Ahh right, it's just a cap... Well it's jammed, so had to dremmel a wider screw driver socket into it since I can't hammer it out :-( Anyway, all done thank you and new HH pads fitted. Glad to hear you got it done OK, these can be real PITA, particularly if the brakes haven’t been touched in a wh...

Ok so we got Yorks - coming from Ponte Budd - coming from Wakefield Flatline - coming from Shadwell Me - coming from Cleakheaton We can either meet up somewhere and ride up there together, or just meet up there at 9am say? We could meet at Jordan's bikes there? If you want to meet up before hand, I...

Anyone can call in to my place if you would like I am near the North Leeds ring road/A58 Wetherby roundabout Then over to Otley I'll be coming from Ossett nr Wakefield so that works for me, or maybe meet at Padgets in Dews and then out on batley rd to north yorks via Braford rather than through Lee...

sounds good to me where are you thinking of meeting up?

Nope :D Really keen to meet other owners, been a few years now riding alone :cry: Reckon a workshop will be great fun I've missed this thread as we've been away to the Manx, just got back infact the storm is still in the van!!! But I'm deffo up for this, as I too would lke to meet a few fellow owne...

Silver storm parked at the corner just after Brandish (hillberry ?), Burnt orange one parked outside a hotel on Douglas prom both spotted yesterday (tues 30th) 7 pm (ish) just as we were heading for the ferry home

I've been thinking about HIDs too, and they are cheaper than ever now, check this link http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HID-Motorcycle-Kit-H4-Bi-xenon-Hi-Lo-Slim-Ballast-4300K-/170654456488?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item27bbcc5aa8 at that money it may be worth a punt, I'd stick to the 4300K output an...

looks mega busy, any police activity/ usually on weds there's a few lurking to catch the unwary, i ended up taking the kids swimming so couldn't make it, anyone going over tonight?

yeah it's a bit of a nightmare at the moment, I've got cars stored in neighbours garages, a council lock up full of ‘stuff’, an Impreza in bits on the drive and a little paint cell set up in the garage, that’s why the garage looks so untidy I basically pushed everything to one side so I could ...

Thanks for the input guys, and I think the problem is combination of the ideas suggested in the last few posts, but first have look at this pic taken this morning in the sunlight. http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee300/budd_album/17082011819.jpg Match looks much better under sunlight, and while it...

Ok I've repaired and re-painterd the O/S fairing panel, however the colour I had mixed Y-124p isn't a perfect match, it's not quite as 'rich' see pic http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee300/budd_album/16082011817.jpg I'm wandering if A they haven't mixed the colour right, B the code is wrong for a ...

I'll post some pics when I get back

yes the powerbronze stuff is GRP so finish will be gel coat, and I think having a go with wet n dry then cutting compound would be the way to go in the first instance, although I’d try something like G3 rather than T-cut, gel coat is quite thick so you could get pretty aggressive with it before yo...

if they are OE fairing bits then they won't be gel coat, OE plastics are just that ABS plastic and are painted not gel coat, you genrally only find gel coat on kit cars and boats, even GRP race fairings are white gel coat then painted to suit, If they are OE parts then just paint as normal, flat off...

I wouldn't say the racing is faster than the TT, the top TT lads are in a different league, but it’s great never the less, IMO it’s not quite as manic as the TT lots of classic bikes too, so the atmosphere is a bit more laid back than the TT which is just bonkers. The main advantage the TT as is...
