"This is a cylinder block for Kawasaki Z 1300 A1.

It has slight damage to the bottom of one liner as pictured but this
probably will not affect it running as it is not near the working
surface."

Yes... Hmm... That would be the fucking great lump smashed out of the
liner then, would it?

None of my useless old shit is in any way disposable. You *know* that.

It's only a tenner, ffs.

In contrast, the drive shaft/bevel box they sent me is almost "mint".

£24 plus postage. Luvvly.

btw, the Wing gained a bit more bling today.

Yes. but I can get a doorstop for less than that.

Spill. Frankly, after the "Rings Of Fire" I think I'm fighting a losing
battle, but it's always good to know what the opposition is up to.

Chrome side cover for the fairing position lights.

Goes well with the chrome rad vents/scoops.

Ah. The RoF have yet to burn. They're on, but no amount of power will
get the to light.

Here's my botched/bodged battery, as an aside.

Seems to work okay. <crosses fingers>

<hopeful>

Any idea what to do about my non-round rear tyre?

Apart from lobbing it in the bin?

</h>

I'll get me ruler out, and take some measurements. I can do basic
bending and cutting [1] - trouble is, I was a bit light on the raw
materials front.

This is only a "prototype". Honest.

Heh.


[1] I've got a vice *and* a Dremel.

Righty ho. Or drop in on a pre/post-RBR trip, either works.

Just the one, Mrs Wembley?

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Salad Dodger

Reading of your loose terminal, did you use split or shakeproof washers?

 

No. The problem was the "fixing" of the "captive" nut in the terminal
housing itself. The bolt was still tightly attached to the nut.

Wahey!

My Harley is no longer the gayest motorcycle in the newsgroup!

 

It's classed as a 'new' item too.

 

<cough> Are you aware of Meteor Motorcycles, who have recently opened a
Harley bits shop at the bottom of Birdlip Hill?

 

I have, but have not visited. Recommended?

 

I wasn't sure where BH was so did a quick Google, seems like a nice
place to meet new people.

 

You need running over while playing with a wide aperture as well?

 

Well, they were good enough to pay me silly money for that old Watsonian
chassis I had cluttering up the shed. The plan, avowedly, is to tidy it up
and hang it on a Hardley. The actual sidecar will be a spaceship off a
fairground ride, to be painted in super-naff red, green etc metalflake.

They're worse than me. I'd recommend smiling a lot and carrying a tazer...
