I took the panels off and had the lot lacered in, a permanent option but the only way I could see which would work....

Hi @Latestarter and @7inarow, I love your decals and of course the rest of your bikes 

Could you give me a hint where to find these decals?

Would be ever so grateful

Awesome graphics.co.uk for mine I brought the large Kenny Roberts speed block and only used the narrow part. I’m very pleased with the tapered zigzag at the end but no so happy about the waste. Good job they were cheap.

Thanks Latestarter! Nice site and different colours to. But not a bargain!

@7inarow: can't seem to find a decal on graphics.co.uk unfortunately.

£51 + delivery for a full set of bike graphics - expensive ?

Huzzah - let the road testing begin

[dablik]

Got fed up with it last year really, it's pretty tough without a garage or shed i can tell ya.......anyhoo decided to crack on as would of regretted not putting it on the road and buying something else,next years a top end refurb prolly (Studleeeeeeeeeeeeeey) and might chuck a bit of paint onnit but its not over till the fat biker sings..

[Studley Ramrod]

Think ya might be getting a bit in front of yourself matey, ya need to ride the thing first.   No problem helping you out doing a top end refurb matey, pm's and phone at the ready.

Started up the old cow - my god, what a job! A full box of start gas, emptied the battery once and even needed a 1 hour charge to get it running.
Once running, everything is good. What a cracking bike!
Suspecting the fuel pump to be shot again ($10 Chinese one), will eventually install electric one lying in the shed. Fuel levels will be adjusted, and I will try the oil pressure switch on.

Happy days

....and the next day, trip counter rounded 290kms and engine started missing beats - clearly time for reserve...and it stopped. So that was the origin of starting problems. I was unsure of tank status, put it on reserve to be sure
As I rolled with clutch in, I remembered this happening once last year. Will look into it in 50kms or so, when tank is less full. But fool pamp is still on the agenda, suspected to cause stuttering after acceleration at high speed.

Might be worth checking you've got the reserve and main pipes to the fuel tap the right way round.

Yeah, but it has worked like 19 out of 20 times. Temporary, sudden, self-swapping of pipes would be a sensation, I guess

Finished fitting Fixitsan's excellent Mk2 DRL controller and putting the bike back together.

 

DRLs  (like these https://www.ebay.co....CIAAOSwIJlaCWcM mounted on handguards), now work with indicators & hazards, auto-dim at dusk, have a switched strobe mode for filtering, switch to maximum brightness instantly when High Beam is activated and stay lit for 20 seconds after the key is turned to the off position as a see you home function (escape the shed/find your portal gun).

Many thanks to Fixitsan for his friendliness, MK1 & Mk2 products, instructions and support  when possible

Thanks Alan, for your compliments and patience

Found the secret of getting 4 litres of oil into a 9er in under 45 mins. Stand the oil in full sun inside glass patio doors all morning. Then stand it in a bucket and pour several kettles of boiling water in while dropping bikes oil and replacing the filter..et voila...warm oil pours through funnel and hose in under 5 mins.. obvious, but a revelation !!
I know.....everybody knew this bar Me!!

Re fitted Renthal 755’s after tapping ends out (M16x1.5) so I could use the heavy bar ends.
Also used a bit of old inner tube on the clamps just for the sake of it, test ride tomorrow.
I will say it was very easy to do but you do need a decent vice, the tap was a pretty tight fit.

Hadn't caught the "awesome"

Very nice variety in decals indeed!

Thanks!
