Re: What have you done today, Zephyr-wise?

hmm, just reminded me that I have a similar job to do on the 900 when I get around to it. Thread's not stripped (I hope!) but the sump nut is rounded off and will need removing/replacing. Also want to look at the oil pump whilst the sump is off - been told it can all be done with engine in frame, ev...

That does look good - will keep a note of Tony Archer for next time I need a seat re-upholstered myself. (presume he can do them to original standard spec as well?)

Re: What have you done today, Zephyr-wise?

its been a brakes day here today - been sorting out the twin front disks/calipers. They work fine, but nothing wrong with keeping them in good order, is there? Did notice there's the very beginnings of a slight warp on the RHS disk, so had a look to see how much/how easy to obtain replacements - sti...

Re: What have you done today, Zephyr-wise?

all you need then is a nice dry day to go out and test it :D (and if you really have married the same missus, please send her back - getting fed up with Pot Noodles ! ;) )

Re: What have you done today, Zephyr-wise?

The War Office in this household demanded that no more bikes made their way into the workshop until I had moved a couple on. Naturally I obliged by 'moving the Zephyr on' today, but only as far as the RH side of the workshop .... wait til she sees my new 1980 Suzuki GS550ET that's now sitting in the...

Re: What have you done today, Zephyr-wise?

haha! Glad I'm not the only one who can still be found in the workshop at nearly midnight! My work this evening was a simple wipe-over with ACF50 to try and keep the worst of the damp/humidity off the 750 and also off the other bikes in the workshop at the same time. Surprising how quickly they'll s...

Re: What have you done today, Zephyr-wise?

just seen the forecast for tomorrow .... :( more of what we've had for the last few weeks :evil: Today, however, is dry! :D 750 is warming up right now, and the 900 will be following the same route in about 30 minutes time. Just got to make the most of these 'weather windows' or I'll go nuts with ca...
