refitted the tail tidy. This time soldering the indicator and rear light wires and replaced the soft allen bolts with some decent stainless jobbies. This involved and angle grinder! Checked and adjusted my Scottoiler and then took the wife for a short ride

looked at it under the cover as the weather is crap here and toooooo much rain
Adam Flynn South Australia, Australia Posts: 635 Daytona T595 10 Jan 2011 23:00
Lifted the motor onto the lifter and was thinking how hard it is going to be to fit into the frame.

hey Adam Nice bike in your pic mate. That your one
Adam Flynn South Australia, Australia Posts: 635 Daytona T595 11 Jan 2011 00:38
Thanks Yes it is my beast. Looks even or will look better once all back together will all the new bits. I like your bike even with the round lights on it. Black is the best I just looked at your photos. nice

You probably know this but it's much easier o fit a frame to a motor than the other way around. Either that, or you need something like a beer crate. Not sure how much help that would be though as the daytona motor doesn't have a flat bottom. http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i264/a...

lifting platforms are useful! (see pic 30/6/09 in my album) I also made a wooden former that's shaped to the underside of the motor so's it sits level and securely on the platform.

Nice Earlster - I'd like one for my old S3 - do you know if they're the same fit?
~EARL~ gods country wales, United Kingdom Premier Member Posts: 82,275 Speed Triple 1050 12 Jan 2011 11:40
dunno mate tbh, i do have a spare though
Rob G Plymouth, United Kingdom Posts: 426 Speed Triple 1050 13 Jan 2011 10:42
Ordered the anodised front and rear brake reservoirs and carbon heatshields. Also am going to send off my pillion peg brackets and heel plates for black anodising in the next few weeks. They are a bugger to keep clean and I think will look better in black

Which make of resevoir did you go for Rob?
Rob G Plymouth, United Kingdom Posts: 426 Speed Triple 1050 13 Jan 2011 10:57
Paul 'the' Bastard: Which make of resevoir did you go for Rob?
The Triumph ones Paul, got the set off our favourite auction site for £70, to be honest I didnt know there were others available.
also, finally decided to keep the TORS cans so the carbon shields are for them
Nice n Fat Wiltshire, United Kingdom Premier Member Bonneville (01-08) 13 Jan 2011 10:59
£70 the pair is cheap
Adam Flynn South Australia, Australia Posts: 635 Daytona T595 13 Jan 2011 23:29

Media File Bike got in the air by lifting the back first, then taking motor out. Lifiting front onto block. Fix motor and install again. This photo is motor sitting there with bolts in holes not done up. Then once done up lifted front section of motor to get blocks out and front now back on the ground. Back still up on stands.
Salty Hungerford, United Kingdom Premier Member Tiger Explorer 17 Jan 2011 21:52
