Re: YC's got a new bike
It's not looking good for the weekend, probably going to end up going on the SV.
As tempting as it is to risk it just to prove you buggers wrong!

Re: YC's got a new bike
Well after that feeling of impending doom this morning, everything, worryingly, seems to work.
We've almost got a rear brake, it's charging consistently (albeit a bit high at 15V), it runs sweet. Main problem seems to be the fuel tap, which doesn't shut off, due to the amount of corrosion on the plunger seat for the vacuum cut off.

Re: YC's got a new bike
No I've pretty much abandoned the idea of taking it to yours, I still need a tyre and the only reason the shocks aren't leaking is because they're EMPTY.
