Bought a spare front wheel which happens to be silver so stuck it in to see what it’s like, and squirted some white paint on the mudguard 

Have you consulted your colour guru?

Getting very close to test ride time now, and then paintwork!!!?????

 

I still think the paint on my year old  92 WN i had is the best scheme ever.

But i dont think it will work with no fairing!!

 

 

 

 

 

[fatblokeonbandit]

Oooo it looks the part

[TonyGee]

You've got a big one their F.B.  

[fatblokeonbandit]

 I was being grumpy as I have to go visit the brother and his tribe today, so Mrs fatbloke banished me to the garage until lunch time

 

so I found a tin of blue paint.

 

Carma restored....

 

 

[fatblokeonbandit]

now 25 grams lighter.

 

[fatblokeonbandit]

So its time for a test flight as its still MOT'd, insurance £76 !!!!!!!!!!!

But it is officially Blowing a Hoolie out there, so Id better postpone the first ride until the wind drops below gale force.

 

One thing I might need in the future, a slabby braced swinger?? Anyone got a spare one, ????

[fatblokeonbandit]

Well bolloxxxx!!! All ready to go for  a lap of the Trowbridge GP circuit, got my hat on started bike up and pumped the lever to free the clutch off, and the. Bastard second hand clutch cable broke  !!!ARSE!!!!!

Wemoto do an OEM quality pattern one (750 teapot with the 90 degree end) for about 9 quid. I bought one and was much impressed. They list them on eb@y

Excellent shipmate I’ll get one on order

[fatblokeonbandit]

Well that was strange??? Took it to bits and the cable wasn't broke, but very slack.

All i can think was the pushrod wasn't seated correctly and dropped into location when i pumped it., or the worm drive was not in propely.. But seems OK now ive adjusted it all up again??   

 

I think ill get a new cable anyway.

 

 

 

 

 

[TonyGee]

that'll be the worm drive just not quite set right, seen this a few times, 

[busa ash]

Great read garry not been on here for quite some time .

Good luck with your progress 

[fatblokeonbandit]

Got bored polishing the tank, so as soon as the rian stopped i went for a quick 5 mile lap....

 

The rears too low, needs more ride height, the chain is as slack as a yak, front tyre is wank, needs changing tooot suite... The front end is epic otherwise, brakes brilliant and suspension just right. Motor pulls well but needs setting up properly, and the clocks are on the wonk.!!!!!

But all in all a very successful test flight.

 

 

 

[fatblokeonbandit]

So ride height adjustment, plenty of thread on the shock but almost no clearance between the spring and linkage, wound the shouck up 2 turns and it touched and the shock wouldnt move, so went back to one turn and it was fine. seat heights still a bit low but its noticable better.. I might try filing the corner of the linkage where it touches,

 

 

[fatblokeonbandit]

I need some more weather protection for the electrics as it’s a bit open under the seat..

as im Totally inept as joining metal together using the “hot metal glue”method I’m using bolts, and all the ally is from the scrap bin at work, so it’s good for the Environmentalists

I couldn’t work out why it was on the pissthen I stuck a straight edge across the back !!!!!!!!!

The seat base needs to come up a bit to get my arse in the right position, so I’ve stuck a chod of  wood under for now and find a

plastic block later once it’s all in the right place
