Red face If you can't beat 'em........
It might be due to the economic down turn.




It could be something to do with peer pressure.




It's probably my age.




Well, whatever the reason, it's finally happened..................











I have tools!!!!





In my "workshop" !!!!!




And I've actually used them!!!





So far I have:
  • Removed, cleaned, re-greased and re-fitted the Twin Air filter
  • Re-routed breather pipes through to the air box.
  • Replaced rad shrouds and seat.
  • Changed the oil, filter and sleeve
  • Dropped the rear wheel out to get a puncture repaired (hopefully re-fitting that tonight)
At the weekend I am going to hard-wire a Road Angel GPS (with Ordnance Survey mapping for green laning) to the battery and fit an in-line fuse to a water proof accessory socket which I'm going to fit behind the headlight shroud.


So far I've only tinkered with the KTM but the Harley is on my list for an oil change in the next week or so.

I reckon I've saved about £50 so far if you discount the hundreds and hundreds of pounds on cabinets, oil, filters etc.



So, am I a spanner?

Re: If you can't beat 'em........
It will still be used for jobs which are:
  • too complicated
  • warranty issues
  • boring
  • beneath me

Maggar you are like Royalty. In fact the Queen when Princess Elizabeth did a mechanics course as part of her war service.

Don't touch anything which has:

a) wires attached to it

b) oil leaking out of it
