[peepingtom]

ive just started a little project in my newly built workshop, i had to have the best so ive even got a real carpet door

Definatly will be a colour change the rest i have no major plans

 

[jackassdave]

[(RIP) Kaister]

[Rob Farmer]

Mate, it's suprising what a lick of paint will do...................









Nuthin' in this case

[peepingtom]

this is where im up to now. all ive done is stripped it down and engine out. theres a small list of stuff i will deffo be doing apart from cleaning and painting everything;
cut and weld sub frame so its better for mounting a top box(but theyre so handy)
brace the pannier frames
replace exhaust with something better
junk the fairing and have double Baja style headlamps??
new valves+guides ,timing chain ect
rebuild starter motor

im on a budget so wont be setting up an account at HPN

no yours is the frayed one in the bin


Rob just to let you know i have started taking orders for my custom made workshops (sheds). and the web site will soon be live www.shantysheds.com:P

how worn can the teeth be on the flywheel (cant load the pics at mo)

 

[Sylvester]

I hope you have planning permission for the shed!

NOW THATS A SHED.

You need to get them shrubs cut back though.

Is that the latest "high security" carpet door and do you use Fabreeze on it

 

[Elvisto]

Hey! Like your style peepingtom

Luv the roller shutter door

Sorry pastyman but theyre not shrubs, that my friend is a herb garden
the high security carpet door is the lastest and before you ask yes it did cost a fortune. still my moto is "if youve got it flaunt it"
i had to stop using fabreeze as it was affecting the the taste of my lasagna (being so close to me erbs ) plus it was also preventing them having organic status
hopefully youll be able to see the teeth on my flywheel, theyre a bit worn maybe too worn what ya reckon?
Very pleased with the little 1/4 inch drive socket set from halfords £15 in the sale and its great esp using it for allen bolts
had a tidy up tonight as i tend to just want to keep taking the bike apart and not lable or bag anything (im too impatient). now its much better tools in their places and starting to make a pile of stuff for powder coating Going for white frame with some sparkly bits in it to make it worth cleaning
some bolts were VERY tight(airbox mounts) and only had 1 that wouldnt budge which was holding the front mudguard on.View attachment 146338

Peepingtom,

Just give the bastard the strap or you'll never hear the end of it

 

[peepingtom]

tidy sheds are happy sheds
dave it was your strap you left here but a burglar came last night and somehow managed to get through the carpet door, he also took your bungies

 

[Dusan]

Kin hell P/T

Kin hellava shed that is, I was gonna place my order with driftwood sheds, but deffo want one of yours, if it comes with the optional febrezze lasagne recipe! Can't see the tenere, what ever happened to her? All d best Dus

 

[Lord Snooty]

I'm loving this thread

The shed is great! Shame about the burglarised ratchet strap and bungies, I hope you got a police incident number for the insurance claim

Thanks Rob. I actually laughed out loud when I read that!

I was being very careful to bag and label everything and still ended up playing the game of "Where the fuck did that come from?" last weekend

Can't see the tenere, what ever happened to her? All d best Dus

Her story continues here...

Currently the wiring is being redone then once it's finished and tested out on the bike out come the carbs for a spring clean

 

[jackassdave]

im not sure i believe your explanation , because with all the security measures you have on your shed , HOW DID THEY GET IN ,
i understand the security carpet door was closed, so i cant figure it out , unless you left a window slightly ajar!!!!!!!!!!!!!
