Nickyb's blogger...

Thanks for dropping by, this blogger is about my up's and down's, tear's and laughter that my interests can bring as I go about them in my own fashion..

This Blogger started through my fishing, and I enjoyed many a happy day enjoying everything that comes along with that, but times change, job changes, and wanting to do different things was to see the fishing gear making way for Motorcycles, and that is how you find me...
Hope you enjoy the Blog.

Nick.


All the best

Its Cold outside....

That is very true, But the workshop is full of Buell in bits...!
Nothing serious, but looks like it is, I had the stock exhaust modified, as I wanted the standard look back, so off it went to Tubbs Speed and Innovation, for him to do his work, and I set about removing the other one.
No drama removing it, found all the bits for refitting the stock one, and awaited the return of the pipe.

Fast as fast can be, the pipe was back, and I fitted it up for a test firing, sounded awful, not the exhaust box, but the rear header blowing, so, in I went...

Seats, Airbox, Baseplate, Battery, rear plastics, Subframe, Shock, Fan, and in... 
Luckily all studs look good, although missing a nut which has been allowing the rear to blow, but other than some cleaning up, all good.

So a few parts, some fresh black VHT paint for the box and the header, some cleaning and plenty of copperslip on assembly should see the beast back in one piece ready for the MOT!!!!


So thats it at the moment, but that is bloody cold out there, so no working late, as the tea doesn't get topped up enough once the darkness sets in, I think some brewing equipment is on the cards...

Thumbs up to all those winter bikers out there, Ride safe!
