I have no idea of what I'm doing!

fk knows how to set up an eBay account or a posh website so "F$%$ " it is what it is ( "Fk knows" was my tech support )

As I approach retirement, and parasite Palace has pissed me retirement money against the wall as well as never expecting a hand out especially from the powers that think they are

AND having collected a lot of bike parts ( especially CR250r stuff and a few Enfield bits )

The misses has given the hard word , If you retire you can sell the bike parts and get a part time job

So I made a deal,

anyway, I set up a website and of late added an ebay account ( wot a pain in the $%&%%$& that was )
https://enfield500nz.wixsite.com/477motorcycles

I will "attempt "to be all posh like but in a nut shell drop us a line through the website if you need a part for your bike it maybe cheaper it may not its worth an email
Finally why have I spammed me own thread ,,, :wacko::wacko::wacko::wacko::argh:

Stephen aka Brian certainly is Brian d'marged

OK hold that thought. I guess my recollection of that chart was incorrect. I've found on one of my hard drives a 58 page PDF catalog for TNK fork tubes which does list diameters and lengths but its going to require a manual search to find the diameter and length that I need - however I have more time than anything else right now , But thank you for the offer ]]> pete376403 https://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/entry.php/7069-Fork-tube-chart <![CDATA[ESE's works engine tuner]]> https://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/entry.php/7068-ESE-s-works-engine-tuner Mon, 28 Aug 2023 13:32:26 GMT

Four lightweight carbon brake pads can be made from one F1 pad.

That is by far the wildest racing adaption I have ever seen :drool:

How do you cut and grind the disks (Preferably without getting instant cancer).

I'm not restoring a bike at the moment cause i'm so pissed off with the shit work people do to be honest. Never asked for a price with, just a quality, and i'm also well aware you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear, been restoring bikes for near 40 years

They did one little job for me, which was removing the chrome from a brass fitting. Did a good job, reasonably quick, reasonably priced. would go there again if I ever get started on the old GS1100G resto. ]]> pete376403 https://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/entry.php/7059-Chrome-Plating-Christchurch Trump https://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/entry.php/7057-Trump Sat, 02 Apr 2022 06:24:47 GMT
