    Full aluminium exhaust! Well I never knew that.
    How thick do you think the header is @Th3_Huntsman ?
    So with a 2mm wall it would weigh the same as a 0.66 steel wall. It can't be that simple or everyone would be doing it.

    @Grasshopper is here and we pulled the battery from the trumpy, it's a motobatt and was reading 3.6v! Now on the charge. Rear seat lock is jammed, had to pull that to bits.

    As soon as the battery is ready it'll be loaded onto the trailer

    Those are not heat marks they are actually grooves and raises...

    got the broken ignition switch housing off the hornet. took the bars then top member off and put the top member in the vice and used a thin metal cutting blade in the angle grinder. put a straight cut through the security screws and undid the security screws.

    So the fork seal i replaced a month or so back has gone again, what the hell, i avoid pot holes, go gently into driveways and defiantly don't have enough grunt for wheelies. there wasn't any noticeable marks on the fork either when i have it off

    Sometimes the seal wont 'seal' if the fork surface is too shiney (this used to be a real problem with older BMW's). I usually give the legs a light rub with 800 or 1000 wet n dry in a 'round the leg' fashion to put a kind of crosshatch on the surface similar to what you do with the bore of an engine. This will give the seal something to 'bite' into and hopefully seal.

    think I found my rub through

    20141026_183151.jpg

    350mls as it states in the specs sheet

    It did seal for about just over a month. Currently removing to check the fork more thoroughly for any gaugings/ scoring etc. Going to my local bearing place to get a new seal and also those 4 orings i need for my carbie tomorrow.
