Quote:Yep interested how much do you want for it
 

It came to me as part of a lot of spares collected by a kind Carpedian when I bought his bike, so i don't mind passing it on for the cost  of postage.

If you send me your address in a private message I'll send it along, postage won't be much.

Rode it to the new house. 112 miles from Essex to Wiltshire in freezing, torrential rain. All motorway miles. Yuk! The bike never missed a beat but it took me several hours to thaw!
You don't need balls to ride a big bike.

Those brackets look the business....can you ride the bike over the lift easily, or do you fit the brackets when the lift is put in place under the bike ?

 

....
 

I have no centre stand, so:-

Park front wheel into holder / raise rear on paddock stand / slide EazyRizer under / Align rear spreader to pegs and front support to pipes / Position vertical brackets onto spreader / Bolt brackets down / Fit U-bolts / Lift

I spent a while getting the bracket dimensions correct so it all fits the bike quickly.

Removed the forks to replace a weeping seal

https://www.flickr.com/photos/142331699@...ed-public/

 

Got the leaky one done, as well as changed the bushes. I thought the old bushes would have been in worse condition but they looked surprisingly well.

 

The leg which didn't need doing got stripped down but i couldn't stop the damper rod spinning  as i tried to unlock the allen bolt, so I've called it a day and ordered  the damper rod retaining tool, so I'll have another go next week.

 

For a change I'm trying ATF instead of fork oil.

 

While I was at it I've stripped and cleaned the front calepers, painted up the radiator grille and cleaned, greased and refitted the lower stanchion clamp bolts because they were quite tight to undo

Finished off the forks, refitted the calipers. Ready to ride as soon as the weather breaks

 

Was going to change the oil and filter but the idea of a beef,onion and horseradish sandwich won the battle for my attention Smile

Replaced engine oil and filter.

 

I forgot the 900 doesn't operate on the 850's 'constant replenishment' scheme and that you actually do need to drain it from time to time

Rode her to the Scottish Motorcycle Show with a group of lads from Edinburgh Motorbike Runs. Wheelie hooligans...... I was twice the age of any of the others, and their bikes, but was in good company. https://www.flickr.com/photos/142331699@N02/27427244008Then met up with a pal and we headed to Anstruther for fish and chips

Are they the connectors you need the sperseal crimper for? I got a pack of 10 but the crimp tool is £35! Or am I wrong?

Received Gold valve emulators for the 9er + a set of caliper seals yesterday. Still too little snow-free space in the yard to take the bikes, but servicing forks could be done indoor.

The MkI got a present, too - an oil pressure switch  Smile

Is that the original choke handle, relocated ?

Yes. Smile Proper location is to the upper right end of the engine-frame bracket on the left side of the bike.

Put the front plastics back together and cable tied the new DRL driver untit to the plastic fairing support - > https://www.flickr.com/photos/142331699@...ed-public/

 

The DRL's flash in time with their respective indicators, flash rapidly when the horn is sounded, flash rapidly continuously when a handlebar switch is turned to on, dim automatically when the light reaches a certain threshold (4 threshold levels which are user selectable), they switch to their brightest setting whenever the  high beam is operated, and when you turn the ignition off they stay illuminated for 15 seconds to give you light to get out of your garage.

 

 

And then I began the permanent install of an onboard DVR camera system (front and back), mounting the front camera under the front fairing ->  https://www.flickr.com/photos/142331699@...ed-public/

 

The camera I bought is here - >  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motorcycle-Ca...2749.l2649

 

Unfortunately the remote control hasn't arrived so I'm contacting the seller to ask for a resolution, but the price isn't too bad anyway

The vid quality is in the ballpark of HD at the front, so not bad, noticeable barrel distortion but much like a GoPro. Low light is not bad either. Rear cam is lower quality but acceptable.



I wanted a version with a remote because because you get 2 buttons. One to permanently save the current filmed segment and another button to take photos.



If you don't want a remote control then you can get the 2 cameras and DVR with install kit for just £31.50, search ebay with this clue - 3" 32gb dvr
