If I've finished the work on my bike I might ride over and say hello. Damn retailer have let me down so now I'm stuck until they get the parts to me. Grr.

If I dont make it, have fun guys.

New chain and sprocket kit is arriving tomorrow, 2 days late, so maybe I'll be able to fit it in time, but I doubt it. Annoying mail order stuff...lol

Ahhh shite, I forgot about this...im so busy at work at the moment, not getting home until 7-8pm and off again for half 7am in the morning, my head is all over the place.

I havent had chance to order any fork springs or seals, and doubt ill get time now. I started taking my bike to bits on Sunday to replace the exhaust packer thing again, got half way before it got dark and havent had time to put it back together this week.

Ill see if I can get it put back tonight/tomorrow night and come join you on Saturday - ill give you a call for the postcode budd. Ill probably just come and hang around for a bit and help out anyone who needs, or make the coffees?? Dont think ill be doing anything to my own bike.

What time are you starting?

That's no problem a good 'tea boy' could be useful ;) along with a little ctt know how of course, but i've think we've got everything covered, the jobs we are aiming to complete are:
Phil's : fit manual ctts, balance carbs, test fit new belly pan and hugger prior to painting.
Mine ; balance carbs, change fork oil (it appears my handling problems stem from me adding the oil with the fork leg fully exptended rather than fully compressed, so the air gap is completely wrong DOH!) plus i'd like to have go at getting the suspension base settings (static sag etc) something like (thisd should be possible once I get the right amount of oil in there) .
So all in all we aren't tackling anything to complex but any help would be most welcome.

)

LOL, coffee is allowed, but tea is the working mans drink, when I worked as a railway rolling stock fitter (many years ago) some of the old guys made tea so strong you could stand a spanner up in it !!! and coffee was for southern jessies (just like lager) Oh how times have changed,

Lol, well my drink of choice when im poncing around in meetings all day is a nice big latte

Im going to be late, as I havent finished putting mine back together yet, seeing as how the traffic home from Stoke was horrible on the M6 tonight and I didnt get home till 20 minutes ago. Ill call tomorrow when im setting off.

Boys, I have encountered a problem with my chain and sprocket swap so I cant make it over there until I have this sorted. I made a thread about it, its bloody weird but then again all my problems seem to be of that variety.

Anyway, hopefully i'll catch the next one. Sorry, was really hoping to see you all.
