URGENT PARTS WANTED - Plug leads, throttle/switchpack unit.

Post by Vard66 »

Bump and Edit.

Massively stressed, and still can't be f*cked to switch the whole forum layout to access the for sales.

URGENT need of another right hand switch pack unit, folks.

My throttle has just broken horribly, and started making clicks and grinding noises.

Also URGENT need of a good condition set of plug leads, mine are all (yes, all) f*cked.

I only took the f*cking thing apart to put one f*cking dowel into it, and now I need throttle cables, throttle and switchpack, and plug leads.


Right.

I can't be bothered to change my entire forum layout to post a wanted thread in the classifieds that I can't see or access, so I'm just going to post in here. Mods, please feel free to duplicate it to the classifieds section, but if you do, leave this one here please - I won't be getting into the classifieds to see replies!

Also, Baz. Make it work. Now. Pretty please with a cherry on top.

Not all of them, just Hestia Green. Please. Please please.

I've discovered that the bottom bolt of the two holding my expansion tank on, has been bent inside the fitting, so I can't extricate it, or fit it without the whole expansion tank being wobbled round in a big drunken circle, making it ultimately very difficult to get the top bolt aligned.

At the same time, I've noticed that both my panels between the frame and fairings, have broken mounts.

So, anyone with an expansion tank, or these fairing pieces;

please let me know, preferably via PM, and sharpish.

WITH ALL FITTINGS INCLUDED PLEASE FOLKS!

Why not locate the top bolt of the tank first ? ?
Or is the bottom bolt so badly damaged that it wont turn at all.................TBH I'm sure with a little effort you could get it straight/turning again it's only one M6 bolt

Or why not just put the weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee into the tank and throw it away :excited and replace it with a little plastic bottle zip tied to the rad racer styleeeee works a treat for race bikes...................

If you really insist I have an expansion tank bit scruff but no holes...................£20 delivered

Right.

Cargo, thanks for the offer, but in the meantime, I've managed to bend the bolt back just enough to get the expansion tank on properly...ish. I'm still going to be after the fittings for the cowls, so hopefully when someone can sort me out with them, I'll replace it.

So now, all I am after is the little fairing cowls, both sides as pictured above, and with fittings please folks!

Rang Cradley, and they're £36 odd new each, so f**k that.

Those bolts on my bike were bent too, im think it was caused by the bike being dropped at some point. winding the bolts in and bending tham back to shape is how i straightened mine.

Not if you're using something other than Prosilver as your board layout, you don't.

On Hestia Green, I cannot see or access the classifieds, and switching back to Prosilver, the chat box at the top annoys me and I cannot find anything, because I haven't used it since... since the forum revamp I think.

I've straightened them to a degree, using a handful of stainless bolts to protect the thread, and a couple of pairs of moles, but they didn't go in comfortably.

Hi,

I got a full set of ignition coils with leads and HT caps all connected and fully working with newish leads on. I also have the right hand switch gear in fully working order too (from a import model tho)

Regards

Rich
