  1. Just fitted Oxford heated grips using the supplied Super Glue. When the left grip gets hot the glue melts and the grip turns when using the clutch. Any ideas on glue I could buy to overcome this? Thanks John.
  2. Hi all. I have a small tank bag that fits to a magnetic base with a quarter turn lock. I want to glue the bag to the base permanently for better security, I'm not concerned about having to remove the base as well as the bag if its glued on but as it is now its so loose I think it would fly of if I use it. I cant think of the name of the material but its the black stuff most cheap tank bags are made of. Any suggestions for the right glue to use. I have the usual pu tubes of sikaflex and stuff from Toolstation would that do? Thanks John.
  3. Ive been caught out a couple of times missing bikes coming up quick, one time I hesitated filtering, I didnt think I had enough space then the next thing a rider with more confidence filtered very fast from behind me I hadn't seen him at all. Another time on a long straight country road I missed a bike coming from behind he passed me a bit too close and frightened me to bloody death.
  4. Off topic a bit, I am struggling to see how to upload my days riding footage from Gopro. I am planning a bit of a jolly in May, I want to upload photos and videos to a motorhome forum and also here if anybody is interested. Its easy enough to upload my pics and vids from my android phone but I want to use my Gopro as its only a few weeks old. The Gopro has very big files and even if I resize them they are too big and will not load onto the forum if I use the "attach here" box. What I need is a link for members to click on to see big files. I have spent hours on youtube and google and am almost beaten. I have google drive, a resizer, and the gopro quik app with subscription. If I upload from gopro quik app I have a few options to send to but I want to copy a link and post it at the end of my text on the forum. I suppose its a clickable url that I'm after. Iv'e found one or two solutions on Youtube but they are messy and not straightforward. All the gear but no idea.
  5. Looking at that plug I would say the mixture is a bit lean.
  6. As a Yorkie I remember Yorkshire Pudding and gravy was always served first on its own as a filler I suppose. My Mums Yorkies were the best but Delia Smith has a great recipe. She is not from Yorkshire but a great cook all the same. Happy new year everybody.
  7. I'm not sure about the MOT on Cat N but its needed on Cat S. I bought a Cat N Fazer with very little cosmetic damage, I got a new MOT test on the bike. I fitted a new indicator, repaired the headlight surround and a second hand mirror. They write all types of vehicles off these days with little damage because of high parts cost and labour rates. Its a cracking bike and I dont think I will ever part with it. John.
  8. I have a new Classic 350 and love it. I think the Meteor has the same engine and frame, if you are not in a rush to buy and the weight is not an issue I would wait for the 650. As an old timer I bought mine with the weight in mind, being honest I do miss the power of my Fazer 600. So many riders tell me not to sell the Fazer as I will regret it. John.
  9. Just noticed your reply, what went wrong with the bike?
  10. Yamaha Fazer 600 2003. Bombproof, fast, great performance (still got it)
  11. Welcome from sunny Yorkshire.
  12. I can hear one cylinder has low compression on cranking the engine.
  13. The idiots have closed Ferrybridge and its neighbour Eggborough power stations along with Kellingley and the Selby coalfield pits.
