Bugger, not hurt to bad I hope

Have seen this style of thing used in bike shops when doing quick front wheel removal for tyre changes, not this one pictured, but a cheap engine lifter.

Then a bar through the frame onto prop stands maybe?

Cheers

Hey Andrew, Should have come back an hour later, when the coffee had been spilled everywhere and over everything by then not so clean then :lol: They are some great pictures you've posted. As for front end, I use to do the dodgy car jack and lump of timber under the front head if the full Sport fair...

Hey Andrew was great to catch up, good day all over I thought. Ended up helping out with these 3 bikes much more than I expected for most of the day, strange even bought my own ticket this year so I could watch the racing instead of doing pit work, but Muz had me under the FZR within 10 mins of arri...

That's ok owning the RSV but can you ride it "old fella" :lol: If your like me you wouldn't be able to straighten up for a week :,( But that's why the Sport went, now I'm very sad again, DKD is having fun with it though when he can pry the keys back from his son, it's even better having s...

Hi James, I could only wish that was mine, it was a mate of Andrew's race bike back in the 80's who was a mate of my mate. All sounds very confusing, and a small world as well, absolutely beautiful bike in the flesh, Andrew's mate Morrie was a seriously fast racer and that F1 was magic to watch bein...

Kraft Cheese's don't I feel special... My mate Muz is now running the FZR1000 in Period 6, will let you know which pit garage when I find out, we can meet up there, also may be bringing Phil along if his dickie ticker will let him get out for a few hours without keeling over, you 2 can swap Morrie s...

Very nice indeed, and of course more pictures please...

Cheers

you seem to know more about my bike than I? You inspected it at Old Gold? D, had a dang good look over it, sit on it, and started it.... also consider the owner of Old Gold a friend even though I'm a customer of their's, if I'd been in the right financial position at the time you wouldn't own it, I...

Given the age of the bike and the fact it was in storage for a number of years, wouldn't hurt to split the calipers and pop the pistons out and give everything a good clean as well. Seal kits aren't horribly expensive for the 08's either. Mine was a similar story as far as in storage for a number of...

Dear, o dear, o dear, half your luck

D, it's fairly easy, just keep on wriggling the caliper from side to side pushing the pads/pistons in and then wriggle them off, you don't have to be that gentle with them, 1st time you do it can take awhile with the lack of space, but once you get them off it will be oh, I see now, it is a pain in ...

Arch, I like your style and thinking, and am jealous to boot, one day...

And the name is Peter, cheers

Hey Steve, how come all the paso's and 907's ended up in PA? It seems as if everything I get is from there. Arch, I've gotta ask, and I know it's rude, don't answer if don't want to, but...how many Paso's do you have now? :shock: Hamish, I always though they were a beautifully styled and shaped bik...

I'll most likely be totally wrong about this in the end, as everybody is suggesting and do appreciate the comments, and should also clarify that by investment and return I mean outlay back with hopefully a small margin in a year or 2. It will all come down to buying at the "right price" an...

I hear you Higgy, Would of, should of, could of, always springs to mind. I'm just in a very rare and very fortunate situation at the moment, but will only get this one shot at it. Mate had a 750 GT up until the early '80's, did a bigend once to often, he got finally the shit's with it being in piece...
