That’s looking great Paul! Love the Rickman shape tank. If you need a fairing I have a NOS rickman I picked up around 20 years ago I’ve always planned to use on something.. lol.

3 more weeks minimum eh.. went to refill the ale stash to last a couple more weekends.. 4 day week now working from home and holiday Monday so 4 whole days to do jobs! :eek did a couple of bits on J.. waiting on bits.. did a bit in 750 engine.. waiting on bits. Painted the rusty old umbrella stand! ...

Nice Bill! H1 also? They are all coming out now! Wonder how many more stashed away

Oem rear shock is pretty stiff on them though isnt it Lee. Swopped my H1one out for a fully adjustable ohlins jobbie just to make it bearable for more than a 50 mile jaunt. side.jpg Nice clean H1 that Warren! Yes it is that! I must admit I did want to change mine out too but since it doesn’t get mu...

Love that 1000J.... also I see one of my favourite bikes lurking there I think, a ZXR-750H is that? Thanks for comments! Yes ZXR750 H2 - this was my best friends bike who sadly was killed in an accident when he was vey young, it’s not really my bike I only regard myself as the custodian of it until...

Best looking J around :up Thanks Piggy. Well happy with it just hoping I can get some more use of it this year but guess that’s not starting off well! What else I have done in isolation is getting shit faced too many times and having the wrath of Mam in the morning! Me and bunch of guys from work h...

Been working from home I’m reduced hours so lots of time for boring stuff like painting and garden! Getting through the list!! More interesting got the J on the ramp finishing off all the snagging list that never got finished and quick service.. Ready for action when the time comes!

Gents

Anyone got a decent seat latch they would like to sell? 49031-1006.

Mine is all a bit bent out of shape and someone seems to have filed away one of the hooks so seat keeps coming loose on one side.

Thanks
Lee

Perfect thanks so all good. Another day to kill rebuilding bottom end then this weekend.

Sorry guys one more question to stop me
Second guessing as I don’t see a minimum clearance in the manual only maximum. I replaced all shells with Blue as per my measurements and seem to be 0.063mm clearance on all.. so within service limit but what is the minimum acceptable? Thanks!

TLC - long time hope your well? Now that may be the easier option to ensure I don’t get the wrong combo of stand and springs. Will send you a PM. Thanks!

Lee u may have incorrect side stand and had correct springs ? Look at pic 2 the other spring is a bit distorted and longer as incorrect stand was used on the 1000s I got Germans had 2 for 18” wheel and 19” make sure ur stand is right first :biggrin DE3E3FC3-0176-4DF2-8662-DB54889A0816.jpeg Compo th...

Gents Just getting the J all ready for when were allowed out again and last year I had a rather scary moment when the side stand decided to flip down on me when ridding! Assumingly because I had the wrong spring setup on it.. SO I am after the correct three Springs needed but all seem to be no longe...

Vernier isn’t accurate enough as the range between is minimal. Got a Mic now so will have a measure tomorrow though and see what like. Thanks!

if you are replacing them like for like there is paint on the edge of the shell check across all the main bearing shells to see if you can identify the colour & order them from the part no in the workshop manual that relates to each colour Yeah I was looking for that but seems that it’s disappe...
