  1. Hopefully you will get it sorted now
  2. The one on my slabby is the same size and height as the original, on some motobats there is a removable base that unclips to adjust height in the battery tray,it's a yellow cage that fits on the bottom of the battery. i have 3 motobats on 2 suzooks and 1 non Suzuki and have not seen this problem so far,good luck on sorting it
  3. I remember riding from Notts in the wet on my old Kat and having to dry my gloves on the engine when I got there
  4. Me too it was wet that day reg the veg,mez mellor and Dixon on the rg500 or was it always wet at Thruxton
  5. Thats where I'll be going Paul once I track down the right affordable old skool doner bike
  6. If it was an EFE with all that kit I'd be tempted
  7. A few more parts arrived yesterday and today to add to the rebuild collection
  8. Pic of the knackered stantions with a nice freshly rebuilt one
  9. Yellow is a good colour in my opinion
  10. Paid £48 for my slabbie last year from wemoto, they are normally around the £50 mark depending on the model
  11. Hopefully sometime this year,maybe ready before the summer,assembling a small collection of parts just need to get some shed time to get her sorted
  12. Same here got them on all my bikes
  13. 1st update for a while as I've been away from the shed after an unexpected knee op Forks back from @gsxr884 thanks Rich, fully serviced with new stanchions and YSS emulators will post pics of the old ready to snap ones when I'm home at the weekend. Would highly recommend Rich at CP Racetech for an honest no nonsense service, I might have rebuilt the forks and missed the issue but his eye for detail spotted the old dodgy repair on them, probably saved me a trip an ambulance in the near future
  14. Hopefully there Saturday with the missus mate will stop by for a natter
  15. Deffo not a slabby one maybe someone else on here can identify it for you
  16. I here ya on that one Paul, I could bring my R1...oops I mean RGV if I ever get it back together
  17. You're right there it was pissing freezing last year
  18. Thought I should post a progress report, the sad news is the rear shock is goosed so need to save for a replacement,the good news is the forks will live again but need a little bit of work to make them safe,some muppet has previously straightened them but not in a good way so they aren't far off snapping. Next job is to strip the loom off the frame and clean it up whip the carbs off and ultrasonic clean them Then clean the tank and repair the fuel tap which flows when off and on Busy making a list of parts I still need to acquire and removing parts for powder coating to. Could do with more time in the shed than at work
  19. Having a top end rebuild tuned heads and cougar pv's plus uprated pulleys, zeeltronic and nice new cables so should be good once sorted and adjusted correctly
