'Ere 'ere is the EAR Megathread

Are you sure he hasn't just brought another one off Ebay because that's a great job he's done.

Skip - Cant see the flames!!! Looking good though

Have spent today 'hooning', but its just not the same without you guys
And i gave Jeff a lecture on the importance of actually dropping off and marking when riding in a group of people using the '2nd man drop-off' system. What a ****!!
He has redeemed himself though by booking us into a travelodge for a long weekend at the end of the June in Wiltshire, there looks to be some good roads in the area

And as a reward for its hard work this weekend, tomorrow i'm removing the bikes fairings to rub down the rusting fairing brackets and parts of the sub-frame and give them a coat of shiny hammerite. I'm also geared up with wet n dry, autosol and elbow grease to give the downpipes a darned good rub down until theyre shiny as new

I'd also like to replace the two bolts that hold the clamps around the exhaust pipes cos they're really rusty too. Anyone know what their 'proper' name is and where im likely to get some more from, are they a special bike part or is Homebase likely to have some??

You'll be lucky to get these off in one piece KJ and no Homebase is not likely to have any.

Google Mikalor hose clamps, which is what they are

Wow, that was a fast reply, thanks. I'll go have a google now...x

Seggons had the same problem, he posted earlier in this thread.

He had my only spare Mikalor hose clamp of the right size

No problems, theyre readily available on flea-bay. Dont s'pose you can remember what size by any chance?

[maviczap]

42 - 47mm if I remember correctly, but I think there are two different sizes you might need.

I'll measure them on my standard exhaust tomorrow morning KJ

Oh you're a star, thankyou.

KJ, just measured the pipe and I was correct. Its 44mm so the 42 - 47mm Mikalor (if thats the size range) is the one you need.
