Yeah, they are pretty rough all right. Just a heads up if anyone hasn't noticed that they wear away on the back side. I made up a stainless "shoe" that fit over the Mighty Scura's foot and epoxied it on.

They slayed it ! The original was 6mins 7 seconds and theirs was 6mins 15 seconds. Machine Head was a perfect LP. i bought the 8-track . I hope everyone is that old ? Hush was the first song I heard from them fully equipped w/the wolf howl at the intro. Then I will never understand how they took a polite song from Neil Diamond and ELECTRIFIED it w/100,000 v ! KENTUCKY WOMAN . Back to this group , it is incredible to see kids that age play with all their heart and play every note as though it is their last time on the planet Earth .

Geez @Tomchri, when you gonna clean those things...

Looked closely and measured both the 04 and the 01. Looks the same to me.

I would check the nut on the gearbox carefully to see if it's split. If so, you could use a clamp or perhaps a sturdy zip tie to tighten it on the thread after assembly. If not, a few wraps of teflon tape should tighten the threads up enough to keep it in place.

Instead of loctite, you could use a very very small amount of Blue Hylomar on the thread, would provide enough "stickiness" w/o creating a locking situation. I couldn't imagine how it would spin off by itself unless it was well enough loose, or the Quota is like a paint shaker and vibrates like hell. Seems unlikely though.

Because somebody was looking at this topic, I had a look, and looked at the Avon site. It seems that they are still in the game. https://www.avontyres.com/de-de/reifen/?cartype=motorcycle

Very good idea.

No, I couldn't work out which one it was. Changing the t-shirt fooled me completely. I will refrain from comparisons to Jon Lord, because that would be silly. I had the great fortune to encounter him on a couple of jobs. Polite, friendly, a real gentleman. Musically: the second time was one of those "rock meets classic" things. The orchestra was a combination of a semi-professional orchestra and students from a commercial "music academy". The finale was a Deep Purple melody, of course. They rehearsed it once without the man, and it was all correct. Then he came on stage. First thing was, the organ sounded different (better) when he played it than when the organ-hire bloke played it after he set it up. How does that work? A Hammond organ is a machine. You push a button, and a noise comes out. And on top of that, the rehearsal without was, as I said, correct. With him playing along, all of a sudden it also grooved. One man pulled an entire orchestra into the groove. Not bad, I reckon... So it would be silly to draw comparisons between a teenage girl and someone like that. The same applies to the guitarist that played the solos. She has potential, but needs a few years. Ritchie Blackmore was an experienced and creative guitarist when that song was produced. No comparison, so no comment.

Please include a little more information

You said you did not check this when it came back from the service center? We have no way to know if it was tight or not? Get it about as snug as you would reseal a 2 liter soda. Put a dob of yellow paint pencil on it and run it a while and see what happens. I can't see what the hose clamp is doing so I can't comment on it.

I reinstalled it, and I tightened it by hand. Its a very fine thread, not sure how it could come loose in the first place. But I did not check it when the instruments came back from Germany.

You may have noticed the bass player is also the keyboard player...

Not in a million years. If that retaining nut is working loose all the time then there is an issue with the threads on the nut. It shouldn't need any thread locker at all. Your set up looks a bit of a lash up with the screw clamp, obviously not standard. Phil

Art it is . Cheers Tom.

If you claim that it is art, then no-one will criticise it. In fact, I rather like photos that are taken into the light.

Ahh, I wondered about the colour. A different colour alone would explain the different part number, even if it is actually physically the same part.

No measurement, looks the same. Black colored, looks different, sure the same. Cheers Tom. Sent fra min SM-S906B via Tapatalk

Anyone with early and later V11s that could compare the sidestands, er "side-by-side" ?

Realy bad picture. Cheers Tom. Sent fra min SM-S906B via Tapatalk

The little dude is tireless and shows some real soul in his playing. Best for all of them that he keeps his time locked with the bass. I've played with some drummers that wouldn't lock-on. After a while, everyone just packs up and goes home. In all honesty, though, our bass player is just not that cute.
