You've been busy MacMacV2 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2024 4:53 pm Did a few bits on Rothburg.
Raided Franks stock pile & fitted a hugger.
Removed the lowered foot pegs & fitted some std ones.
Removed the gash blue bar grips replaced with some from stock.
Took the mahosive plate off & fitted a wee one, can get to the seat lock now. Was going to fit a bracket for the plate but found the undertray has been glued on with lashings of silicone . So that's a no go...Bah.
Took the fairings off to find the sidelight wire as it wasn't plugged in. Sorted that & had a mare getting the fairing to line up. Its a Chinees aftermarket job I had to enlarge the holes so I could use the correct shouldered bolts but the top right side bolt would not line up. Dug out a bracket from an F2 as they are steel not the ali as per the early bikes, bit of a tweak & it lined up.
Of course it started spitting so that will do for the day.
That's all sounding positive Robfabiostar wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2024 8:44 pm
when the rain stops its running in time
and just while i was in the cave touched the starter on Dori and boom fired up first time
.
two mins work to save a major sore head Plusgas is one of the best for penetrating seized threads. Agree but a 50-50 mix of ATF & Acetone works wonders. I mixed up a ltrs worth, in a bottle*. Shake it up, it separate's out when left, & use a brush to apply...
Cheers Mac that’s handy to know, thanks for the reminder about acetone and plastic not getting on
