Chop block on a motorbike ?????

And I criticised Pigford for using preinsulated terminals

Quite right Chris

When I'm PM I shall ban the sale of pre-insulated terminals as a major contribution to road safety

They're a bloody menace :evil:

.... as for choc blocks :roll:

Any more progress with this Ztig....... Seems to have gone a bit quiet!

ztig · #48 PostAuthor: **ztig** » Tue Apr 14, 2009 6:48 pm

hi mate

well no progress at the moment, so near too

As well as getting myself a new job (longer hours). My mum is very ill in hospital and she lives a fair distance from me, so I have been doing a lot of traveling to see her.

The only things I need are new front discs and tyres

I need to polish the lip on the rear wheel and paint both wheels
I also need to fabricate a chain guard and sort the steering lock out

I would like to change to the GSXR handle bar switches too, but that can wait.

I hope to get something done at the week end I,ll keep you posted

Hi Ztig,

Didn't mean to hassle, spend your time with your Mum, the bike can wait a while.

Well After a year of redundancy, 3 jobs and Both my parents being very ill, the bike is on again.

I didn,t even have to put charge in the battery it started first press of the button.

That looks like a 'Right Hansome Beasty'.

See you're still running the injection, still have it fitted to mine.... works a treat.

Before I bought it I thought I might need a set of carbs but all seems to be working well

This is what it looks like now. I have just got to get some new front discs and fit the resisters to the indicators and it will be ready for the MOT.

Couple of little things also needed A small ball bearing for the passenger foot peg (the peg keeps falling down ) and a spring for the handle that keeps the seat on. Anyone got one ?

Next year I will be looking to get it a 'proper' spray job

PM me your address Ztig, I have deffo got the ball bearing, there is a little spring behind it, do you need that too? Should be able to dig you out a seat catch spring as well, but will need to check that one out.

Lovely bike!

Ztig, I have found a seat catch spring, it will be in the post first thing in the morning along with a ball bearing. Spring has a bit of surface rust, but I have found if you treat it with a bit of Kurust, you will get a nice blackish finish.
