Yeah I use my phone, I think I may need to close maybe shutdown this membership and try start again, all turned to crap when I did NBN switch with my mobile phone network, pretty annoying, this is a great forum

Just waiting for gauges to return from speedline instruments in perth for 2nd time as I had to replace the reset shaft on speedo and also refit new satin black powder coat bezels, chrome just wasn't right, oil cooler/ lines/ headlight/ wiring can then be connected and I'm off to protwins for Justin to work his magic. Soon as she's out the door I will start the painting process and when she returns I will be leaving her in my lounge till the painting is done, good times, on target to finish for xmas, been a long time coming but getting there, Rob.

Well this is good, I've just closed my Facebook account and for the first time I can post pics again, not sure if coincidence or what but certainly happy days

Just about to tighten the clutch control/ spring retainer and second guessing whether you tighten down to the posts, ie far as you can go, or you measure and set somewhere in between, learning ,, thanks for your interest cheers

Just finished the clutch cover replacement, this original cover came up well paintwise, pretty happy with the way it all went, definitely learn more when you have to repeat processes, haha its happened a few time with me on this bike
