More stuff done today. New tyres are waiting at my local tyre place so it was time to get the wheels off.Then decided a few more bits needed...
It comes down to the materials used. The foams and resins (in a fibreglass or carbon shell) degrade over time. Kept away from UV it takes longer...
Sad but oh so true. I spent twenty years building an award winning engineering department specialising in supporting kids and young adults with...
I don’t have a particular brand preference (except I won’t fit Contis after an awful set on a GSXR), I find some tyres just suit some bikes...
Tragic reflection on how little good practical skills are valued in this country. This is not a complicated issue, it requires time and decent kit...
Looking to replace the 20 year old Dunlops (yup, 20 year old!)on my recently acquired 750ss. The Michelins get good reviews but local place...

Thanks! They get good reviews, I was also looking at M7RR Metzelers as I used to love the old CompK options back in the 90s.

Out of interest what tyres are people using at the moment? I won’t be touring or covering massive miles so looking for something fairly sticky and...

Made it live again! Got my 750ss running, it sounds gorgeous! Still needs a few jobs doing but aiming for the spring now anyway.
I have had issues after ultrasonic cleaning in the past which is why I avoid it now. I just use shed loads of solvent and a small brass dowel as a...
Still not entirely happy with the tank but will worry about that later. Got some nice fresh fuel and she started up first time. A little smoke...
Carbs rebuilt and reassembled on the bike. I did a compression test while I was at it, 8.5bar on front cylinder, 9 bar on vertical. Happy with...
I have rebuild kits for them, I am not a great fan of ultrasonic cleaning if I am honest as have had mixed results in the past, I prefer using...
Thanks,The weird thing is that it is there and seems intact but the carbs were full of crap so must be build up of small bits. Only just got back...
Got a chance to strip the carbs today and the bowls were full of rust. Fully cleaned now and will rebuild when I get a chance. The tank is a...
Spent a quick hour on it, spark,plug gaps were hilarious- about 1.5mm. Cleaned and gapped them and now have a much healthier spark. Sprayed some...
