Myself, Exupnut and ChristoT got a bit too excited about he London meet and so decided to meet each other today for a bit of a rideout and good ol' fashion chin-wag before catching up with everyone else next week. Naturally this meant a photo opportunity was in order

crazy fools,the lot of you

Excellent

How's this for a laugh? A chap was looking round my student house earlier today (the landlord is selling it). I thought he looked familiar, then I twigged: he was the instructor who'd failed me my CBT last February, and had jinxed my Mod 1 in Enfield in May!!! I asked him what he rode, and he replied a Fazer Thou. Whereupon, I gave the correct salute, AND HE RESPONDED!!

He didn't know about either the forum or the rideout, so I told him about both. No idea if he'll show though.

Disaster has struck

Attempted to remove the existing downpipes today which appear to be the originals. Needless to say they are in bad condition and naturally, the god damn exhaust studs have decided to snap

I've ordered new ones, but they take 3-5 days for delivery so I may be screwed for this Sunday

ChristoT · « **Reply #105 on:** 29 January 2013, 04:06:11 pm »

Noes! That sucks, will keep fingers crossed for ya!

red98 · « **Reply #106 on:** 29 January 2013, 04:42:46 pm »

is ther enough of the stud left to remove them easily....as a quick fix you could use a 6mm bolt and cut the head off

Dead Eye · « **Reply #107 on:** 29 January 2013, 04:52:17 pm »

There is enough of the stud left thankfully, so I may try and head to good ol' B&Q and see what they have available. Do the studs have different threads for the nuts and the engine head?

red98 · « **Reply #108 on:** 29 January 2013, 05:32:18 pm »

no ....same size thread mate...look for m6....not sure how long the standard ones are but if you get oversized bolts you could cut them to length...at a guess i would say 70mm.....iunless any other foccer knows different

Dead Eye · « **Reply #109 on:** 29 January 2013, 06:32:12 pm »

Awesome, I'm not too worried about the situation just yet unless I manage to snap one of them off in the head... then I'm completely and utterly screwed

My query about the studs is due to the photo of the item;
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140544265329?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

It looks as though the stud end is M6 but the head could be larger?

red98 · « **Reply #110 on:** 29 January 2013, 09:02:37 pm »

oh yes.......see what you mean.......thats stumped me,any foccers know the answer ?...........6 / 8 mm parhaps,thats a guess ..........if you can get one of the studs out before you go to b & q,you will be sure to get the right one,but thinking about it you would have to make the hole bigger in the header collar

...it would still work though

Dead Eye · « **Reply #113 on:** 29 January 2013, 09:53:29 pm »

Yeah, sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread :P My original post was relevant at least haha

Kosmic Kartman · « **Reply #114 on:** 29 January 2013, 10:08:25 pm »

Sorry Folks.

Can't do this weekend as I need to take her indoors out for her birthday. Pub, meal then flicks (film with misserable in the title. I know what I'd rather be doing.)

She's letting me out to play for a five day biking extravaganza with some mates in March to Cornwall then Pendine in Wales so I need to keep her sweet as she cooks, washes and irons for me.

Fear not though. There WILL be another time when I will come out and play with you.

gutted also that it looks like rain on Sunday - which rules me out (it feels like I've been riding in the rain all week!). Anyone up for postponing to next Sunday?

Exupnut · « **Reply #121 on:** 01 February 2013, 10:00:40 am »

If it rains were goin to the ace but as of this mornin its sayin no rain so lets make a final decision saturday evening.
