    it was a little wet:tired_face:

    Black Widow Exhausts, very pleased with the quality and the price, they even sent a tube of firegum with it which I didn't even need :)

    I know the feeling mate, since I got my SM back in March ( lockdown 1) I have managed about 3500 miles..usually I do about 5 or 6 a year depending on the Winter weather. Tiger looks a great bike, Im a bit of a short arse so Speedmaster is ideal for me! Hope your well and the reason your not out and about is the same reason we are all missing miles, stay safe.

    Unfortunately I’m waiting for an operation on my neck :confused:
    I also need to be examined for my shoulders but everything has been cancelled because of this Covid shit show:sob:
    Jack Daniels helps :p

    You don't know @dilligaf do you ?
    Phrases like not trying to teach your grandmother to suck eggs come to mind.
    Quadruples would be a mere snifter.

    Well , CAPT had new plugs and an oil change.
    No change he still knocks ! Put white rag over right hand muffler exhaust port , went light brown oily in just a few seconds.
    Conclusion engine will have to be pulled out and at least partially striped and reconditioned.
    Think rings have gone !!

    Cheers Guys, it was looking a bit much earlier and I was using a LOT of wire. Hopefully better with some paint on it, I'm thinking about putting it on a T120R engined chop. The US flagged king sportster tank might be ok on it. If not it'll be nailed to the wall.

    Yeah, I was thinking about just applying a lacquer but, too late, I've started so I'll finish. Primers and some brush work so far, loads more hand brush to do before I get the ol' airbrush compressor running - we'll see.

    Well not actually ridden or done anything too capt yet. But been on gumtree and found a Donar motor . Sent messages etc , see how it goes.
    $750 plus about 300-350 to freight. Beats the $1600-1800 from bike wreckers ! So Here's hoping I can get this motor only 17000km old , only need the bottom end , I hope I'll only need rings for the pistons , as I've not pulled it down yet , I have yet to discover if the barrels , rings or pistons are the problem.
    Only been internet browsing/shopping for a few days and hopefully I have got a deal !!
