Darren just drill that central lug out, drill a hole in the wall and screw another hook in the plug.
Sorted. Oh and face the helmet forward. |

Yesterday's efforts - New rear tyre, new chain and sprockets and a rear brake that actually works. Might need to get some fresh fluid as it's a bit spongy.
Front tyre to do tonight, and a bit of swearing to make the rear brake switch decide to carry on working. Then it's get a new bearing for the rear carrier as it was/ is toast - currently got about as much grease in there as I could manage. Front brake service. New horn as it's dead. Then she's ready for the MOT next month. And it best fudging pass. Last edited by shiftin_gear98; 22-10-18 at 03:08 PM. |

Gary, more putting off until I have no choice, than busy.
My rear brake hadn't seen any movement of the pedal for about 5 months! The front brake and engine brake count as a vehicle having two brakes. Maybe. When I actually get round to doing it I quite enjoy it. Her indoors gets a bit miffed after 5 or 6 hours have passed of "me playing in the garage". |

I know exactly what you mean Martin, and I'm just the same. I quite enjoy the tinkering and fettling. It's just finding the time to do it. I always like to have the bike sorted and back up and running at the end of the day, so it's making sure I can get it all done in one go.

After 16k miles I thought it was about time I gave my pipes a little polish. The 3k miles without washing the bike last year certainly didn't help.
So today I started to disassemble them, BOOM! big cut on my finger and a blood blister pulling the springs off ![]() I will say though, what a brilliant idea stud and nuts are for headers! A little squirt of WD40 and they came off no bother. No snapping or anything ![]() ![]() It all came off reasonably easily ![]() ![]() The rear header however... ![]() ![]() ![]() I need to install more bendy bits on my socket set and fingers to reach that one. I think I might just try my best to polish that pipe where it is I'll update this when everything's nice and shiny ![]() |

I think I bought the wrong colour of autosol because it's just turning things black. Might be time to break out the chemicals
