So you're a fan of rimming, how about leaving the stock coating on and polish the rims

General / Re: Rust Killer - anyone ?« on: 29 March 2017, 12:11:25 pm »Yes I am a granma sucking eggs but I am still open to focer wisdom, especially if I have always sucked eggs the same way. More water will pass through the inside of an exhaust than it will ever see on the outside, thats why short journeys are bad for your exhaust system. Did mech engineering at college and seem to remember a figure of something stupid like 8 gallons of water vapour to 1 gallon of fuel. Have you considered removing the balance pipes and have the holes patched up, cant imagine it making that much difference to the running of the bike and should prolong the life of those pipes I know a good welder here in Grantham (not a million miles from you) and he's not expensive 106

FZS600 Fazer / Re: Rear sprocket bolts« on: 23 March 2017, 02:50:50 pm »They have steel inserts inside themI changed the sprocket on mine recently. The nuts that were on there were blue anodised aluminium. I don't trust aluminium nuts, particularly so when I don't know how long they've been on, how tight and how many times removed, so I got a stainless steel set from Pro-Bolt. They're nice and shiny, but not cheap at nearly 25 quid including postage.Aluminium would be an unusual material to make nuts from, are you sure they weren't titanium? Pro bolt are nice quality but well over priced 115

I can view the BT stream via cricfreetv, it has most of the sport channels.
Many cant get access as it asks them for a login, I have it saved in bookmarks in firefox and chrome and if one doesn't work for whatever reason the other always seems to. Worth a look 116
