How shiny or bright aluminium shines after polishing depends on the aluminium. For comparison, compare the brake backing plate with the...

That's what I do, clean and repack.

I wonder what the longevity of wheel bearings is, sealed as compared with open, hub packed with grease.

Neither, just to stop it toppling over whilst it's stored away. I made this one a couple of years ago, for assembling and starting, it...

I made an engine stand a couple of years ago when I put the engine together, no idea what happened to it, must be hiding with all the 10...

These are xrays of elbow joints, the first two are of a normal, healthy joint, the last two are xrays of my elbows I had done a couple...

Here's some neat wire twitching. Looks like something a cocky (farmer) would do, but it was done by my finger surgeon. The twitching...

I wouldn't trust Geoffs, he's the one that supplied my front spokes. Postage from the US is exorbitant, that's why I'm looking on ebay...

I'm replacing the steering bearings with tapered rollers, but not sure if all models use the same sizes. I measured and found I need a...

I saw the orthopaedic surgeon today regarding my request for a scrape and clean, I had images taken after my last visit which he brought...

I didn’t even realize that Suzuki has pared down it’s cruiser line up. Interesting.

Anyone ever hear the phrase "The ton up boys" ? A reference to British motorcycle culture of the 1950's and '60's. As stated "the ton"...

I think it's time for Standards to make a revival. Sportbikes and Cruisers run the extremes of ergonomics, ADV's ride and handle pretty...

A few hours is all it took - it's just a pile of bits that once was an almost complete bike now, just needed tyres and the seat covered...

Yes indeed.

I submitted this yesterday, and Admin actually approved it, with the Picture.

You guys must check this site out, it's hilarious...

This is fat shaming, shame on you! Think how humiliated that poor XS feels!

I refurbished this mag a few months ago. The ribs and side walls were hit with a nylon fibre wheel to remove the dents/damage then...

Friedel Munch may have been an excellent engineer, but he was most definitely not aesthetically motivated.

We don't have that here, so haven't used it. The enamels I have used have all been very slow drying and chipped edges can't be...

Ok, let's call it Mdogo filler, covers all bases. I bogged an OIF Triumph nice and smooth many years ago. But the Brits frame building...

Get it right mate, BOG!

Body filler! The stuff Jim used on his frame to cover the Yamahaness.

We don't all come from the US, it's called bog where I come from!

That looks nice, I considered doing that on my 74. but baulked at the amount of bog it would take, I thought the amount I'd spend on bog...

When working as a pipe layer/timberman, I was down a hole one day guiding the backhoe operator to scrape the sides so the guy up top...

Mimicking the plate won't be hard. Mimicking the welding will definitely be difficult though. Grab a cheap welder from your local...

Don't know if they ever did, certainly didn't during my time I think the sabre was a 1950s jet. This one had no engine and was just...
