Fitted my new mirrors and they're looking good. £18 from evilbay  :evil

[Fazer99]

Finally replaced my cracked inlet manifold connecting rubbers. Bloody hell what a difference, the popping noise has all gone and it just feels so much smoother to ride. Next job on the list is fitting the new Afam chain and sprocket set that I have sat waiting in the garage, but I'm going to try and wait for after the winter before fitting that.

Got those back from the chrome factory.
The gear arm was looking bad after 18 years!

Was a hard slog but i renewed and refitted a gear lever rubber.  mash

I need a new one of those and the local stealer wanted £7+VAT

Gonna cost me more than that now anyway, the one i bought totally does the job but has a brand new outer diameter of 16mm, which is less than the OEM one.
Saying that, half my OEM one looked chewed to bits anyway so it doesn't really matter, but i just fancied it a tad bigger if possible.
I couldn't find the damn thing at all on the AJ Sutton site, but after a bit of research it turns out that the very large majority of gear levers use the same standard fitting measurements of 8mm inner diameter and 40mm length, so i ordered this one which i'll get in the next couple of days.

Yes I looked into it a couple of years ago as mine is chewed up and came to the conclusion that most are a standard fit, but that ebay one I think is round but I think I am right in saying that the oem one is oval.
I wil let you pay for the ebay one and then await your in depth report with pictures and fitting instructions

You won't notice the difference whether it's round or oval, but i did notice the slightly smaller diameter on my toe.
I'm almost certain the 20mm one will be better, for me anyway.

Nice -- how much, and what about the link arm

[Bimbam]

100 euro include a new link arm.

100  :eek
I will stick to my polishing mop on my bench grinder.
Sorry its only Arther picture but you get the idea, but to keep it like that it needs a coat of lacquer which will degrade after time, unlike yours which will stay.

2 hours in company with The Fazer and ELO. And loud if you want.

[tommyardin]

Turned my bike into a bit of art.

Really like the art work what programme did you use to creat that Darssi?

[tommyardin]

What have I done on my Fazer today? absolutely nothing, much to cold.
But:Here is a old photo that showed up a couple of years ago when an old Auntie of mine died up in Ealing.
The photo is a 1949 498cc Norton single that belonged to my Uncle Fred, I am on the pillion and my big brother Mick is on the front. The photo was taken outside my house in Ealing in 1952.
I still wear them foccing shorts lol :lol

[Dave48]

Well the Norton has improved with age :lol

[slappy]

Foc me, never mind the shorts, I can still remember wearing the same sort of sandals / shoes when I was a young'un.

[Dave48]

But to answer the post properly, like Tommy its a bit cold for me so have charged up the battery, changed the oil & put a cover over the bike.
Having said that I did put 100 mils on the Tracer @ the weekend once i had put the winter linings in my jacket & troosers-dont like being cold!

[tommyardin]

Well the Norton has improved with age :lol

Cheeky Foccer  :lol

I would start a new post but I cant remember how to start one, so as Its to do with my Fazer I will use this one, hope its not seen as a hi jack.
If some one would email me or message me and remind me where to go to start a new post I would be grateful.


Well my Fazer: I have been slowly gather up bits for a winter service, I did a massive one last year, oil and filter, air filter, drained, refilled and bled brake fluid back and front.
drained flushed cooling system, refilled with red 5 year antifreeze, new plugs, new fuel filter.


This year I am just doing oil and filter as I have only done about 4K this year, so other stuff is still OK.


My winter project is the suspension, I have the Nitron rear shocker (Not just the Nitron that's a shocker, so was the price) I am going to purchase linear front springs, I have been looking at Ohlins on various website for about £100, but none of the websites seen to give an option to choose a spring to suit my body weight, I was under the impression that was the idea to choose a spring that matches your weight in full riding gear.


I have been chatting with some smart guys on here and I am going down the emulator route, as they seem to be a positive customisation.
I have access to pillar drills to open up the orifices/ports in the damper rods and drill a couple of new 8 or 9mm holes to overcome the effect of the oil damping by the damper rods.
Anyone have any ideas about where to purchase emulators in this country? As the seem to be as rare as rocking horse poo.


I am thinking about taking off the rear hugger, as the Nitron is such a nice looking bit of kit it seems a shame to hide some of it with a hugger, I don't ride in the rain if I can help it, so having the Nitron exposed a bit more should no be an issue.
Any thoughts or advice on where to buy the springs and emulators would be much appreciated. :kiss [/size]

If you've never done it before, use Radflush next time you change the coolant, it gives the waterways a good old cleanout and will keep it in tip top condition for a couple of years.

Sold it.. Becoming a habit  :rolleyes
