I know where there might be some brackets but they’re in the US.
Do you want me to ask my pal over there Dom? It’s a bit of a long shot but I know they’re there…… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3

Isn’t there a link on the classic octane site for a slot into the loom 4 way key barrel, I’m sure there is but you may need to list the videos and go to the links on each one to see but I’m sure there’s a link, maybe a hamazon link. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 5

You legend, cheers for that. I actually thought they were fixed in the cap or part of it. Never knew they came out at all. Brill, that’s a great result

Nope, all there, I simply don’t know where it’s from as I’ve only had these on the bench and it was a clear, clean towel down to do them on. I’m 99.9% positive that it’s not off these but just wanted a sense check, you know how it is!
It’s deffo carb parts as it’s so clean and that Black/dark grey colour, exactly the same colour as those two T pieces that sit in the lifters. You know when you’re working on something, undo stuff and then turn it over to access other screws and something falls out onto the table. Eeeerrrr, bugger, where’s that from then, not seen one of them there before,not on a 400. Well this is one of those occasions! . I did the 400 carbs on ‘Chewy’ 2 years ago so being old and farty, my memory’s not what it was but I’m sure I’m right and it’s a foreign body. Happy to be corrected though before I give em back Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 15
Misc / Open / Re: Best way to lubricate none O ring bike chains question?« on: May 09, 2024, 09:31:17 PM »
Putoline do that wax in an aerosol Ted, anti fling it’s called and sticks like buggery. I use it on the VFR, none in stock in the shed currently as I’m using up some free stuff I got with a CSK kit but I’ll be buying some more it’s ace
Any chain lube will do as long, quite rightly put, you don’t end up with it everywhere and all over the bike. There are several tins that you warm up in a pan of hot water which you bob the chain in, mostly in the motor cross shops, it’s a staple for them. Really good stuff and well worth the dosh mate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
