Try Halfords Professional sockets

Ive just bought a 13mm deep halfords socket for the Nuts [mention]Mr Fro[/mention] made me

My other deep sockets are halfords........if they break halfords will replace without receipt and no matter what age they are.....Win Win

You did well getting that far in a day

i'm only playing with beer money really, more out of curiosity than anything else. If I lost it all today at least it was fun!

Exactly Joe, That way you cant lose can you!

If I lost all profit then its been an education

It is making me think about branching into stocks And Shares though

And I ONLY use "Limit" Buy/Sells I dont touch "Market" Buy/Sells

Its simple really,

The way I see it is,

Think to yourself that the amount you have just invested has GONE! ...Think to yourself you will never see that £ again

NEVER invest anything you cant afford to lose

NEVER think it WILL make you rich

And any profit is a Plus

On these rules My initial investment ATM (@ current low prices) is at 290%

Oh and a "no fee" Trader Helps

That Just Screams FUN!!

30% drop in bit coin and $530 million hacked .... change of underpants time

The Market Panics at ANY bad news which isnt bad actually because it creates a buying opportunity

Weve seen it panic 3 times sine Jan 1st and bounce back

And Im still in profit too

Compression test or leakdown?

As said at the begining

Also have you checked the spark to make sure it is on all cylinders AND the spark is healthy?

Well Done

I didnt know there was a 150

Im Wondering what a "good price" was

A low mileage restored one is in the £8000+ bracket

I would Clean it up and make a profit,

Lets be real here...........as a road bike they suck! ...you could finance a really nice (possibly new or very low mileage) 600 for what you get for the Kettle

I can recommend ebay user "motorcycle_recycle" for cables

I got one a couple of months ago and it was a direct replacement

A Kettle is an Odd Choice for a learners road bike

 

 

Could be a Kwak GT750

I thought of that,

But he says 1972, Kwak was 1982 onwards

Unless he got years wrong

A Kettle is an Odd Choice for a learners road bike

They are usually a collectors bike

If its been restored do yourself a favor and store it and sell it in a few years at a profit

Thats a LOT more confident!

And you have the Revs up higher than before

Glad you sorted a good instructor now

Now Thats Funny!

A HUGE THANKS to

None of them were Inocent

I doubt there would be a problem if you stick to the "load properly secured" rule

No sharp edges ....blah blah

Weve all seen home made bikes that frankly should not be allowed on the road,

But part of your project is to explore (as you are doing) the legality of it all

We want pics of the finished project though

And hopefully the whole process

Got my block and head booked in for skimming this time next week (thursday)

You could try these guys.......http://www.rsbikepaint.com/en-gb/colours.php

WoW What a fantastic link......bookmarked!

I must be in the minority ..........my helmet never stinks

Jack positioned underneath and lowered engine down

Im not patronising you and It sounds really silly to mention and obvious but "just" in case you havnt thought of it......use wood between the jack and engine

Never know....you have so much going on in your head ATM you may have not thought of it

I will first try to remove, or see if it is possible to remove the head while in the frame. But, if I can tilt it down then I will go for that. Hopefully it won't be too obstructed by the forks, or the wheel.

I plan to try and video the work so I can document it on here for everyone to see.

That way, as I am not a trained mechanic (all my knowledge comes from here and YouTube), I want to show other people with no skill that they can save a few quid (or thousand) by getting their hands a little bit dirty.

And, hopefully it will be a success!

I The front wheel on is going to compound things .......but your going to be doing this all on the side stand

Front and rear stands arnt that expensive anymore but I understand when your budget is stretched

Why don't you buy a clamshell cover or summat that you can work under? At least have a bike cover, then you can do some work and if it starts to rain, cover the dismantled bike up. You don't have to do all the work in one day.

[mention]megawatt[/mention] is right you WILL need a cover.......you will need a break and it will take more than one day because you will realize no

matter how organized you are that you need something else not factored into the job.....then your gonna have to wait for that bit to turn up........its the

nature of the job in hand

[mention]BigHeavy1095[/mention] your throttle control will match a bigger bike nicely.
