Yup, shock disintegrating is a 99.9% chance of a ticket to wombles TN lol, Payday friday so I'll be grabbing the bits I still need and then its going to the local shop for the work, had a pop at it in my mates garage with a block and tackle but no shifting the linkage pin even with heat, so the ...

Yup, I think I can manage a patio slab or two underneath it to raise it and the link you gave mentions a workaround boltwise so thanks for that, hopefully be in a roadworthy state come payday, I seriously need some smilemiles right now so I'll probably wend my merry over to Matlock as soon as its on ...

Nottingham area, I appreciate any offers but as I'm waiting on the linkage to arrive (Friday hopefully) I'm not in any rush and Its always better to have the kit myself for future modding/servicing use

Looks bloody strange regardless of what you ride, if you ask me!

I nod to most riders, even the Oldschool Mods on scooters, because in my eyes although they are the old 'Enemy' of bikers, hells teeth they have done their time and so I think they deserve my respect, Only ones who I facepalm at are idiots in t-shirts trainers etc and the roadwasps, Service vehicles ...

Abba stand is the one I'd read about previously so cheers, some great answers here and I enjoy the humour shared :) I can't tie anything to a roof because I don't have a garage, the pic of the bikes is where I work on them as well, although the Magna may be going now as I'm single, I haven't decided ...

Anyone know of a stand/lifter that will support under the sump allowing swingarm removal? I saw mention of one but can't remember whereabout it was and a search today hasn't turned anything up, I'm at the point of towel on ground and laying the bike down to do the necessary work if thats what it ...

Seeing as I only received the bike on saturday I think I am exempt from any admonishment regarding lack of care/maintenance on the beastie :) I'm only responsible for it now and yes, cleaning/checking and greasing is on a three day routine, day to day its a quick wipe and the usual pre-ride checks ...

Fought me way through them to get to the Storm, /Sigh, the crack is about 75% through the link, thanks lads, you have saved a life there,
Ordered a replacement, £17 off Egay total and should be here friday,

Hadn't spotted that fellas :) I just stuck the phone underneath to take the photo and wasn't really in an examining frame of mind when I posted, I'll check it out when I get it up on a stand As for the domestic part, I don't want to whinge on here about my life but yes, I'm now single :( Hang on ...

Passed Mot with a couple of ads, rear disc bit worn, front tyre near limit, we found the problem in the swingarm, its one of the linkages that needs new sleeves (Which I have) and chain touch too tight :oops: my bad, I didn't check after putting the round thing back on and tightening the bolt up My ...

A Pair of Stubbies?

Myergh! Paddockstand fail... My mates stand holds the swingarm which is as much use as *insert analogy of choice* so I rolled the bike to the shop and took the tyre off there, checked swingarm and head over, no play so seem fine for Mot, Nice new Metz 4 on there and waiting in queue for Mot now ...

Didn't make it anywhere yesterday, slept too late lol, I do at least have a tyre fitting later today so as soon as the bikes here its back wheel off and down to the shop, I'll replace the front one with a matching slice once I land the big money next month but for Mot purposes I'll be on a win, just ...

Won the Predator mask but not the headlight, search continues for a legal moddable set :) Cans arrived today as did some other necessary toys, Dremel type thing as my old ones had it, a new and improved socket set and a box of Milliput expoxy putty, I will use P38 for some of the filling work but I ...
