Dont laugh, but I had a new pair of alpine stars and had 10mm put on the sole and heel of each boot, only cost 10 quid. Then hired a staple gun and removed my seat cover and scooped it out from the underside myself, its easy once you've done it as many times as me! :lol: (5.2") Dropped forks th...

be a year for me too! 11 of july, and its the same date i picked up my tango shaded baby!

Didnt you know chains have a elasticity threshold. Simply pu, it performs well for the first few adjustments, but once it passes its limit it becomes easier to stretch. The older it gets the more it needs adjustment and so on till your at the end of that limit. :wink: . Thats why its good to change ...

had forks out twice now, once for wheel respray and once for head bearings, just checked em again today and still the same!
To top it all I sheered a pinch bolt . so its all got to come off again

Weeman, how do you know the discs are okay ? Went through 3 sets of discs on my zx10 within a year ! :o All looked okay til i got em dti'd and they werent out much but enuff !!! :roll: You see, the thing is, the bike feels strange around the front when cornering especially right handers, no weaving...

OOHH, thats too much, my proshifter cost me that! not sure how i could get away with payin out that much! missus would kill me

Check this out lads, good movie of my first lap of the mountain at the 2005 TT :lol: http://www.madaboutbiking.co.uk/2005%20TT.htm Take a look at the incident with the cones near the end :cry: could've been worse, but thats what ya get when you chase the fast lads :wink: http://www.madaboutbiking.co...

PS: seen the mods i did to me storm?, proshifter and camera.

just a thought while your on the subject, i have a proshifter on my storm that flicks the front up between 1st and 2nd. Is it possible to buy a slipper clutch for a storm? and if so is it expensive or hard to install???

Right then! ive replaced my headstock and rear wheel bearings which were both shot. I had trouble with the front end weaving as i was accelerating in sweeping bends. This has since been sorted, but now since my return from the TT, the front feels, well like something is loose inside the forks or aro...

Heyup weeman ! was at the Farmyard Party over the weekend and saw quite a few Black Bikers. ( Not being racist or anything you lot !!!! ) Didnt know you were at the TT, should have been there ! What a blast !!! hey TT for me every year now matey! just a bit pissed that the onboard camera wasnt read...

Hey, dont knock the storm mate, its a cracking bike, mine just proved that at this years TT. I think R6's are bad luck for me. Got one back in 99 when they were all the rage, and thought it was the dogs. The problem is any hard riding and the front gets all light on you, and ya got to keep it high i...
