A bit naughty but you could take photos of a friends z of a similar year with the close up pics of your frame and engine no

Howdo BH. Ah bike jackets :-) another 'affliction' of mine sadly. Sort of accrued quite a few over the years and do like to try different ones (try usually equates to buy) One of my current favourites is the Belstaff Brooklands Leather in antique burnt Cuero (brown) but the annoying thing is that as soon as any half celebrity is seen in one or god forbid one is seen in a film the cost doesn't half ramp up a bit. Both Harley & Triumph do some crackers as well, trying to get a Harley one without some sort of boy scouts award patches on them is tricky. The old Triumph Rocket 3 leather jacket is brilliant but, as with quite a few of the alleged high end jackets, the zip pull tabs are prone to fail, or is my stomach getting bigger ! Anyway the Bonhams Autumn sale hurt me a bit but a do have a couple of sales in the pipeline. I post a link below to the jacket I currently use. See you at Barton when the sun comes up. Safe riding to all the viewers. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126629506111?

I have the same welder has that bought it in 92 still going strong if he needs any info I have the owners manual for it and the foot pedal is brilliant compared to some of the new stuff

❤️👍🏍

about your turbo you might want to look at a youtube channel called doctor motorcycle (one word) he has fitted turbo's and made the fitments to a number of bikes ,hope this helps

Coming on nicely 👍

Well done - nice mods - Norton should get your advice on tidying up ‘lazy’ fittings….

Hey guys The brackets on the fork tubes i would guess are for a headlight bucket Are these available or did you make these Thanks from canada

Happy birthday Jeff! Atb!

Good to see Jeff back on the channel.

Jeff is sadly a dying breed! A true old school engineer I’ve got nothing but respect for him!

YES!!!! Another Jeff’s workshop vlog

Yo Bevel Head, interesting video but I would edit out the Mk 1 Sten part and remove the wall decorations mate. Section 1 firearms with the required deactivation certificates are one thing but on the bench in the workshop of a very competent engineer could just trigger (see what I did there) a visit. Many years ago I feel foul by having smooth bored Lee Enfield's which were perfectly legal when I bought them but, over time, required to be deactivated as well. Stensby's on Shudehill in Manchester did what was required and got them off to the proof house in Birmingham for the appropriate stampings and certificates. Anyway see you at Barton when the sun comes up.....

👍🛠🏍🤢❤️

Hello! What would a job like this cost? Ballpark

Could you go any slower how can you test a 160 mph bike

I'm reminded of the old proverb- "man with two watches never knows the correct when asked".

Just bought a supermoto . To add to my other 4 bikes

One bike at a time now for me. The obsession has gone thankfully. As long as it is comfortable, reliable, reasonably economical, will hold its value and easy on the eye, I'm happy. We just don't have the climate here for me to get enthusiastic again.

Hello again, we have spoken on a couple of occasions at the Monday evening Barton Airport meet ups , one of my bikes featured in the start of a video you made at one of the meets its the blue BMW café racer with the Zard exhaust system fitted. Anyway being in my 60's with 47 years of riding behind me I often have had to 'thin out flock' as space, finances and other peoples tolerances are not infinite ! I tend to quickly go through bike ownerships and even I must admit the sum value of the 'flock' was often going from too much into the waay too much bracket but that said it is my passion and health allowing I hope it will continue for a few more years yet but riding position is now fast becoming a more important factor than it ever was, so much so the Laverdas had now sadly been let go :-( Model recommendation for yourself I can only and will only reflect on what I have owned, people who read then recommend are usually Facebook plonkers which I steer clear of, and the only one that could tick at least some of your boxes is the Indian FTR 1200 but personal choice is hard to evaluate / understand at the best of times let alone when bikes get thrown into the mix ! Two things I will end with, firstly I have often said to my son that if I die suddenly do NOT let your mum sell the bikes for what I have told her I paid for them and finally one of my friends who shared the watch affliction that I went through gave me a great piece of advice which was " Be careful your possessions do not end up owning you " Safe Riding To One & All.

Echo audio.

I'm guessing your not married! That is some collection. Was 888 obsessed 25 yrs ago. Got a 906, went to Budapest & back in a week. 800 miles on day 1 - survived - bike was pretty comfortable at steady 80-90. Cannot imagine that on the 888, so was right decision I guess. Rode a friends MHR in France many years ago. Lovely but makes 888 seem like a sofa. He toured Europe 2 up for years on it back in the day. Ex sidecar racer....say no more. Like the sound of the updated z650 project - good luck with the paperwork😊

It is probably an optical illusion , but @13 : 04 it looks like you have put the spring in the wrong way round .... impossible I know , but ......

Or chuck them on a concrete floor after cleaning them 🤦. You could also get them re-plated if the threads are ok..

Thanks for uploading this, great memories of a lovely warm evening. That's my Morini at the end, took me three years to build from a wreck!

Love my shaded visors Never going to change

Just a comment about dark visors, maybe someone can correct me if it is wrong. I read this in one of the mainstream bike mags years ago, sunglasses are polarized, block UV rays. Dark Visors do not. They have the effect of causing your pupils to dilate and therefore allowing more damaging UV into your eye than using a clear visor and sunglasses. I'm a Shoei fan myself but my god are they getting expensive, thanks for the review of the HJC..

Sod all....🤣🤣🤣

Have you abandoned the project ? I can't find the rest of the build on your channel

Good video and interesting chat, really enjoyed it.

Interesting bikes the Yamaha gts if I remember Steve linsell raced one at Isle of Man back in the day

Hi Bevel Head. I have a CR and I'm loving it. I was unfortunate to drop the bike whilst stationary in the garage. I feared the worst. I thought for sure the lovely stainles exhaust would be ruined. To my delight the rear pegs, which were folded up, saved the exhaust as they protrude just enough to keep them off the floor. Just a new clutch lever and I was good to go. I would concider putting a crash bung in there which should look ok.

I’ve just got the same bike. How much do charge for making a set of bobbins.👍

My god, that 888 is beautiful. Love your collection, I’ve subscribed

what about the 1170?

Why not take the battery apart and rebuild it. It will consist of an array of 18650 cells, just replace them.

Very interesting video ! Thanks

Remove the whole thing,its a megaphone can,they souund shit with the baffle out...leave in or take out whole thing to megaphone...trust me i had loads of em.

Love mine . Has got even better with 2k on it. Made some bobbins like yours, made them expanding with a tapped bunge. Also did the same with foot pegs. Have a Myford ML7.

Its called a chopper.

Where is your oil Guage what pressure is it cold and what does it drop to before you start to drive? What oil do you use? Where do you get parts from? You know of any tear down and rebuild videos?

There's no need to torque down the camshafts to full specs, when doing a bench shimming of the valves. Instead of all the guesswork on what's wrong with this or that - take measurements! Find out what's really wrong, in stead of jumping to the most plausible conclusion. And please stop talking about that Millyard twat! He has destroyed more than enough engines now, and shouldn't be encouraged to go on with that kind of stupidity!

Nice bike and good video, What’s about the Harley coil . Which Harley models & years I should look to do the same job? Thanks 👍

Bargain ! I’ve never heard of that brand but look cool

i would like those two mods for my new 961 but i am not an engineer, bugger!

I know the owner of that blue BMW that you start the clip with, he has loads of bikes and they are all top end special stuff. I first met him in 2018 when I totally wrecked my Ducati on the Nürburgring, he was on a mint Laverda Jota from the early 1980's. I can't thank him enough, he sorted out absolutely everything and paid for what was needed without hesitation. He was so trusting that I would pay him back as we were literally total strangers !

You 3 guys are legends.. Jeff, Les and yourself can accomplish anything and everything.. Your builds are first class . True motorcycle enthusiasts all of you...

Great videos, do you have a playlist with all four in it? Couldn’t see one

Glad you’re enjoying your new bike brother takecare out there to many people on the phone putting makeup on eating a pasty I nearly get killed at least once a week !👍🥟👍

Hi, will you make any to order as I want to take my rear pegs of
