Jamie, split the callipers, pull the pistons out, pick the old seals out, clean the recesses out, light smear of Red Rubber grease on the new ones & reinstall. Give the pistons a clean up whilst out, Pop them back in use either red rubber grease or a smear of fresh dot 4 to aid them sliding in....

cutting seat foam to fit, electric carving knife is your friend [emoji106]

Hey Steve, thanks for that, I'll see if I can borrow one from someone who doesn't mind me carving up a motorbike with it [emoji1]

I believe I've found a UK stockist, so if anyone else is interested, I'll update once they arrive.

All hail the mighty VTR hive mind... I have an M8 hole, but I want to use M6 bolts, do you know if a reducer exists? I ordered a pack on eBay from a "UK seller" which looked perfect for the job, but turns out the seller is actually in China and this was last year and they never arrived. Do...

Had the day off work today and I'm now determined to crack on with the Firestorm! Part 1: Made a start with recovering my seat base. Gave up on that pretty quickly as I can't seem to shape the foam with any of the basic tools I have. A hacksaw blade just tore it up and a new Stanley blade wouldn't c...

A warm welcome to you!

The bike looks lovely now, well done [emoji122]

"What have you done to your bike today?" Nothing, it's too hot. But I built a model plane and razzed it around an American WW2 airbase [emoji3] https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220716/b53035a05e5114adcf3cc9f3a1a1d1c7.jpg Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk Used to fly RC stuff way back...

Not today, but yesterday I cleaned the carbs on the LC and fitted a new battery. Now it’s a runner [emoji41][emoji1303] https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220716/b6a6344efaa140e8d2f0ff0c0211ba47.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Looks completely mint Duffers [emoji108] are you planning to ride...

Great lid Al, I like the design (and your choice of contrasting colours [emoji1]). I've got the NXR 2, after years of using the Shoei xr range. I've always needed the thicker cheek pads too. Can't believe how expensive visors and cheekpads are these days! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220716/aa...

Nice one Duffy! Wouldn't mind a little razz to the chip shop on that.

Just wanted to say, it was superb to catch up with old friends and make some new ones. It was like a mini "Op Storm". The national motorcycle museum was brilliant, I can appreciate the old stuff, but it was the collection of ex race bikes which stole the show for me. Especially the Hislop ...
