anyone using or thinking of using Evans Waterless coolant ?

I've got the bike in bits for it's winter fettle ( see superleggera project) and one of the items on my to do list is replace/flush the coolant and like most other site users I'm always on the look out for something better than I've already got, so when I came across Evan Waterless coolant I thought...

Re: my Aprilia Superleggera project

Glad to hear you have fixed the paintwork on the fuel tank, as you say it could have been worse if it had happened after it had been lacquered. Bonus it's now better than it was before :thumbup: Chris. yeah it's getting there now and as you say anything that happens before the clear can be easily f...

Re: my Aprilia Superleggera project

Good work Budd :clap: The colour scheme looks the business :D A shame about the tank falling like that after all your hardwork, I'm sure you'll make it good though, Chris. I considered quite a few different colour schemes I wanted something quite simple and basic and not a full on race replica, the...

Re: my Aprilia Superleggera project

now that looks proper... love the kinda Endurance look.. when i done mine i ended up using a length of drain pipe from B&Q :eek2 I did consider that option but was worried the plastic wouldn't bond to the fibre glass very well, so made my own using GRP on the assumption that the same stuff it w...

Looking very nice Budd :thumbup: Painting stuff, grrrr :twisted: Nothing worse than bleeding, runs I can handle. That red mist when you peel the tape off is unreal.

Re: yorkshire 2018

Is anyone interested in organising this ride out? Over the years it's been well subscribed and generally very enjoyable. Typically it was Flattys baby but he seems to have gone to ground lately so in his absence does anyone else fancy a crack at sorting it? Their are some great riders roads up and a...
