Lilli only seems to race against squirrels. Unfortunately she often wins😳

Tbh he does look like a champion 🏆

Lilli could sleep for England, if it was an olympic sport.

Sorry meant less than £100 in total. Second hand seat and new cover.

My xs came with a dead cool seat 🤭, though it was a bit shabby. Unfortunately I couldn't find a new cover for it. So I just kept looking on eBay until a suitable standard second hand one came up. It was solid enough, but needed recovering and the pan repainting. There's a great post in the tech...

That's really great, thanks. I'm heading for eBay.

I'll have a look at what yambits have. I'm impressed with their service.

I'm thinking it'll be good too. It seems like the twin piston caliper is good. Maybe the standard master cylinder would be fine 🤔

Hi I'm looking for some more help/advice. I'm about to sort out my front brake. It's the early twin piston caliper. The master cylinder appears to be beyond saving. The caliper isn't much better. I've read all the posts I can find about the smaller piston bore recommendations. Most of the posts...

Classy looking instrument. It's nice to just play for the enjoyment of it.

I've been making instruments for around 40 years. Most of the more interesting electric guitars and bases, bazoukies and fiddle's were pre digital. I don't seem to have many photos. These three were my last ones.

I always loved guitars. I'm not very good at playing. So I could never justify (to my wife/financial controller) the costs. So I taught myself how to make them. I can't get into my workshop at the moment because there is a XS650 in the way. This is the last one I made. It's an arctop based on...

It's usually issues caused by the previous owner that need sorting with dogs. It's just the same with old bikes. Time and patience.

They can take relaxing to a whole new level

It's a hard life

I must admit I didn't know about Bonneville Indian manufacturing. I believe they are bringing out a new range of lower capacity triumphs manufactured in India. It's a little sad tbh. I was so happy when the first hinkley triumphs were produced. I actually had one of the first generation triples...

Mine was a 2011. Air cooled fuel injected. It was a bit snatchy at low revs. I did a stage 1.5 tune. Remapping, modified airbox, removed emissions control and more open silencer. Really nice sorted bike. Reminded me more of a Norton commando than an old bonnie. Unfortunately I moved house and...

I did check the small ends carefully and they seemed fine. A friend who's built a couple of these engines had a look as well any thought that they were okay. I believe it's only done around 20 000 miles. The oil feed thread was fine. It's probably my rubbish photography

I've started wading through the various carb threads. A bit of a can of worms. I'm not at all knowledgeable regarding CV carbs. A bit of a steep learning curve. It'll be a while before I get round to the carbs. My idea is to rebuild the US carbs to the richer European spec. There's a document...
