So, what you are saying is, construction companies shouldn't pay people under the table.

I'm a bit slow and hopefully you got this fixed. A good test to seyenif the solenoid is ok is to jump the exciter wire (the one Sean mentioned blue/white) to the positive battery terminal. If the solenoid is faulty, it won't crank. If it cranks OK then you have the afore mentioned voltage...

Thats tough as nails! I hope you love it. Theres some time and skinned knuckles in that bike!

Onya G! What part of the world you in ATM? I gotta tell ya, I really fkn regret not putting overdrive in mine. Don't ignore Mr Morleys advice! :bang head:

Ooh, I didn't even know about HT powder! Is there pics of it after plenty of use? If not, I can't wait to see them. Frank, yeah I was probably lazy with the bolts I did. Sometimes I think I might change my name to Lazy McLazy, but I'm too lazy. :biglaugh:

I agree with all that ^ great advice. :biglaugh: No thermostat and new coolant points to someone masking (or concealing) a problem. Check it out real good to find out why someone did it! Because you asked, on some vehicles with a dual action thermostat (ie. when one passage opens, another...

I'm intriged by the bolts. I tried doing bolts once and decided that it wasn't worth it because the PC came off so easily when I leaned on it with a spanner. What is your experience with PC on bolts? I also mask off mating surfaces, and fill the banjo bolt, bleeder and caliper holes. I...

Okie dokie. :biglaugh:

I reckon you have a bad earth there Dan. Check where the earth wire is connected to the bolt that holds the faux tank latch. It might be a good connection from the terminal to the frame, but is it a good connection from the terminal to the wire? Might need a clean and some solder. Or maybe run...

That's sexy as hell bro. :punk:

Why does the CV joint look like it's going inside the engine casing? It's going to replace the front u-joint, right? And where are you going to fit something that size? And it's gonna be single sided? WHOA! Another very interesting project. Did you know that CVs can be lightened quite a...

Pat, maybe just charge a deposit on your exchange parts. Refund the deposit when you get "the correct return part in powder coatable condition" back in your hands. That way people know what it could cost them if they don't return it, and you never need to chase anyone up!

I got me a set of darkside handle bars. You make them out of broomstick, just cut to the right length. It doesn't make the bike handle badly, just different. To be honest, I can't tell the difference, and you know that my experience and skill level is HUGE. With the difference in price, you...

4.5 feet! WOAH! That's a lot of energy. I have to do mine again. Should have used new bolts maybe. I hope it's not cracked.

I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to record this. I had the same problem with Veronica, and when I got her back from smash repairs recently I re-discovered the problem. It is fixed now. When I rebuilt the clutch master, I put the pushrod in backwards. This is what caused mine to...

Took Veronica for a spin. It's the middle of winter down here (as you can see by all the snow and rain ... Lol) but I'm happy now. I'M finally back on the road!

I agree. The carbon on top of the piston is quite thick and oiley, but the edges are pretty clean. Given that you said the ring end gaps had opened up, I think that you have a little from rings and a little from valve guides. The kero test on the valves can sometimes appear worse than it...

That wasn't over reacting. FYI I had a look at their feedback and found this --> http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=point-a-engineering&iid=270963419448&de=off&items=25&which=negative&interval=365&_trkparms=negative_365 Same part, right? Sounds like they are full...

My missus says I weigh more than her, because I am more dense. Do you think she is taking the piss? :ummm:

Fantastic vision you have there mate. This bikes going to look wicked! :punk:
