Blimey, you have been a busy boy :smt003

Never thought of putting the oiler on the front sprocket, doh. Mind you I have had the setting wrong and coated the first inch of tyre with semi-synth so maybe being able to coat the whole tyre is not a good thing for me :smt002

Its the battery I feel sorry for. Not only does it have to crank up 2 giant pistons its got to power sattelites and supply central heating to 1 fuman bean.

Looks fantastic

Tell me, how did you mount the Satnav bracket there? I have been making a bracket similar to D-Rider's setup but Im interested in how yours is mounted.

very simple
ram mont bolted through the dash

it may bounce too much under load - if so i will add some tension under it using meccano stuff.... and no, i am not joking

i looked at the price of a new dash - for 10 quid i decided - sod it = do it

am pleased :)


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

How many of those double JD's did you have in the virtual bar, graham0071? :smt003 :smt003
It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.
