  1. might take rad and carbs off the zed dunno though bit pissed off with it at the moment,got some jobs to do around the house but I can,t seem to get motivated so I may just laze about all day. but then I always chastise myself for wasting a day.
  2. well fitted dynojet kit put carbs on to balance and could not get no3 carb slide to move on vacuum so swopped out diaphragm from my original carbs and fixed that next problem no2 carb won't balance so looks like I may have a blockage somewhere will have to strip down and clean again unfortunately my radiator has begun leaking at the joint where I had it modified so that has to come back off to get sorted so not a happy bunny, was nice to see mark and mike today when they popped in for a cuppa.
  3. [quote="bladerunner"]I've just bought a pair of Michelin Pilot Powers 120/70 and 190/55 for £177 fitted. probably wont last as long as a pilot road but I normally get 4-4500 miles out of a rear and about 6-7000 front.[/quote aye I thought about them but I get about 3000 to 3500 out of a rear pr2 and the power is a soft compound, perhaps I should slow down
  4. stick to reversing trucks m8,its wot youre good at.sunday looks decent.just finished fitting dynojet kit will stick carbs back on tomorrow.
  5. thing is dave they were £20 dearer just for the tyre than the shop up the road but unfortunately they did not have it in stock.and I didn't fancy another treck back later.
  6. I will see my m8 with the mot garage when he gets back from holiday next week I get my car tyres at cost thru him.

  10. aye I think marks related to the wicked whitch of the west frightened to get wet in case he melts
  11. well got my pipework all sorted for rad,got rid of the standard dual coil set up and fitted a set of coilsticks of a zx10,put the full power carbs on rigged up a temp petrol tank, spun the motor a few times with the kill on to get the oil round the motor.fed in the petrol hit the starter and boom!!!! she fired up,did i get yous goin.bit lumpy but thats the carbs need balancing and the joint to my can is blowing so need to make a shim for that.but quite pleased with myself.just having a little whiskey to celebrate. kope to fit dynjet kit this weekend and will post some pics.
  12. lucky bugger hope the weather gets better for you dave.
  13. looks top notch m8,i plan to get mine done with the patterned concrete sometime soon.
  14. Giz a shout before you go Mark, be good to have a ride up again. Wish I had half your skills Ian the bike is looking amazing! Will have a look up sun if ya like mike. Thats if ians in. I should be in m8,sunday is the only time I get to work on the bike plus the bandit needs a new tyre and I doubt I will have a chance to sort it this week.
  15. thanks lads, it was weird feeling, the back end felt ok till I slowed right down,it was the front that was moving about .I think I got the puncture on a long straight before the roundabout.hole in centre of tyre but its worn out anyways.
  16. we see who wears the pants in your house only kidding m8,i been there and done the same with our lass,stick me down for a tenner and i will give it you next time i see you m8.
  17. thanks mark wondered where you got to lately
  18. thanks it definately got my attention,glad there was nowt coming the other way.
  19. thanks m8 its comments like this that drive me on cos i have had moments over the past 2.5 years i've been on with this when i thought why am i doing this. regarding the tyres dick i will be fitting new rubber when its done these are the tyres that were on when i bought it of course i will be burning the rear up first or you could sell them to me for my brother Ian, although burning them up does sound more fun!! will see mike it would be a shame to wreck the rear as its got a lot of life in it,the fronts ok too. was hoping to get the motor running today but got a problem with my throttle cables even though i have had them lengthened and then altered again i have no freeplay so need to get one cable adjusted in length again .got a stage one dynojet kit to fit but want to make sure the full power carbs i got will run without the kit first then i will stip them and fit kit.ordered a k and n filter last week but the company i bought online off sent me email saying they did not have one even though they did when i ordered it,so got a refund and ordered off another company i paid extra for express postage to recieve by sat, guese what no fecking delivery apparently in there smallprint you got to allow 2 days to dispatch not very fecking express that, is it.barstewards.frustrating this bike building mallarky.
  20. went for a little blast this afternoon,headed up to hartside but decided to veer off to barny castle as the roads where a bit dodgy with shit and gravel washed onto them by yesterdays monsoons.heading back home get about ten miles from home not hanging about and come off a fast roundabout with power on, wtf the front of bike starts floating and heading over to opposite side of road i'm thinking oil or something wrong with front end pulls up and got my first ever puncture on the back tyre, mind it was on its last legs. glad it did'nt happen going over the moors.so rings the misses who just got in from work and she brings my van and son to get the bike home. guese i have some brownie points to earn now.
  21. sundays the best chance i have to make this lads.
  22. so youll have a neck like stue soon aye i used to have a good set of traps when i trained, its all gone to pot now though
