Andrew just a left field idea. My KTM has a tilt switch on it. Its located behind the barrel above the crankcase. It kills the engine in the event of a fall. You haven’t got one of those thats not “...
Wow ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ You were lucky to have good contacts, that was a costly drop. Everyone can make mistakes and damage things but to cover it up and say nothing , deserves the boot.

My 61 Beezer tank needed the original badly applied liner removing. After removing it and the residual loose rust using the bag of nuts and screws squirled in white spirit method, I discovered a pin...
When you sit on the seat , it moves under your weight and sticks out. Or you didnt have the fuel tank fitted when you measured .
Last throw of the dice , its too tall for your wee legs!

Bit of bling for my F700GS . Sargent World Performance seat. I think the red piping brings out the frame.

Keep it original paint wherever possible, always the best option on classics, long term it will add value. Short term it just looks correct for the period
If it was me I wouldnt do it as the swing arm is a stressed member and any cracks will only end in pain. On my Kawasaki, where any penetration or item is hung off the frame the big K have welded a...
I noticed that too, Im not a big Harley fan but the side view of that bike looks smart. It certainly fills the frame with engine!
This ^^^^^^^^. I really like the paint scheme. It will be ready just in time for a lifting in restrictions and the nice weather, grobber - grob - grob :)
Andrew what’s the small rectangular display below the sat nav. Is that std Ducati, or something you have added.

Ooh that 900ss, the kind of bike I spent my early youth dreaming about and admiring. They were always out of reach financially, and even now at £24k for the example below, more-so!

That Laverda is a big lads bike. It looks lovely.
I remember whilst at College a Jota spanking my pals brand new Z1. The owner of the Z1 thought an Italian “cast iron engine” wouldnt stand a...
What a cracking conversion , I can see that being featured in a Paul Smart Story

Andy I dont even own a Triumph but I still watch in awe as you customise your bikes to suit you. The booster resonates with me as a common mod for BMW GS 650/700/800 is to fit a booster plug to clean...
Im enjoying playing spot the difference, easy ones, wheels front mudguard, but then you get to covers and......
Ps Andrew did you panic buy WD40? :)
Well that’s my Thursday night sorted , looking at the satin black parts fitted to Andy’s bike, plus I guess the tank.
How does the 2020 Speedmaster compare to your outgoing bobber ? as its...
Gyp remember the French dropped all their speed limits by 10km in 2018. So often Sat navs tell you speed is higher than actual. Sone towns are now 20 kmh 12 mph, loads of people being done the last...
That is a neat job, full stop.
Andy thats a fantastic tank, new bike Sunday, new tank Tuesday, 600 mile service Thursday and blacked out bits fitted by the weekend. Im in
Steve.
That looks nice but whilst not wishing to be a pedant there is no supplier of the plate on the bottom. I only ask as my pal has a Multistrada and he was stopped recently by a traffic cop asking where...
Andy is there someone to ask for , or do you just turn up. The crash bars on my GS700 are looking pretty ropey now, having done a few winters and of course having deflected a young deer!
How long...
Nice one
Andy , are those bits back on the bike?. Im driving past Woods today and may pop in to have a gander at your new steed.

Thats where I went wrong , the guy who installed mine just popped the bulb in and located the ballast. However the old adage of “night and day” could not be truer. Coming home after a 2:10 shift over...
