What have you done with your bike/s today?

[Greybeard]

Today, because a photographer is coming to take pictures of the house and surroundings for the estate agents I have stashed stuff all around my motorbike. We've got a lot of 'stuff'. Mind you, the weather is 'orrible so I was not going to be riding anyway.

GB i thought i had " stuff" in my house but when i came to yours , you do have LOTS of stuff, good luck with packing all that away safely

Set the ignition timing on the A10 and A7. First try on the A10, second on the A7. Not bad. The misfiring on the recon mag fitted to the A7 might just be down to the points being at 1.5 thou rather than 15 thou. Will need to keep an eye on them. Both got oil changes too. Next the rest of the servicing plus a good clean. Then as much riding before the gritters are out as possible.

During the last couple of days, I made a floating bowl extension on my little lathe. But the weather is now too bad to test…

Forgive my ignorance Tinu, but what does it do?

Spent the afternoon doing a bush conversion on the swinging arm of the Road Rocket project.

Musky,  fancy putting my carbs back on after i'v changed the main jets for the correct ones?  NOOO i thought so i look like plugging the heat gun in when they go back on.  well urma is not going out anymore this winter so i decided to drain the tank and take the carbs off because she has the wrong main jets for her set up [ too big ] and i had to leave the air filter end cover off so she would go like a nutter bike instead of bogging down at 5000rpm , my mistake because i didn't realise this JDM bike was jetted differently to all the others with only having access to haynes and clymer manuals that don't touch the JDM bikes set up, also when i set the air screws i set them a tad more open than they should be and it's been a little swine to start in the cold when it's been stood.  so there's a couple of things to correct and if i get the chance to nip out again it will be on betsy .

i don't know if my carburettor has enough flow to provide enough fuel when going uphill. Uphill means steep climbs on top of passes, as we have it here in Switzerland...
But I'm not sure if it really helps 

[Swarfcut]

 I've always wondered what it does!

 According to the AMAL site, it "increases the available fuel capacity". But at around £50 here in the UK, it also diminishes your available short term finances.

 I reckon that is a good example of time well spent, and full justification for the Euro's spent on those lathe tools. Well done.

 Swarfy.

G'day Bergs.
Have you ever changed the air cut off diaphragms? Why not give them a full resto. https://tinyurl.com/4d9tavww
Good idea with the heat gun, never thought of that.
Cheers

musky they had the full works a couple of years ago but wrong mains fitted because i only had haynes and clymor books that didn't cover the japanese market bike for jet sizes and when i saw 102's in the books they went in but they are having the 75's back in and the air filter side cover back on

G'day Fellas.
Rode the HD up to Grey Gum Cafe Saturday to a memorial for a fallen brother. His son Thomas wasn't a year old when Ruley passed, now walking and up to all sorts of mischief (just like dad).
Had a great night with good friends.
Sunday weather looked great so came home the long way via Bylong Valley Way. Only two beer stops along the way. The bike knows her way home 
Cheers

Looks a good ride mate, about 100m I reckon!

[muskrat]

G'day Worty.
317 miles all up. Have to watch the speed limits on the Putty Rd, the coppers luv it but didn't see any. The Bylong rarely see's a copper so the speed is a lot higher where conditions allow 
Cheers
