Today I acquired...........

What a ridiculous question Whisky preference is such a personal thing I'd hesitate to recommend it - it's a bit peaty [which I like], but not as 'strong' in the peat/smoke department as some I prefer.

I'm not a big drinker but I do like a nice single malt when I'm having a dram.

So a toast , to ridding the world of the curse of whiskey; glass by glass.

Essanco border fork, $5.

To those in the know, Essanco was a brand of CT Skelton. A nice find. I had to re-bend the tunes to shape and it will need a new handle but I can fashion something up.

whiskey is a personal taste

True. So is whisky.

a automatic key cutting machine (why not ) , saw it on gumtree and couldn't resist, haggled and got it for 60 quid ,seems to work fine but needs adjusters etc unseized and a bit tlc , seems like a fun restoration project ,will probably earn its keep as kids are always losing theirs plus I can make spares for loads of locks I've gotView attachment 160914 View attachment 160915 View attachment 160916

A Delkovic exhaust system for a GS850
Or most of it...
Delko downpipes, £170

But, they wanted another £135 quid for a muffler, so I went the way I've gone previously and got this to go on it...

A Harley-used take-off from a Fat Bloke or something.
For a mere £25 and the trivial cost of making a short link pipe.
It will respond to my diy decibel killer if it has to.

What's the fit like on those pipes?

I don't know yet, the head and barrels are off the bike and it will be the new year when I get it back together.
Nobody has reported any problems with them and they allow centre stand and oil filter clearance.

 

[Ruffian]

Fitted some delcavic pipes on a gs500e, fairings on a car 600rr and headers on a zx6r.

All have fitted well with only minor adjustments needed on the fairings.

Broke my rules today and acquired a load of Willow for firewood.

Usually don't bother with it but it was 10 minutes away, free, and an easy load up.

Every tree burns after all.

It's got a manual box, haven't driven it far but box seems ok, gear lever is a bit sloppy tho

A Clarke Strongarm bender and a WNS Corner Notcher.

Couldn’t resist, it’s not only little birdies that go cheap cheap

The engine is the only decent thing in those Rextons even though it's dog slow. They have got to be one of the worst things I've driven & they're pig ugly too. The only thing they have going for them is the load space - as good as a transit with the seats taken out.

For $27 precision you need four. Measure using each one in turn,add four answers together before dividing by four to get the average......
