Replaced the bearings in the 2.2kw electric motor for my new 2nd hand compressor. Ran it up and the motor is now whisper quiet but the V-twin compressor has a little noise from the main bearing. It’s not worth pulling it apart. I will see how it goes but I can buy a new twin cylinder 12 cfm compressor for around $110 so it would still be a cheap compressor.

As @ShaneP eluded to,’I picked up the twin to his zxr , the seller said the engine was low on compression on one pot, while I only had a few mins to play,’ it fired up very easily after being stored for a year
So, my brakes have been making a bit of a grinding noise, like a rock scraping the mudguard, so I decided to investigate. Think I found the problem: But that's OK, I'll just use the pads from the other side, because they're frozen solid (I really squeezed the the lever and still nothing). And it explains why I couldn't one-finger brake, and had squeeze hard...
here is something you wont see everyday, a 1962 Cotton Telstar 250cc 2 banger owned by one of my customers What a cool bit of kit.
Didn't work on my bike today, but went over to Motor Reg and updated my license, no more R Date for me
went into frasers honda today to order some parts- no orders taken for next month as honda aus warehouse closed for reno and new computer system- ordered from england at a higher price.
Well, I did something I have never done before , I paid more than asking price for 2 bikes. I had a customer come in and offer me some bikes as he is leaving Brisbane and needed them picked up. he proposed a price then showed me some pics , so I offered a slightly higher price to secure it Here is one on them , a barn find fresh 1985 gsxr400 Last pic is after Phil gave it a quick clean
