Hi Peeps.
Anyone know of a trusted powder coating in Yorkshire area, S/Yorks preferably that can do a proper bare metal strip & powder coat bike wheels.


Just had a wheel fucked up by a so called wheel specialist in Gainsborough (PB Powder Coatings / Gainsborough).
Avoid these muppets at all costs, only used them based on good reviews, just goes to show reviews count for nowt.


Cheers  :thumbup

Hi-de-hi.


Bit of a warning about the tossers trading as Wezmoto.
Purchased a set of braided hoses for my Gen1 refurb that's been in progress for the last year or so, she's nearly done Hooray.


Yes it's been a while since purchase, only opened up pack yesterday, hence a bit shocked in what I found, the Stainless banjo's drillings are full of swarf, spent a good while cleaning em out with a small drill bit & a good flush out with brake cleaner.


Checked hoses & OMG!

These clowns have made me up a set with crimped in banjo's & basically fucked em up, banjo's crimped in wrong position with wrong ends fitted.
Messaged em via Ebay explaining their error.
Shop Reply:Stick hose in vice & force crimped banjo into a better position.
My reply: Are u having a laugh, they're made wrong by you!
Shop reply: We'll only accept a return if within 30 days of purchase.


Basically front hoses are scrap, rear is ok & fits as it should.
If anyone needs a Brand new Braided (Black) rear hose with stainless fittings, I have 1 for sale £15 posted.


Hope this post helps anyone else having the same issue.


Personally I'll never use these tossers again, your money, your choice.

I searched for a new fiberglass bellypan, mostly on Ebay. There are a few, but i didn't like the shape. And the price.
So I turned to good old Aliexpress, and found a modern looking belly pan - I mean "engine spoiler" for the BMW F900R/XR. I ordered a set, knowing that maybe I cannot fit it, and have to throw it into the trash. But, for the price (US$ 42) it worth a try. After a lof of cutting and welding converted the BMW specific mounting hardware to fit the FZS, and also had to cut out some plastic on the left to avoid a cooling hose. Here's the result:

Does anyone know of where I can find some decails or paint proection for the rear tail plastic. Im looking to protect the paint directly behind the pillon seat when I carry stuff on the back.

So came across this and thought what a cool idea - https://www.hepco-and-becker-luggage.co.uk/# (Code: 670403 00 01). Has anyone ever fitting this or something like this..?

        Recently fitted a new rear tyre to my old faithful Gen1, now the rear brake pedal goes right down after getting on the bike and riding it, even after bleeding the brake.  Question is have I turned over the seals in my rear master cylinder by forcing the disc between the pads and possibly forcing the piston back as can happen with other braking systems?  If so can I strip the cylinder and simply correct the seals or do I need a new set?  Or any suggestions?  :thumbup  I have bled many bike brakes before but never had this issue.  Many Thanks!
