OMG Eagle you couldnt wait till my body was cold in the creek :ohmy:

I have just left the physio and have had my shoulder taped for day to day living as its not recovered enough for me to ride this weekend it needs at least another 5 to 7 days. It has now reached the point where I will have to have it taped for any rides I do before the operation

Boony, Bollocks and Beagle I am sorry to miss this ride as I was really looking forward to it and can see what hard work you guys have put into the ride. I was looking forward just enjoying the ride even though I always do enjoy them and am pretty bummed about it all at the minute

TB

TB Watch out for the skin irritations from full time strapping, been there, done that not fun.
Good luck mate

Mate you will find those holes in the frame at the bottom are not for a center stand but the factory skid pan attachment points.

As far as screws go the QR are the go, screws stuff up eventually, you also may find the price is for the whole assembly so if you still have the female slot part in your airbox then you only need the pins, and you can get them separately.

This talk of Rivets screws and velcro are sounds of a Yamaha or Honda rider, snap out of it man, you ride the best now.

Sorry for the late reply I went to the HVMCC Club meeting tonight
The easiest way I have found is the soap and metho method, the metho helps the water evaporate out later
Get a 500 ml spray bottle and put about 100 mls of methylated spirits and 400 mls of water, lastly you want to put a squirt or two of hand soap into the mix, don’t go over board with the soap, shake it up and squirt some on your hands and if it is slightly slimy your there, if it is all suds and white , too much soap, if it does not feel slimy at all too much spirits or not enough soap.
Put down an old towel because it is a wet process at the beginning, thoroughly clean the plastics and do worry about drying, get the plastics and spray all over them where the sticker is going, get the graphics and peel off backing and wet them down as well, you can now put the decal on and slide it gently around getting the position correct, when happy get a hair drier and heat the outer surface, don’t stress about the excess water underneath yet, when the decal is warm and pliable start from the center and squeeze out , water will come out from the edges and the edges wont stick straight away, keep alternating from squeezing from the center to heating with hair drier, the idea is to take your time and work from the center, the good thing about this is if yo get 80% of the way through and its not right you can peel it straight off and wet up and start again, the better graphics will be easiest to peel off repeatedly where as the cheaper ones are not as forgiving so the cheaper ones need lots of patience, I will usually take 3-4 hours to do 1 full bike Lastly do not stress the plastic out by installing straight away, cure the decal in the sun, I find a day or two in the sun is fine, I have also stood it in front of a gas heater and rushed it a bit, but be careful of too much direct heat as damage may occur.

So there you have it
Decals 101 the easy way
Enjoy

If anyone wants to know what are some of the best brand graphics I have used , PM me

[DavidMember]

Yeah I didnt know about the slime stuff till you told me Ollie so I think the tube inside a tube may be out the window

I bet I still get a flat

I rode that same bike on the weekend:woohoo: and I can tell you now I was really impressed with the way it handled,maybe they have changed the internal components to the old PDS. The power of that thing is awsome its an absolute rocketship,thanks for the blast Bill

OllieB)

I laugh to myself all the time when I hear about PDS problem. Have you actually thought that maybe the clickers are not set right, I have sorted several Katos suspensions now and have never had any that cant be sorted, as a matter of a fact it always seems to be the unadjusted ones that cant believe all it was, was their clickers, they are all prepared to bag the design when they havent tried, Get over it Blue and just admit that you didn’t persevere with suspension settings enough, or if you did the person helping maybe did not have their head around it…it is all real easy as well when you understand it

[DavidMember]

I have actually used for a few years now another tube cut across ways( as in lay it down flat and cut the outer half off so it just leaves the inner half complete with valve) it forms a heavy duty rim tape, you then ripp out the old valve and then have a hell of a time fitting it, but pinched tubes are a thing of the past then.:laugh: :laugh:

Kram, THe Hastings Valley MCC have one on November 8. There could be one in October as well because they had to cancel the one in june because of the wet weather.

Could be very interested in the October one Mr Mick D, where would one find more info, as the Border boyz are thinking of forming several pairs of riders to do a few
Me and the next slowest unfittest old Bloke, The two Young Guns and then the other two younger guns, three teams of two, and two adept juniors (what age down to do Hastings allow to run on the loops?) and I can bludge on my Co-rider like last time :dry: .
Was running third overall, 1st in class then some idiot ran out of fuel in a creek 10 ks out on a twenty K loop :blush:

Pony express and poker runs are FUN! the competition you go into when you’re no longer into Competition.

Bruce Cee

Bruce we go right down to 65 cc 7-u10 for Pony express and Sprint events, the youngest groups get 1.5 hours for their Pony and around a 5-6 min per lap for sprints, come on up with your little-uns and they will have a blast I can assure you:)
