The haynes manual I looked at was all wrong. You could have got it for free from this board. Are you sure you can read British

 

In what way was it wrong mate ?? I realise I could have got it off here but a lot of the pics arent clear enough. I was happy to buy one. Did you get the right one for your bike ?? If this one doesnt work out for me it will be going back for sure.

 

Too right and the bloomin' Paddy ain't saying **** about it either ...LOL


That was amusing though .

 

Well today I went with a nice K&N filter upgrade or so I thought

.........

That was until I pulled an old K&N out of it .....way to go Sprock

But actually the old one is pretty damned cruddied up on the inside
so guess I have a backup

 

^^ That's funny. I just installed an emgo last week. I thought about the K&N.... but the emgo was like $12....lol.

Today I installed a new PR2 front tire. Not bad. It took me like 45mins start to finish with 2 smoke breaks and a coffee break... LOL.
I've found the key is putting the tire inside a hot jeep for a couple hours before installing it.

 

You tighta$$ Trout.....lol. K&N mate is the only way to go. I've never heard of Emgo. Might check those out and see what they are all about. Cheers.

 

I don't know.... I'm not sold on the K&N thing yet. Emgo is just a stock replacement. They're like $12 at bike bandit. ($17 shipped if you aren't buying it with other stuff).

 

Saturday: Finished assembling front forks, replaced front brake pads, reinstalled wheel with new tire and rotors. Still waiting on K&N filter and plugs from CycleGear. Somehow the post office can't find the correct address and tried to deliver somewhere else. I can't ride anyway because I found out the rear wheel is bent while trying to balance the new rear tire.

 

put some decals on yesterday to make sure people knew what the bike was. still need to take apart the gas tank, rebuild the petcock (i think this is my fueling problem right now since the carbs are clean as can be and the motor is cherry), and wait for the chain to be delivered. once that arrives it should be together and on the street.
