If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

Simon, if all else fails, Scotts FZR isn't going to be running for a while (if ever) so I could probably get the cover from his motor. (even if the gear box parts arrive, still need to get the gasket set from Oz, find the time to pul it all apart, etc, etc)
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

Thanks Pete. If my fix job doesn't work I may be in need of a cover.
Actually, if it fails it'll probably be on the takas and will spill oil on my back tyre causing me to arse off into the traffic so I'll probably be looking for another bike
It hasn't leaked yet so fingers crossed...
Mike - I'm at home Monday. Back to work on Wednesday... Look me up.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

Hope it is all sorted out nowIt was all going so well.
I ripped the forks off this morning, replaced the oil, which was grey and kind of lumpy with the new purple coloured Spectro SAE20W.
All went perfect.
Then I took off the fairings to get the oil filter cover off to get at the oil filter.
Drained the oil out of the bike, undid the oil filter cover (its an aluminium finned jobbbie) and cleaned up the oily mess that landed all over my headers.
Got the new oil filter out. O-rings are the wrong size. Nevermind, I replaced them six months ago when I last did the filter.
Check with the Haynes manual. 15Nm of torque to do it up to, put everything back as per the manual, and just as the torque wrench goes 'click', so does the filter cover.
Hmm. Sounds a bit dodgy. Nevermind, fill er up with oil.
Start it up, and there's oil pissing out of the bolt hole in the front of the filter cover. It's got a bloody crack right down it.
Shit.
Needless to say, parts are only available ex-Japan (six weeks) and cost is around $150.
Not what I needed. So, looks like no bike for six weeks.
Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.
