  1. Search eBay for bits like gaskets etc.......Most spares suppliers have an eBay shopfront these days...... While you're working on the bike I'd be inclined to check steering head and wheel bearings, and replace if necessary.....strip and clean and refurb the brakes too.......and check all electrical connections for corrosion, etc.......
  2. You need to start a new thread, mate.......
  3. The TOR's on my Speed Triple sound really nice.......not too loud, but nice and throaty....... You may need to remap the ECU for the Arrow can though.......to get the best out of it.......
  4. Congrats mate.......onwards to the DAS now then......
  5. I was in East London this morning and heading back to the car after having my breakfast, a young woman came out of a building ahead of me and casually dropped her empty yoghurt pot onto the pavement. Funnily enough, a local wino saw her and made her pick it up and put it into a bin.... Says something when the wino cares more about his neighbourhood than this young woman!! The look the wino gave me whilst he was berating her made me chuckle though....
  6. Welcome to TMBF mate......pop over to the Newbies section and introduce yourself to the guys when you can........ Try another bulb first......but this time try not to touch the glass with your fingers......
  7. Any ideas what I can do? Do you think bleeding them will help?
  8. Can't seem to upload the photo... Check the file size.......If it's too big it won't upload. Be careful when "modifying" the exhaust as it could mess up the fuelling.......
  9. Guitar...... Listening to music....... Reading (when the mood takes me)
  10. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ph7BfQlBkk8&sns=em
  11. Optional meal...... Open to anyone who fancies coming along......
  12. This'll spark some discussion.....
  13. I was just yanking your chain, mate.......I knew what you meant.....
  14. agreed, it's just the thought of anybody using a blowlamp to heat up the screws on the carb But the sparks from a cutting wheel on a dremel will be OK. .....
  15. One of the issues around the Lower Lode is the lack of non - camping accommodation there.......and the scarcity of taxis to take folks back to the few hotels in the area at the end of the evening........along with a few other issues. So, if anyone knows of a suitable venue that is fairly central in the country please let us know. We've been scouring the Internet for suitable places, but nothing has ticked all the boxes yet.
  16. Hi guys, we're looking at holding a Christmas meal/drink at the Falcon Tavern in Huntingdon Market Square. http://www.falcontavern.co.uk/ If you fancy coming along, vote for your preferred date (s) asap and GOG has volunteered to make the necessary arrangements with the Falcon. They do a good selection of beers at reasonable prices.......and I think the food is pretty good too...... And it's a bit bigger than last year's venue too..... Hoping to see a few of you guys there.......and it's an open invitation for everyone......so don't be shy......
  17. You need to do it on a gixxer ........ Hence the question about fitting knobblies to it........looks like fun though......
  18. But there's no reason why you can't sort your own meet.....there's enough of you guys north of the border to get a good group together.....
  19. Sounds like a plan, GOG....... I'd say either the 11th, 12th, 18th or 19th December ( depending on when most folks can make it) I guess we should start a new thread....
  20. I've not tried these gloves......but I do like Held gloves. My summer gloves are Held and they're a good few years old now, and starting to fall apart......but I just can't bear to replace them as they are so comfortable......
  21. Was great to see you guys again. Slightly chilly ride in both directions, but we'll worth it....... Yeah, we'll have to sort out a Christmas drink Steve......but may need to find a slightly bigger pub than last year's. ......nice pub, but a bit intimate...... Maybe the Falcon in Huntingdon market square?......not been in there recently though........GOG?
  22. Wrist band worn all year.......and normally get one of the small enamel poppies........
  23. Welcome to TMBF mate...... Practice makes perfect........just stick with it and keep practising......
  24. What is this "cleaning leathers" of which you speak?...... I used to use saddle soap for cleaning them, and then a bit of Neatsfoot oil to feed the leather.......but these days I don't bother......
  25. Tango

    Stiff brake

    Like Joe found, just check that the plunger on the master cylinder is located correctly in the recess on the lever if it has one......
