Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
made a scot oiler, using left over parts from one i got for adventure bike and some old sheep dosing guns
Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Sheep dosing?
Doesn't the rohypnol rot the plastic?
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
So had to pop down the docs today to pick up a new sick note but thought I would go to Maidstone J&S beforehand & pop in on the way back...
The idea was to look at a jacket I had seen online...Spada Camo II... So I tried it on, nice jacket if a bit crispy as new, but the collar was like a bloody neck brace... Just not comfy at all so bailed out on that + do I relly need another jacket ? J+1 = 6 so gave that a miss...Instead I looked at some lids...
Stated off with a HJC but that was polycarb so swervd that, had a look at another HJC Rapha 11 (?) OK but didn't feel quite right...Tried on a Shoei GT air...
The card took the strain...
Feckin £65 for a new visor !!!

Am I the only one who has real problems getting the connections on the fuel tap? PITA job.
I do use a wooden stick/tank prop to hold the front up tho that makes it a bit easier...
You could always get quick release joints for the pipes...

Unless you've replaced the standard fuel lines with braided, that is.
Don't clamp braided lines, take them to a hydraulic hose maker like protek.

I found these hose clips:- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/273716037029 ... 3716037029However I am more concerned about 8mm fuel connectors being the right size for standard OEM petrol pipe
as Wicky says they were too small (see link below).viewtopic.php?f=18&t=18681&hilit=fuel+c ... 40#p325950Wicky wrote: While things were apart tried to fit 8mm quick release fuel connectors - no way with the slop in the 10mm ID hose would they have sealed securely
