  1. That is exactly the same compression tester that I use, works OK for me. Don't know about the charger though but I don't see why not, it is a 12v with 4A so it seems fine.
  2. Cheers, The engine was a nightmare to do, basically I degreased it using Gunk and some aircraft engine cleaner I had, and then a rotary brass wire brush and several days work. Then I painted it with Halfords metallic black engine paint, which is a kind of grey, and silver engine paint. The forks are R1 forks with an XJR 1300 front wheel, hence the home made spacer to replace the speedo drive. Ta.
  3. A very tired nurse walks into a bank, totally exhausted after a 16-hour shift. Preparing to write a cheque, she pulls a rectal thermometer out of her purse and tries to write with it. When she realises her mistake, she looks at the flabbergasted teller, and without missing a beat, she says: ‘Well, that's great...that's just great... some as*hole's got my pen!'
  4. Well I'm around 14½ stone at the moment and am trying to reach my target weight of 16 stone in time for Christmas so I'm off down the pub and then the chippy on the way home.
  5. Belgom Alu is very good and does leave a protective coating which does last for a while. When the alloy becomes dirty, clean with wet wipe and re-do the Belgom Alu. It's what I use all the time. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v161/dieffe123/Bikes/PICT0031.jpg

    IOS7

    How risky is it to upgrade my iPhone to this new IOS7? I have just read that if I do the world will end, well, some my apps won't work which is the same thing.
  7. How many mice does it take to screw in a lightbulb............. two, but I don't know how they got in there.
  8. I used rotary wire brushes and lots of engine cleaner and degreaser on my FZR engine. I then painted it with aluminium engine paint and Halford's metallic black engine paint (which comes out a metallic grey). A lot of work but worth it. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v161/dieffe123/FZR%201000/29092011127a.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v161/dieffe123/FZR%201000/29092011129a.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v161/dieffe123/FZR%201000/17102011163a.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v161/dieffe123/FZR%201000/z22102011181.jpg
  9. We do c-spanners for shocks but only one size at the moment, 58mm diameter. Worth measuring yours to see if they'll fit. http://www.ccdieffe.com/twin-shock-pre- ... -163-p.asp

  11. Saw this on another forum so I thought I'd share it. Sorry if it's been on here before.

    636 forks

    I just got some 636 USD forks to go on the Zephyr, any recommendations where to get a set of billet yokes that don't have 300 bolts in and preferably less than 6" thick?
  13. Our course was about 4½ hours, if you leave before the end you are deemed as not attending and it's back to 3 points and 60 quid.
