"Things are never simple, ordered 2 new tyres on Saturday, which will be fitted this coming Friday, anyways, took my wheels off yesterday for pending new tyres, well as it happens I’ve also ordered new chain n sprockets an discovered that the Cush drive rubbers were perished so I’ve ordered those as well, let’s just say I’m not telling the missus what I’ve spent. " Its easy done. I need to replace my swingarm gator and now it's evolved into propshaft bearings, crown and pinion bearings and rear seal. | |||

"Lol, a blown forestall lead to a full blown bike restoration " You know you would have been right with forestall lol forestall /f??'st??l/ Learn to pronounce verb prevent or obstruct (an anticipated event or action) by taking advance action. "they will present their resignations to forestall a vote of no confidence" Similar: pre-empt get in before get ahead of steal a march on anticipate second-guess nip in the bud thwart frustrate foil stave off ward off fend off avert preclude obviate prevent intercept check block hinder impede obstruct beat someone to it beat someone to the draw/punch act in advance of (someone) in order to prevent them from doing something.

"Police were out in force today. Even the panda cars were strategically placing themselves with radar guns at the villages. Also noticed Lincs Constabulary have a new unmarked black Honda estate And if the guy with the R1 cutting about Skegvegas main drag in nothing but a helmet, vest, jeans and trainers, yes the 30 or 40 of us that were parked up all think you are a prize wanker. " We did Willi Woods, mablethorpe & Skegvegas, then back to Coningsby. The unmarked Honda came past us on blues n twos, let’s just say the driver wasn’t the best when trying to get through the traffic, nearly took out front rider out. The police bikes were being a bit sneaky n hiding too. Gotta love the hard as nails dicks that ride with no protection. | |||

"Is it just me that rides around Lincolnshire wondering if the guy or girl (or couple) that have just nodded to me are here on Fab? Two things usually on my mind, bike’s and fab " I’d guess that they’re nodding cos your on 2 wheels, unless your displaying a “FAB Member” t-shirt, lol. I get what ya mean tho, I can stand at Willy Woods on a Sunday morning when it’s packed, trying to pick out the swinger looking types, they all look like swingers, lol. | |||

"I'm going to have a sticker made. Something in theme with motorcycles yet only swingers will get. Maybe we could put cable ties on the left front fork leg. Like them ankle bracelet things we get the women to wear" On race bikes and sometimes on road bikes I use a cable tie on a fork tube to indicate and check suspension travel. Oh well, good practice when designing to make everything carry out more than one function to save parts and weight. | |||

Oh well, good practice when designing to make everything carry out more than one function to save parts and weight." I did that once, brought the front end up and came down hard. The cable tie got stuck under the dust seal at an angle and ruined the nitride finish on the stantion. A bit of water based red grease does the same, and it can be wiped off without damaging the seal. Knockhill used to be good for doing set up days, especially mid week. Cadwell you have to pre book on specific days which can be a pain. | |||

Needed front raising, (pushing forks down through clamps), or more preload or a stiffer spring." They were a set of USD forks from a 600 gixer. The preload was wound right off hence the stantion used its full travel into the fork leg when the front end came down. The dust seals were on the soft side hence it let the cable tie push past the seal. Because the forks had the black nitride costing the scratch was really visible. It cost me £400 to have the forks re-coated and rebuilt with better springs and valves but was worth the money. | |||

"Ive just had my rear shock rebuilt. £170, sounds like I got of lighyly " Shocks aren't that difficult to do yourself however you need the specific tools and compression clamp to do it correctly for the rear shocks anyway. The more modern shocks use air or nitrogen accumulation. These need vacuumed and bled before being gassed. Linked forks are the worst. Spring and piston on one leg and damping and gas chamber in the other. A set of standard sprung forks with oil dampening can be done with a bench and a decent vise with soft jaws. Suspension is a bit of a black art, especially the set up if your doing it yourself. The difference it can make is actually quite amazing. | |||

"I got my shock done by a pro as its full of gas and oil and magic, or in my case, the seals had blown and the oil and gas long since gone. Thankfully both my other bikes have got non adjustable front suspension, so they're easy enough. Mind you when I did the fork seals on my rocket 3 I wasn't saying how easy it was at the time " Lol the Rocket forks must be about 3 inch in diameter are they not. | |||
