viking Posted May 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 iv been having a bit of a think this last few days about my next project, although iv loved and still are doing bonni, its taken up a hell of a lot of my time, and as some of you may or may not know my other half grace was diagnosed for the second time with cancer, breast cancer when she was 25 and the 3 years ago it came back only this time it was stage 4 incurable, she was between 3 months and 3 years to live,and she is only 36, i think but touch wood and i pray to god the mother ******* thing is being kept at bay and neither of her tumors have got worse, and iv been a little unfair this past 8 months spending so much time on my land rover, so another project like that is not going to be possible, but as i now have the bug i will need to do something but some thing that will not be so time consuming, so iv decided to go back to a bike i had as a child, or one of them as my first bike when i was 8 was a yamaha ty 80, then when i was 10 i got a ty 175, so im going to get one of them and do that up but not spend so much time, and god how much easier it will be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking Posted May 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 well today didnt go as planned really, first we thought we would check all the brakes, shoes, cylinders and what not, upon inspection of the rear cylinders one side was marked at 1 inch,the other side was marked at 1 1/4 inch for some reason, and i still cant find out if thats correct or if they should be the same size, and what size, so in to the front ones, they were ok but realised it could do with some new bearings for the half shafts, so that was pretty much that for the brakes really, then just pottered about doing odd jobs like putting the new clutch master cylinder on, so now it looks worse than what it did when we started so i didnt even take any pictures, better luck next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
