[ATTACH] So, got the grips etc off the rhs (bar end removal not needed after all) but the top yoke removal looks a bit more involved than Haynes...
I'm going to repaint the bars so will need to remove them from the bike for this. Not sure if I can get away without removing the bar end plugs.
I'll drag the bike out into the daylight tomorrow to see if I can determine the fixing method, if not then I'll post up a photo.
As the weather should be warming up (should be, as it has been cold and damp the past few days), I am planning to get around to refurbing my bars....
Advisable to get the oil pressure up (so the light goes off) before letting it fire up ? In a week or 2 when I start mine after it's winter lay-up...
Have added 1 for North Motorcycle in Leith, Edinburgh. Tyler Lunceford is the guy there having previously operated a workshop in the USA (NY ?)...
Yup, I would if slightly better weather (ie less than repeated torrential rain) is booked.
One of the most significant issues with these is the head bolts/studs. Earlier ones (can't recall when the change was) had stainless ones that are...

Planning to continue the tidy up of my 1996 SL over the next few weeks and months and a glaringly scruffy issue is the thin black paint on the...
Appreciate people's opinions ... Took the front wheel to Tyler at North Motorcycles, leith today. In his opinion there is de e wear but not...
Have seen good and bad opinions of EBC disks - wonder if they might be a good alternative to Brembo?...
Tyler is the owner of North - really good guy, seems very knowledgeable. Think I'll pop in with the wheel and get his take on it.
Another thing is that many garages have no clue about these type of disks and have, for years, queried the rattlecas indicative of excessive wear....
I've not yet measured the rotors but I can see wear where the bobbin sits in the disk and the rotor can move in every direction which I don't...
Needing to replace the front disks on my SL - the 'floating' aspect has deteriorated to a significant rattle - they're worn out. Option is to...
Well the replacement turned up today and it fits perfectly. It was packaged as a Venhill item for 70-94. The original, too short one, was branded...
