    Should I....?

    You'll need a sense of humour, plenty patience and a big stubborn streak. The ability to think laterally and bodge creatively can come in useful too. Worth it,tho. More fun per mile than having a blow up doll for a tankbag.
  3. Is it the forum admin team on a night out?

    Oil Leak

    Met a guy at Bikeworld in Dublin recently with a nice custom painted Buell. He was wondering where he could get unc bolts. The ones holding his front caliper on had fallen out.
  5. When I made my number plate bracket and removed the mudguard, I discovered the rear light/indicator wiring wrong from the factory. No wonder the bloody thing kept blowing fuses Check the forum for a wiring diagram, thats where I got the info.

    Oil Leak

    Ahh, Noggin the nog , Bagpuss and The Clangers. Far better recreational drugs available back then, IMO.

    Oil Leak

    Two lorry tyre levers and a sledgehammer. Gets anything off.
  8. Welease woger!
  9. Available from Jeremy's friends
  10. I'm Brian and so's my wife
  11. Castrol R4 synthetic 20/50. Redline heavy in box and bevel drive.
  12. Chrissakes,calm down Ratchet What difference does it make what anyone else thinks? When I told a mate I was buying a Guzzi he was incredulous.Quote- "Are you off your fucking head?" After some discussion,he agreed that he'd never riddn one and that his bias was down to what he'd read in the mags. He's currently 2 grand into a rebuild of his tl1000 after the cams wore down, and boy, does he wear it every time I see him. Go out on your bike, have fun, blast about and give yourself the occasional scare and laugh a lot to yourself. Jeez, what more is there?
  13. Given the amount of miles you're going to get out of it, I'd just weld the heads onto the barrels.
  14. "But what's it called, Fred?" "Style Barney,style"

    quick questions

    Easto, where are you? Martin at Dublin bike tyre co dyno'd mine and did a good job, cheap too I thought at 120 euros, bike was on the rollers for 3 hours on and off.
  16. An 02 meter, by any chance?
  17. Had Bridgestone 020's, didn't like them at all. Pirelli Diablos currently fitted are great, got 5000 miles on them,but they'll need replacing soon, tyre guy recommended Diablo Stradas for longer life, I dont need sportsbike grip and ride like a big fairy so they'll do. 260 euro's fitted
  18. Ah hell, hang the expense and buy them both. Seriously tho, if the Scura has had a caring,informed owner, then any of the bugs should have been taken care of, it may have extras already fitted that you'll save cash on and general consensus says that they smooth out with miles. Then again, a new bikes a NEW bike. And personally speaking, the Coppas look fine,indeed. What a dilemma. You lucky bastard.
  19. No, you wouldn't. Nice touches spoiled by styling by the local 5 yr old primary school class, IMHO. About as horny as a vatican castrati.
  20. Wasn't that the Cook Neilson bike?A friend of mine built a 900ss to the set up in the magazine. Gawd, now I feel old.
  21. I think the technical term is ejaculation
  22. Wasn't there some talk about the swingarm being kicked out to clear the wider wheel?( Can't find it either) Remember to check the wheel bearing spacer(to the nearest tenth of a thou should do) and contact young Mr Roper for the correct vegetable intake prior to torquing.
  23. Erm.........is this a trick question?
  24. Eh? Whaddaya mean, oil?
  25. Do you find there's a noticeable improvement over stock?
