[mikeyboy]

Hmmmmm,

They have been rebuilt prior to the bike coming to us but look a bit
Anyway,Beer o clock

Looking gorgeous Mickey it seems such a damn shame to take it on the road when its finished

I agree, they looked ok before, now they will look sh*te in comparison!

Nah, not doing all this to keep it under cover in the garage. This one’s going places...

 

[mikeyboy]

Made an executive decision and stripped the carbs.
Better to sort them now than have problems and delays when the bike is nearly finished and have to remove them again
As it turns out,a very good call.knackered float valves,damaged gaskets and a right good clean needed

Its like watching a surgeon at work

Yeah today has been rather busy, sorry, good decision though. It explains why they kept sticking and chucking fuel on the garage floor.

 

[Dr JM]

How do you get them that clean?!

 

[mikeyboy]

Unicorn spit

 

[mikeyboy]

Only joking,
We have an aquablast cabinet.
It basically recycles a slurry of glass bead and water with a big pump,then at the nozzle ,high pressure air is pipe’d in
So it’s like a big ,really high pressure bath tap.
Tis very good,and very expensive,,
In addition to the blast equipment you also need a really big compressor

 

[Dr JM]

What a fab bit of kit, a different kind of magic...

He does his teeth with it every morning!

Had a lovely day out yesterday to Melton Mowbray to pick the bike up. One very happy customer - the bike sounds and rides beautifully.

I was kept up to date with progress and pics at all times, costs came in as expected. What more do you want - friendly, welcoming, highly skilled & knowledgeable.

Thanks Lads!

Very nice.

Just make a note in the service book 'Next Engine overhaul year 2054'
