» Registering a bike with no book or reg |
|
May 11, 2021 - 8:15 PM - by jic44
|
I am looking at buying a bike with no book or reg. Its an in boxes project vespa.
A few months ago I got a taxbook for a bike with I bought with no book but I had a reg so it was a case of going to a commissioner of oaths and filling out a form for the tax office and have a bike shop confirm the frame number.
But this bike has no reg. Its a 80's bike. Is there something I need to do with a age cert from a club? I think I remember the VJMC were able to do something for similar Japanese bikes?
Thanks for any help.

» question for fazer owners |
|
May 11, 2021 - 5:21 AM - by sidegrinder
|
I picked up a '99 600 fazer project to
work on and have a few questions,
throttle rotation; does the throttle tube on a fazer not go all the way back 3/4 of the bar like a regular bike? the one i have stops at the top, doesn't travel behind the handlebar almost like a quick throttle but its not as sharp as something like a domino & im sure its oem. am i dealing with a restrictor somewhere?
has anyone fitted aftermarket rearsets to one? if so what did u use etc?

I have a bike that needs an new ECU. Loads for sale on ebay but none come with the key unless you pay crazy money. Is there a way of programming my original key to work with a new ECU? If so where could I get it done?
Bike is a K6 burgman.

Anyone got any good ones worth sharing? I have 4 halogens on the bike at present and theyre borderline shiote.. Having a led bar on my cage I feel I need to go down this road..
I have high and low hooked up to seperate relays and I would Ideally like to tidy up the front with a combined spot/flood..
I have ordered from Auxbeam in the past and found them excellent.

These aren't too far from what I like the idea of. Any other suggestions for a fella??

» Yamaha QT50 Yamahopper 50 running restoration |

May 09, 2021 - 5:08 PM - by ninky_nonk

Hi lads,
I'm helping a friend get his vintage moped up and running. I'll stick a picture up later. I just collected it today.
Its a Yamaha QT 50 Yamahopper bought from Ernie Barrett in Mountjoy Motorcycles back in the early 80's.
Frame/Engine Number 3L5-912640
Reg 232 LZO
Bike looks sound enough. Its been lying up for a good 15 years.
I've washed the bike and taken off the fuel tank. Its mucky inside. Fuel petcock looks jammed up with crud. Its a 2 stroke 50cc. Very similar setup to the PW50 with shaft drive.
Need to sort out the fuel tank initially and thereafter the carb. Appreciate any advice on cleaning it. I've put through a couple litres of petrol. Came out looking like pints of smithwicks... [Read More]

Just wondering if anybody has brought in secondhand parts from Australia and have they been clobbered with charges.
Just seen a set of original and almost perfect discs for my bike that I fancy but at €320 + 80 p+p its pricey enough already and I don't want to get extra on top.......
I am assuming secondhand parts are still liable or might I be lucky?

» Garden/Bike shed |
|
Apr 29, 2021 - 8:45 PM - by 2shea

Well lads and ladies.
Any recommendations for a good garden shed? The place is finally dry enough and building is kicking off again.
I was thinking of going with a steel tech shed 8x10 or maybe 10x10 with double doors on a concrete base, run some electricity to it as well as putting an extra zone on the house alarm out there too. The guy that fitted our system said he'd just add an extra wireless sensor out there when we got one which is great.
I'm based around naas so there's also Clane sheds out here too. Anyone have any experience with them?
Main thing for me I suppose is not to go too small. I want it big enough to fit 2 big adv bikes comfortably and space for my riding gear, boots and lids. 10x10 with a centre... [Read More]

Can't remember the last time I saw so many bikes out and about. Perfect conditions today. 400km done. Beer time now.
Seen a lot of older (80s & early 90s) bikes around.
If we got a summer like today, I'd be happy.

Hows things lads? I have a set of track fairings that I want to tidy up and was just wondering if anyone can recommend somewhere I can get cellulose aerosol paint? I tried to purchase some from a place in the UK but when I went to checkout turns out they wont post to Ireland. The only place I can think of is Halfords but maybe ye can suggest a better place to get some from. Thanks!

» Frame repair |
|
Apr 19, 2021 - 8:22 PM - by padraic2271
|
I recently bought a project bike that was dropped at some point and the lug on the frame for the steering damper took a knock. The alloy around the lug is pushed in.
There are no marks or scratches on the frame, it looks like with the right skills the dent could be removed like the paintless repairs can be done on metal panels. The frame has an anodised finish so I want to avoid painting it.
I sent photos to a company that specialise in frame repairs in the UK and they reckon they can repair easily, but with brexit, customs etc I'd rather get repaired in Ireland if possible, does anyone know of anyone in Ireland that might be able to take a look?

» Best way to remove rear caliper piston |
|
Apr 14, 2021 - 8:09 AM - by strontium_dog
|
Back brake is binding badly on my ZRX so I decided I'd have a look. One of the pistons doesn't want to move at all. It's the one that you can't get at as the fluid enters from the other side. I suppose I need to somehow stop the side that moves so that all the pressure goes to the stuck piston. Just wondering on ideas on the best way to do that?
Thanks.
