The packing material is some kind of wire wool. It's a bit like the stuff that plumbers use for cleaning up pipework prior to soldering. My local...
The top pic looks worse than mine. Mine were worse than the second pic though. Wonder wheels will get rid of all the surface marks. It works great...
How bad are the discs? Mine were proper minging and I thought they were scrap. I used a product called Wonder Wheels on mine and I rescued them....
I've had mine off and on a few times and don't remember it being too tricky. It does go in front of the headstock then inside the frame. Here's...
Correct. The choke cable runs along the rhs of the frame
From what I can find they were introduced in 2000. I think the only carbed model being sold then was the 750 Monster.

There were a couple of reasons for me doing it. Firstly I wanted the bike to look original whilst improving performance. Secondly there's less...
I did mine on my carby ss. The rivets in the end cap do indeed hold it on to the innards. Get the rivet heads off with a cold chisel or drill...
We've got our tickets for Wembley sorted. This'll be the 4th time I've seen him. First time was in 1985 and each concert since has got better and...
1991. Neither and I think the paintwork is original
I don't like that frame colour. Personally if that had been my restoration I would have done the job properly with the correct colour. The body...
