At the risk of hi-jacking the thread, if I were to look at hosting a similar event (mainly because I need shims doing) do I need to get any extra tools in.
I've got a pretty good tool set, but that's about it (with the exception of some large persuading tools).
I can deal with the majority of the general service items, but the shims and potentially cam chain tensioner are a little beyond my know-how.
So, if I ask for help in exchange BBQ & cake do I need to get extra toolidge in as well...??!

Nice one.
Think i've got most of that covered.
Need a Torque wrench, and gauges, and shim's and I'm pretty much there.
Thinking about getting that £80 shim set off fleabay, so that I hopefully have all I need as I use the bike daily, so don't want to be in a situ where the bikes off the road longer than needed.

No big deal but I have a shed load of spicy chicken parts marinating away.
Need Men to eat them
Understand the Fuel need. Went out this evening to get the chicken and filled 2 fuel cans, no waiting.
Looks like everyone has already filled up
Bring on Sunday

Same idea in a smaller package.
Smaller hole to drill, and doesn't go as deep behind panel as gammatronix one.
I fitted mine in Jan '11 in under an hour. Connected to DRL, so power supply is switched.
Spelt DRL wrong
