I am sooooooo dead

Know the place so no probs finding it

10am sounds good

Sure

Where ya wanna meet and what time?

Why not

Im in the shite any how

A little deeper wont hurt

You'd have a bigger hole in the jet

I believe the BBC are doing a line that might suit

EDIT

On a serious note

Go with the Black

Doesn't nail varnish work too?

Suits you sir!

can i stick my name on this provisionally? i'm not quite sure what i'm doing that far ahead! and i think i'll bring a camera, 'cos i don't drink and i can spend the next few weeks after embarrasing the lot of you!

These were new and they just kept vibrating loose

Looks like I got nothing to worry about

Although I am a little concerned about the gathering of video evidence

The perchs are fine

Its the rest of the adjustable bits that were the pain

I put it down to the chrome on the threads not allowing the threadlock to grip

Got there eventually

Didnt think of that

If they come loose again I will give the tape a go

Its gone awfully quiet in here

The point of the weekend is to drink

Techno.. make a note about the cider and the tent n bag please (you make a real good secretary lol) x

DISCLAIMER

Let me just state here and now that should I get suitable anebriated

I AM NOT GAY!

It will be the drink!......... I am only being friendly! Very Friendly and believe me

YOU WILL FEEL THE LOVE

I have six lovely children. All growed up and producing their own sprogs

Cept Mat who wants to be a Royal Marine

Still want me to come?

John, the forum has a spare tent I can put your name too, and i have a couple of spare sleepin bags too

Let me know if u want them putting to one side

My friends may be coming up from Southampton, if so nothing to stop u jumping in their car for trip, but not 100% sure if they are or not.

Cool

Put my name down for the tent and sleeper then Pwweeeessse

Saves me carrying it

Will have to be travel up on the bike

Will take Slugs up on his offer me thinks

Otherwise

Jixerman

Hope there still enough tent space

The missus wont come

Will have to get some camping gear too

Tent

Sleep Bag

Ground Sponge Thingemejig

Not done this camping thing for a few decades

Anything else I need to be adding?

Tis but a tad too far for me

 

ill meet u if u want? ride with ya keep ya company u going on the a1 right?

Will check the mileage on RAC route planner before I commit

I will be brave and give the missus the option to come as well

Instead of asking if I can go

Tis but a tad too far for me

Not keen on the thread lock idea

I tried that with my mirrors

After a zillion attempts they now stay put

Would rather get some bolts turned

Thanks for the help Frankie

Appreciate it mate but I've tried all of those

Even went to the extreme of emailing some british custom cycle manufacturers without response

This really is a last ditch attempt to sourcing some off the shelf products.

The only other route will be to have them made bespoke

For that I will need to know the size of bolt i.e. M8 etc and the pitch of the thread of each and every bolt I wish to replace .

Looks like it'll be a long long process.

Good job I'm not planning on getting rid, even if I do go for the GSXR thou

Because I can?

Or rather cant, because I cant find any.

Thinking they will look good on my bike

I like them

And yes your all probably thinking.............wierdo

EDIT

p.s. I have seen them before not what Im after

Wonderng if they have stopped production because demand is not there anymore (out of fashion) or some safety related reason.

Right now I got your attention

I have been hunting high and low for some spiked nuts for my bike

These were very popular in the late eighties/early nineties

Gives the bike a bit of the Britsh Bulldog look.

So far all I have managed to come across are the snap on caps they use for Hogs and Hog Wannabees

or lightweight race replacements in various hues.

Does any body know if you can still get them for the jap bikes and in particular my Suzuki GSX750?

Cheers in advance

Edit: hope this is the right place to post

Thanks guys

Will give them a go

Think Ill try the foam ones as my hearing isn't so good and if the plugs are too good I wont hear a thing. Any noise reduction has to be good from the point of view of saving what hearing I have left.

Have always been reluctant to use any as I was concerned about safety and not knowing where the traffic is if I couldn't hear it.

What about helmet sanitiser?

Just a suggestion, never used it so i wouldnt know

I was advised to use wax by my mechanic who does track days

Reasoning

You can apply it the night before you go out and it dries onto the chain so that you dont get the spray off of it all over your bike.

Use daily if its raining and once a week in dry weather.
