» Chrome plating? |
|
Nov 25, 2020 - 11:24 PM - by dt125x-supermoto
|
Anyone here doing chrome plating or is it something I'd have to send to the UK to get sorted properly?
Have some chrome pieces coming that are new but I've been warned the plating is thin so it has no warranty for corrosion. As they are made by a company in the middle east
Not sure of clear coating it will make it last any longer as I have no experience working with it but at literally 10% of the cost of a genuine piece £65 vs €730 i said i'd give it a go.

» Project bike with no book |
|
Nov 25, 2020 - 10:26 PM - by jic44
|
I am looking at buying a project bike from a known to me seller but it has no book and is not in his name (Given to him by an elderly now deceased relative).
Is there much hassle to getting a book for such a machine with no proof of ownership and what is the procedure?
I have the reg and frame and engine numbers.
There are loads of ads on donedeal etc with no book but can be easily got which I have never considered even looking at based on the thinking that if its easy got, wouldnt the seller just get it before advertising the bike.
I know this bike to be legit but not going to bother if its hassle to get a book.

» Honda 900f build |
|
Nov 25, 2020 - 2:04 PM - by Pumbaa the warthog
|
Here we go, it's going to be slow progress but I don't care, I got a 1980 cb900f frame with the intention of building something like the original but with some upgrades and tweaks, it's very early stages as the pictures show but I will post more as I go, ( for anyone that's interested ).
Some plans are beefier forks, ( not usd ), different wheels, bigger engine, standard tank, panels and tail, after that I'm undecided, but some of those ideas can change too, anyway here goes.

Anyone know of a good deal on something like a 3 litre, heated unit?
Have several single carbs that will need a seeing to at some stage. Also want to service the ZRX carbs when I pull them to sort cables and a Q.A. throttle.

Lads, has anyone recently taken they're test, apparently you have to bring your own earpiece , the rsa website shows an earpiece and it says it must have a 3.5 mono plug but the picture of it looks to me like a stereo plug, any one know who sells these ?

» VRT post brexit. |
|
Nov 21, 2020 - 4:00 AM - by 2shea
|
Looks like it's going to be a pain and more expensive to import a bike post Brexit 1st jan 2021.
Taken from the Revenue website:
VRT implications of importing cars from the UK
After the transition period, if you import a vehicle from the UK, this may be treated as an import from a non-European Union (EU) country.
Used vehicles
Vehicles brought into the State from the UK before 1 January 2021 can be registered as normal. Customers must provide documentation to prove that the vehicle was acquired prior to 1 January 2021.
For vehicles registered after 31 December 2020, Revenue may require proof that the importation process was tax and duty compliant.

» Deauville gague |
|
Nov 20, 2020 - 7:47 PM - by 2shea
|
The fuel gague on the Deauville seems to be acting up. Starts up ok reading correct then drops to empty after a few minutes riding.
Then returns to normal after being resting for a while. Bike has less then 10k miles on the clock.
Any Ideas?

» End of the 600 sportsbike? |
|
Nov 20, 2020 - 11:22 AM - by Dub Duke
|
Yamaha dropping R6, so what is the likely future of the 600 sportsbike if even Yamaha aren't making a road version anymore?
https://www.motorcyclenews.com/advic...the-yamaha-r6/
Obviously responding to the market, but still sad. 1000 sportsbikes in Ireland are a little excess IMHO (What?! Too much power is never enough). Think it might be an idea to get a run out R6 if I had the cash!

» Triumph Explorer 1200 |
|
Nov 13, 2020 - 4:14 AM - by 2shea
|
Looking for a new machine, was originally after a Tenere 1200 or Honda VFR crosstoure.
A few people have mentioned the Triumph Explorer to me as a alternative.
I had a test ride on one a few years back and thought it was a awesome engine/bike.
But being an English motor I'm worried it might sh$t itself at some point. I have read that some of the early versions had an issue with complete engine failure.
Just looking for opinions and advise from any current or past owners.
Thanks

» Handle Bar Risers? |

Nov 09, 2020 - 9:17 AM - by strontium_dog

For some reason or another the riding position on my ZZR14 causes me to get pins an needles in my hands when riding at low speeds. It's a bit strange as it's not really too extreme, anyway I was thinking of getting some handlebar risers. I haven't tried them before and was wondering if they're a good job or if there are any gotchas, also any recommendations?
