Crashed my bike :(

    Brake lever
    Right mirror (bit at the bottom, and the arm)
    Left mirror (not injured during crash, but I killed it before)
    Right indicator
    Headlight rim (light needs realigning too)
    Clocks

    Current clocks are gaffertaped & freezer bagged together at the mo -
    rev counter busted but speedo works so it's legal. The only things
    that look like a legal problem are the lack of a right indicator and
    the headlamp aim.

    The clocks, rim and OE indicator are best sourced from a breakers: look
    in the back of MCN - yes, this paper's boring mindless mean, full of the
    best selection of dealer/trader adverts.

    I DIDN'T KNOW THEY DID THEM IN BLACK!!

    The mirrors look fine as they have the bit on them that I've got
    broken (at the bottom) - but I'm not sure about the front brake
    lever... the one that I has appear to be adjustable. Would these fit,
    do you think?

    ....Do you think the flush indicators are a bad idea - should I go with
    the ones you originally suggested? I mean, are the flush ones likely
    to fit?

    I haven't placed the order yet.

    They're for faired bikes.

    You want the the type I listed before. What size (diameter) is the
    threaded part that secures the indicator stem to your bike? The
    universal ones I listed were 10mm, just need to make sure the universal
    ones are the same or less.

    These are the ones you want - in black of course.

    As are these, colour choice is yours.

    I'll have a look later on. The whole indicator hasn't been broken
    off, just the bit with the light on, so all I see are two wires.
    Perhaps the Haynes manual will say - I'll have a hunt for one while
    I'm out today.
    Clutch silver, brake black :)

    The Dnepr has a flushing system. It's activated by hitting armco.

    Basically, Dneprs are better, and you can use cheapo multigrade in the
    engines.

    Yup. Some of the military production was moved from Irbit, east of the Ural
    Mountains, to Kiev on the Dnepr River. There are some engineering
    differences: Urals have a pressed-up crank with roller-bearing big ends,
    which really should be run on monograde, while the later Dneprs have a solid
    crank with shell bearings and a bolted-up big end. This change dates from
    about the same time as it happened in BMWs...

    Judging by the street furniture, I think he must've hit the armco at
    88mph & been catapulted back to the 1940s.

    petrolcan emerged from their own little world to say
    he seems to be wearing a First Great Western safety jacket. Has he swapped
    jobs?

  20. It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
    drugs began to take hold. I remember petrolcan
    Classic stuff. I'm glad you were there to record it for posterity.
