You sir are a cunning linguist !
What have you done on your bike today?
- Thread starter The GOAT
- Start date
I wanted to finish dismantling the crashed Multi but didn't have a pin spanner but I do have a handy son.
I thought some of you may be interested in the/a process of making one.
Put a piece of aluminium stock in the mill vice (using 'v' blocks to hold it upright,
Use a dial gauge to find the centre.
Using a pre programmed set of instructions get the mill to centre drill some holes
Then drill the holes to full depth
Using a milling cutter make a square pocket 1/2"
Like this
The put it in the three jaw chuck in the lathe and part it off
Check for size.
Add the dowel pins and use.
All very successful so I will now be able to change my headstock bearings in due course.

I think I could make that out of hardwood using my cordless dewalt drill and a chisel..
Alot less faffing about....

I don't doubt it, and I'm sure it would work (wood work) just as well.
Dam straight. Although I must admit you're son has done a fine job there!.I don't doubt it, and I'm sure it would work (wood work) just as well.
I bought a cheap on offa ebay and the pins sheared off.. the nut on the 749 was slightly seized, but still.....
It's been a long year, he gets like this...
I'm watching "Arrow" and it is unbelievably irritating on several levels.
And I will in future refer to the series as "The Dead Don't Die".
It is dragging NGL.
Fucking does.
Yes, but not budgies!
Today i rang my Dr's this morning as i had a missed call from a Dr and a voicmail on Tuesday to ring back today to talk about my medication. They where shut yesterday, my antidepressants have run out and i've been off them for two days and this is not good!! 
I spoke to a receptionist and was told i could not talk to a Dr but they will put an urgent on my notes for a Dr to call me back. Now i find this to be a fucking joke if you ask me, i told them i need them asap, a 5 minute call tops that a Dr would need of there precious time.
Anyway i have removed the injector and manifold off the Enfield along with the throttle and choke cables, the cables where a bit of a nightmare to get off the correct way so i got the angle grinder and a cutting disc and cut them off (i don't need them) i'll have another go at it tomorrow.
I had a good look at the kit and it comes with 3 different sized jets, it has an aftermarket pipe on it so i will fit the biggest sized jet in the carb and it has a an aftermarket air filter.

There is room there for another cylinder!
Keep up the photos please.

I'll have a go at getting the carb and filter on tomorrow, it's bloody freezing out and apparently even colder tonight and tomorrow!!
The rear tyre on the 996 had gone down, fearing a bloody puncture i took the dust cap off and there was air coming out so i took the valve out and it was fucked!! Good job i have some spares kicking about and glad it wasn't a puncture as it's a brand new tyre.
I've just taken the front wheel off the Multi (it's down to the legal limit) Now I can fit the newish tyre from the crashed `Multi and send the crashed wheel off for straightening.
Don't accidentally send the tyre off for straightening, Hugo.
You know how you get when you don't get enough sleep.
You got a good result with that Multi, always good to have spares kicking about!!
I've just rewired the alternator to rectifier wiring on my 748sps as it was starting to melt.
It all started when I stripped the bike down to fit an LED bulb in the dip beam
I bought the LED from LEDperf a French company specifically said it fitted the 916. I won't bore you with the details but 1) it isn't plug and play and2) once fitted as long as you don't want to turn left or right it's great. If you do you will smash the back off the bulb.
Need to get the bike back together and moved because I think it will fit the MV as that has stacked head lights

? How old is it? And get your anti-D medicine again pronto, you can’t just stop it, and make sure next time you have a new prescription at least a week before the last lot is due to run out. Otherwise, if you go off your meds you’ll go all Perry on us.
It's a 2012 model and they all come with a kickstarter.Feck me, does that thing have a kickstart

I put my prescription in ages ago for my antidepressants but Christmas got in the way and it's the antidepressants they want to talk to me about!!
I know i need them asap, i had a bit of a breakdown when i was last off them. I'm fine for about 5 days without them so i'm just going to phone them everyday until i get them!!
