Manawatu Rant n Rave

S1000RRRRRRRR is where it's at now

Yeah but they sound so average... And it's a... BMW.

Around the other way the "Oxford" is up the right way..........a bit weird actually as they say in the book to fit them however it works as long as you don't foul anything, so why would they put their brand name upside down when turned like mine? It's not as it needs to be like that so you can see "Oxford" up the right way from underneath the bars....




If you can understand any of this then you're doing better than me...

Umm... yeah... I think I got it...

The throttle grip is glued, the other isn't. Had the throttle grip come loose on the Connie a while ago while you were beating me to the tag - not a nice experience. Superglue seems to last 54,000km or so...

Oh right, I must've been reading back to front

Superglue is shite, but better than hairspray Better to use industrial sealer, as you have plenty of time to get them sorted. Then once set (few hours), they don't come loose.............ever.

Yeah, but removing a coil would sort that

[bogan]

dont suppose anyone has a spring compressor that would suit shock springs? otherwise will have to use a bunch of zip ties

Zip ties are fun. Like a pussy version of Russian Roulette.

yeh, turns out i didn't have enough, machined up a bit of pipe to slip over the bottom with some hole in to pull out the spring holder bits and un-did it in the workshops press, worked real good. Except it doesn't have fuck all travel, I thought linked shocks were sposed to have more travel than non-linked ones, this has same 36mm, bah.

I can sell you an invisible tyre for that invisible bike no problem, infact I can sell you a thousand invisible tires, sell them cheap too...

Yea i will take it
