That is something I will be watching Tony. I haven't checked mine for about the last 12 years! I should have watched the shim job on LBs bike at Stus day recently, I'm stuffed if I know how to work out sizes needed etc  :empathy3:

Hi Tony

Pencil me in. Is there any chance of a patch of carpet to sleep on?

Mark


Sorry Mark, Can't offer any accomodation at all, but I see Ray is offering a spare bunk in his caravan. A generous offer, Thanks Ray, and a lot more comfortable id say than crashing on a cold concrete floor.

That's the beauty of having the Manshed at your place.

, i'll bring the shim kit and tool along if anybody needs to use it.
usual rules apply, just replace the shims you use.   ken

Hey Ken did LB replace the shims ? If not let me know and I will bring the to Tony's.
All these years and still looking after my little brother...lol

As usual I'll bring the carb tune and fork tool.

Your an expert with these shimmy things aren't you Ken?

hehe, no.    It's easy enough to figure out with the chart , but my understanding is if it's just to tight (say .02mm) go down one size. There's a 50/50 chance that's wrong.

 :pardon: Thats what stuffs me up, the sizing charts and how intake/exhaust measurements are worked out etc. I'll be taking notes at Tonys thats for sure,  :wacko3:

Hi all,
        is anyone meeting up along the way with the view of travelling in together? Coming from Redland bay and do not know that side of town very well.... would save me getting lost. Just let me know where and when.

Also - I have a carb tune as well - happy to bring it if required..
