The nipple ends of these blighters often snap off. There might be a source of replacement spigot / nipple mouldings ... missus. Anyone able to supply similarly precise dimensions of a detached 'Long One' (Steady now, Alias) ? Thank You !

Stripping down my xl650 to remove the engine,got all the top bits off and decided to have a go at the exhaust.Laying down to check where it was bolted on i notice the frame looked a bit dodgy,using a lever found the frame was completely rusted through and detached.So people get out and check...

I'm desperate. I detached all the screws, wires, pipes from the airbox and after spent more than a hour I'm still unable to remove the airbox :( We (my friend and me) tried on every possible way, no luck, I start thinking the frame was welded with that bloody box inside. Please give me an...

Used once and hardly showing any effects of it, im not in the need of these anymore so can let them go to a better home. Almost As New, boxed with labels detached. Camo Colour Size 44.5/9 Threaded Sole These are the old popular style Alpinestar boots you cant get anymore I believe. Very few...

Well, some of you on here may know that I've been struggling a bit with the demands the DSA has been making on my riding skills :rolleyes:. And I mentioned recently also to some that I hardly qualify as an 'Adventure Bike' Rider - and yet most of my rides seem to turn out into an (unplanned)...

hi all, Right in the process of fitting new seals and pistons [2] , got old ones out and all cleaned up and new seals fitted and lubricated with clean brake fluid:o. Now when trying and thats what it is "trying":mad: offered up new and old pistons and push into caliper by using thumbs...

The Diode in the fusebox on my RD04 has become detached and there appears to be no way to replace or reconnect it. The fusebox is a sealed unit and ( I assume) comes with the Diode. I guess this little blighter is essential for ignition as whilst the bike will turn over, (only with the clutch...

So, the clocks have gone back and the evenings are getting darker. Que time for figuring out how I'm going to light the garage so I can at least get the bike in and out without loosing my gloves. I've been using a big rechargeable spot light, reflecting it off the low ceiling, as it and the...

NOT the bike chaps........ I've got the cab in bits outside......one headlamp flickering etc.. I've found the fault....Livingstone's emission monkies...:rolleyes: Loom worn through in an unreachable place has gone through the earth wire to the headlamp.... QUESTION; Are all those black...

Speedo died on my way to work this morning, actually saw it go! Whats the chances of that?! I`ve done some searches and read about the weak link of the plastic gear but when I detached the cable and checked the little gearbox it seems to be fine. The little output shaft rotates about 90deg but...

I am expecting London Bubble to jump headfirst into this post. My Mother has just telephoned me with some interesting news. I was divorced in 2003. The Judge ordered that my ex wife could keep the house a 5 Bedroom detached house with no mortgage valued at £320,000 then, she could keep our...

I haven't bought panniers yet, but I do lots of off-road weekend trips and camp, but also plan to do some longer Africa trips in the near future. Here is my two penneth worth on the pannier discussion, as it seems everyone wants hard panniers these days due to the interest stirred up by the...

What a great site, just got myself an @ and found you guys the other day. What a great bike the @ is and why have I only just got one? I should have had one years ago. The first thing I noticed when flicking through the site is all the talk about the seat, I come from a dirt bike background so...
