MacV2 mobile fitting and troubleshooting service
What a star when he saw my predicament with a knackered oil line - he dashed up from sunny Grain with a set of his very own refurbished oil lines from stock and fitted them! Along the way he tinkered with my sidestand that had slowly through the years gone wonky as well, and top it off he even looked the house over for mice that my moggy keeps bringing in.
We got away without having to drain the sump oil by leaning it over at 45 degrees each side - so now all sorted with new corrosion resistant pipes and new SS hose mated onto old end fittings . Mac has photos of my shameful old pipe where the salty roads have eaten away at the chrome and into the thin metal pipe that eventually rusted away leading to a pinhole and spurty out oil under pressure After he left to let me give the bike an overdue spit & polish I found the senile old git had left his phone behind. As he won't be needing it in hospital any offers for it?

I'll give you one finger of fudge for it
Re: MacV2 mobile fitting and troubleshooting service
Give him a ring, he'll come back for it
Hope he realises he's not got the phone before he gets too far, we've all become so dependant on the things it's hard to imagine how we coped before
Nice job on the oil lines

Re: MacV2 mobile fitting and troubleshooting service
It's too red, the light is almost directly above which isn't ideal for the photo; you parked it a little too far from the kerb, and despite leaving your phone miles from home yesterday you can't keep track of your key.
Lastly it looks like your rear tyre is a pound or a pound and a half psi under pressure.
Happy to help

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
