told you i would forget have a look here for connectors foz http://kojaycat.co.uk/epages/950000457. ... ors_Bullet

Read up Some things have changed so I'm waiting another year

Unfortunately well depends how you look at it actually! My bike is at my heated lock up 4 miles away so can't play with it but it gives me something to do on my days off

Just received this bracket to mount the shock

there is a few posts on this already so will be worth a search people have different opinions on whats the best i have a tomtom rider and it does me fine also your budget will decide which you buy too

nah mate and if i did it wouldnt be a R6

Its a TL1000s errr mine look here mate http://www.themotorbikeforum.co.uk/view ... 87&t=43122

yeah i can imagine it will also make it light work too not like when i did it by hand it almost killed me

the grinder is my first tool

nice job alan yeah stainless is pretty good at been polished up after scratched i got a stainless can a few years back that was a right mess all pitted from road salt give it a right good sand down with wet and dry going from course to very fine then finished off with autsol was a right good job but nothing like what you have done

oh yeah spring will come off easy too i just need some spring compressors if i cant get hold of any I will just cut it off with a grinder

I was but some things have changed so keeping it for at least another year!! there is a lot that look the same but they are either too long or too short not sure if anyone has checked out the triumph one

I baught a new bitubo for the TL about 2 years ago and was a great shock to start with but over time it has lost its damping so its time for a swap. I have done a bit of research and a R6/R1 shock will fit in by making up a mounting bracket or buying one off someone on another forum for £32 posted I think I will buy one as I don't have a lot of time to make one! The TL uses a separate spring and damper unit and when I fitted the Bitubo shock I sold the old spring unit so I have to source one of those too. Just been and picked up a R6 shock for £30 I need to remove the spring off it as all I will be using is the damper unit.

As above and some insurers will pay off the remaining premium if you owe anything out of the claim it happened to me a few years ago I think its to stop you cancelling after a claim

Looking good mate Have you been taking tips off me? It's usually me that strips a bike for fun Although I have a little project going at the min will be sticking a post up about it when I get the bits

Happy birthday sue hope yet have a good day

mine is plugged in and turned on all the time a mate of mine has his plugged in all the time too and never and i mean never uses his bike he covered 12 miles last year his battery has been fine for the 3 years its been plugged in could you have a dud charger mate ?

Yes when idling, 2-3 mins though max. i mean when you switch the bike off too? if so then yeah i bet that was the problem

cant go wrong with an optimate tried and tested ive had one for about 5 years

are all these still on when you stop at traffic lights?

could just be a little fuel evaporation too

i wouldnt say it was chain tension as it would do it in all gears

I already have a free pass Think they call it perks of the job

Not all bikes do infact most don't

There's a few that do that I have one called my tracks
