SQUID Super Quick Until I Die

Just my 2cents worth. when I made my balance /synchroniser set I just used 3/16 plastic tube but installed little fish tank restrictor valves available at pet shops for about 50 cents each , they have the advantage of being infinitely adjustable so you can get rid of all the surge assosciated...

As an alternative to heating up the castings there are products on the market which are essentially freezer in a can. You spray the liquid from the can onto the head of the bolt and its high evaporationn rate will reduce the temp of the bolt to well below freezing, in some cases down to -40...

Occasionaly when on a longer ride (3 hr +) I'll plug into my ipod with an eclectic collestion of rock, pop, metal & classic . Gotta admit that tunes like Jethro Tull "Locomotive Breath" n Pink Floyd "Shine on you crazy diamond"n " Welcome to the machine" do it for me while I'm riding.

All I can say is "Chicks sure beats politics"

Did a quick hardness comparison test between 3 of my left hand fingertips and the still spinning carbide blades of my electric planer a few years ago. The blades are defintely harder, took a few weeks for the fingertips to heal but I still have very little feeling in those fingertips, hurt like...

Well it is now 10.30pm down here in kiwiland and we are still here so it looks like I will have to pay all my bills before the end of the month after all. I guess that in that case I should take this oppurtunity to wish you all the best for the festive season.

Two nuns riding thru the backstreets of Rome. The young nun says,"You know, I have never come this way before." The older nun just nods and replies,"It's the cobblestones."

Bound to upset somebody A 5 year old granddaughter is taken to school by her grandfather every day. One day when he wasnt feeling well his wife took her. That night she told her parents tha the ride to school with Granny was different. "What made it different ?" asked her parents. "Well Gran...

Sorry to break in on this thread but I have a question about the front discs fitted to my 89,they are obviously not standard but I dont know what the hell they are . They are cast iron material (read rust like buggery if they get wet) 320mm OD 220mm ID they are floating on 10 pucks but are only...

The best justice system that money can buy.

+1 on the fish tank valves they work a treat

Decided the best place to mount R/R unit was under seat where right rear coil lived so then had to convert to COPs. Having made the decision there was no alternative so have installed rear COPs as well as R/R have not got the front COPs installed yet but starts and runs real good with 13.5V to...

A guy at one of our winter rallies called Cold Kiwi a couple of years ago had a hybrid Vespa front end with a GS800F (shaft drive) rear end grafted together. Fairly long wheelbase as he sat on top af the motor but by God it could smoke the back tyre. I"ll see if I have any photos of it and post...

Wildweasel You are a champion I sort of guessed that the lower 3 would be supply and the top would be + - and something else but was a bit wary of connecting and blowing something and having to spend zillions of $ to fix a stuffup. Thankyou

The R/R I have just has a single plug with 3 male connections top and 3 below ===

Kyle I'm pretty new to this forum but have a bit of a problem you may be able to advise on. My 89 has burned out the second r/r in about 3500 miles so I have just got hold of a 08 R6 unit , it has 6 connections do you have an idea of which wires should go where or have I just bought something...

Was there a bike in the photo? I never noticed that.

Just a quick note on using Silicone grease on the seals in your brakes DONT the silisone is too slippery in that application and will lead to premature failure of the seals and pesky brake fluid leaks. Best option is to use a specific "rubber grease"if necessary,but a smear of brake fluid should...

I recently built up a set of four gauges a lot like Miles but went to a pet shop n got four tiny restricter valves used to regulate fish tank aeraters about 50 cents each found that these give a good level of control and stop the gauges fluttering very well.
