not sure if you are comming
Geo - head bearings
Styler & a mate - dont know what Jobs
Waggy - CCT's
StormShun -

Tony.mon & Benny Hedges - technical experts and tea drinkers.

I have 1 normal paddock stand, 1 ABBA stand, and a pair of axle stands that can be used on the foot rest hangers once teh exhausts are removed, so in theory we can have 3 bikes with wheels off the ground. If you can bring one with you that will be a help, I will also see if any of my neighbours has one to give up for the day.

Tony will have shims, and some vac adapters, I will sort out some hose and T-pieces so we can do teh carb balancing.


reccomend a kick-off time about 10am, but call me if you will be late and we will reserve a space. Just got to hope for good weather.

[geodude]

Cool thanks Al. I'll probably bring CCTs also so if someone can show me what I need to do, that would be great. Thanks.

Not sure if I am riding up Friday or early satdee morning.

Will there be a ride out?

[AMCQ46]

Will there be a ride out?

I hope so...........depends how fast we can make you work
