  1. If you are in Ghana surely you just tell the vendor if it gives you trouble you`ll return and shoot him ! Cheers Ian
  2. As @Mississippi Bullfrog said put the hammer away for a bit. Lube then heat is correct. You have removed the 2 small bolts that secure the plate that slides over the splined output shaft and that assembly is what retains the sprocket. In theory you just lift that washer from the shaft and wriggle the sprocket off. All that is holding you back at the moment is corrosion so lube heat and repeat. Cheers Ian
  3. +1 for Lomo stuff excellent value and good performance. Also I seem to remember back in the day a lot of people used soft panniers on the superdream Hondas and the Oxford ones available seem great. I have a pair you could try if you are ever down this way save buying and regretting. Cheers Ian
  4. +1 for Gems been with them for a while following a chat with six30 who was in the motor trade at the time and as it covers the person rather than the vehicle it works for us and they were able to point us in the direction of discounted European cover for when we went away on the Tigger. Cheer Ian
  5. I seem to remember hearing that the young hip things are apparently not using facefook anymore as it`s to much dominated by their parents generation. Personally don`t know if that`s true as I never go there either. Cheers Ian
  6. That barman must be pretty old by now ! Cheers Ian
  7. Are there many mountains near Haverhill? I`ll get my coat. Cheers Ian
  8. Wrong topic lol hopefully a mod will move my post to the insurance thread ? Cheers Ian
  9. Not making a profit ! Just heard on the radio that when Van Gogh`s Sunflowers was sold as the most expensive painting ever at Christies (a fair few years ago) it was bought by an insurance company for the art museum they were setting up in their h.q. Couldn`t make it up ffs. Cheers Ian
  10. Potential riding assistant decided to try the Harley for size. Cheers Ian
  11. Can these things not be attended by a nominated friend or family member? Lol Cheers Ian
  12. Hi you might like to try this? I got it as I couldnt justify the cost of the brand named one and it has been great. Cheers Ian
  13. @S-Westerly Let us know your shore dates then. I am sure we can be flexible. E.G I am away late April and late Oct. Cheers Ian
  14. That first weekend in Sept seems fine to me if its available ? Cheers Ian
  15. It might be worth reading @Tinkicker `s VFR restoration articles as he covered all aspects on this great machine. Cheers Ian
  16. we get 1st legal walkies following vaccinations tomorrow! Someone can't wait, the local population have been warned and all bunnies are quaking in their burrows lol. Cheers Ian
  17. @manxie49 Is the campsite at the trout farm in Kirk Michael still going? (Clearwater trout farm??). We used to use that as a group with the bikes in a long wheelbase transit and it worked out very slightly less than scandalous if there were 5 or 6 of us going. Cheers Ian
  18. I can see the use of some dogs in the workplace though. Cheers Ian
  19. Oh good grief yes Toc 6 pots Arrgh ! ask anyone who has ridden a Busa! Awful brakes best replaced with Triumph 2 pots or similar, strangely enough the calipers work fine on my ZRX which probably backs up the comments about Suzuki master cylinders. Cheers Ian
  20. I know you have probably tried it but leave it overnight with the lever held pulled in to the bars with a strap or tie of some kind and then see if it is better in the morning, sometimes this can encourage stubborn air bubbles to move. Sorry for stating the obvious if you have already thought of it. Cheers Ian
  21. I think they are just worried about his potential for causing serious injury lol. Cheers Ian
  22. Fear! Don't talk to me about fear ! Local council and police have insisted on knowing this one's whereabouts at all times. Cheers Ian
  23. Yes the Harley indicator thing is amusing to say the least. I am on my third Harley in the last 6 years and I still don`t get it lol. I believe older BMW`s used to have the same affliction lol, hmm similar old school agricultural twins (scurries for shelter swiftly!) Cheers Ian
  24. So pleased to hear you are enjoying it ! Yes the torque can be a bit addictive lol. Are you still running std exhausts and air filter? Hope you have many happy miles but please remember to secure it as much as possible, they are desirable to scumbags. Cheers Ian
