Finally......

Unread post by MikeB »

Nut and bolt rebuild over the closed season, new leading links, modified headstock, a tweak here a tweak there....... endless spannering. Sterling efforts by John (when he is not working on other peoples machines :roll: ) and Karl.

9 hours to bleed the brakes , AP - calipers what a load of kack......

And a nice shiney new coat of paint. Any negative comments about the green then - get stuffed ;) .

Note to Eddy - look no moss in between the blocking paving :D

Only 9 hours ? - I spent about 3 weeks on ours until I designed - and constructed the "Patent AP Brake Bleeding Jig" - bled the bu**ers in about 5 mins then... :D
2 strokes are the future...

Off topic ;) , try & get hold of a 240v Vac pump, you just suck the fluid through in minutes.

Mike remind me how to show you the way to bleed brakes in minutes, and I dont use a vacuum pump. Your bike looks good though, but will it stop ??
