thanks for the info on the clip-ons sprock, im going to spruce them up a bit,
and s.b as long as i have coffee and a *** in the shed im happy, my mrs is a gem and will even bring my food out for me,

 

Just be careful there Wheelnut, I seem to recall a thread by Wooferdog last year where his lovely Wife decked out his workbench with vases of flowers.....

It's a slippery slope from there.

Soon they'll be borrowing your tools

Cheers, SB

 

Lucky you - A hard to find Model called a "keeper"

 

I picture you in your shed with a very flamboyant assistant.

 

^ LOL imagine what he thinks of our version ! as in heading out for or dying for a butt !

Guess it'd work both ways .lol

 

i can well imagine your version :icon_cr ackup:

 

this weeks update is a bit late, it was my birthday this week and the lovley wife arranged a suprise party for me saturday night, ohmy word did i get hammered . sambuca,rum, beer was a laugh but im not as young as i was and i suffered a bit for it sunday.
But luckily ive got this week off work so ive been able to get out to the hurricane a few times. i really want to get the front end finished so thats what ive been up to.
I now have resprayed forks and wheel and put the steering head back together,
i will have to do 2 threads to get the pictures on.
Couple of tips allways warm the paint up if its chilly, and i bought a couple of the spray can heads (see pic) off ebay and have to say they are really usefull (see pic)

 

now that the forks are painted i have fitted new dust seals and refilled them with oil and set the air gap and re-aired them, so their back in the bike.
I have re-set the head bearings after painting the top and bottom yolks i turned my time to the brakes.
I have cleaned the callipers and pistons,put new pads and rubber boots on and will put new fluid in when i get the wheel back in.
Thats my next job along withe some new discs, then i can get the hurricane out the shed and turn it round to start on her rear

 

Happy (Belated) Birthday Wheelnut!

Man, your resto job is looking sweet - bloody well done! I can't wait to reclaim some shed space and kick off one some of my own work.

Cheers, SB

 

Yeah, inspiring stuff Paul. Did you use any specific paint?

And a Happy Birthday from me too!
