Hi all

I bought this £500 bit of a dog TLS and plan to rebuild it into something respectable and a little more modern, because I think these are god bike that could be better like a lot ive seed on this site.

So for who is interested ill be posting various pics in my rebuild and maybe asking for some advice on the way! :hail

Hi is there no way to upload picture without Photobucket?
there is some sort of way to attach pictures, but the format is small, and there is a limit...best to use photobucket or similar....i use photobucket, so dunno what alternatives are out there, sorry
There is. If you've hit Reply then if you "Go Advanced" then in there is the option to manage attachments. You can use that to upload images but yes, storage is limited. The button is bottom right on the reply screen. You can also do it via the Settings menu.

Cheers

Hi yes I was very surprised how quick it fired up! And sounds awesome, mechanically it's a very good bike it just needs some loving lol, I'm gonna take it apart this weekend and go through it totally, I've got a few ideas milling around in my head k10 Busa front end and wheels, I've already bought a MINT front K10 Busa wheel and got my eyes on a set of Radial forks of the same bike! custom made two into one with 2" bore pipe into a 2.5" link pipe, might fit a TLR swinger with centre mounted Hornet 900 remote shock! Etc etc all good fun eh!!

If you are using stock TL valving, use 7 wt oil, use stock fork seals.

Hi I'm using Suzuki Hayabusa complete front end! They are in mint condition, so with the weight of a Busa I weren't going to touch the front end at all thinking the valving etc would be fine as is.

Love the rear fender or whatever y'all call em across the pond. Here it's a fender, their it's probably something like the Queens rain water return mechanism or some shit. Either way I want one.

HA! Love it...

Oh and I think the term is hugger regardless of country of origin. But I like adstl's more technical term...
Perky,

You should cast me that rear hugger and glass me one. :hail :cheers

... or convert to an R swinger and post it to me. :laugh

Can't find one for less than $150 and at that price I would rather flick rocks at people!

Also, I assume you are changing gearing since there is no chain. I am thinking of doing that next winter, so let me know what you go with and your impressions.
**** yeah, I definitly want a "presidents shit deflector". Btw, your not gonna piss off any Americans with that statement. It was a good attempt, except nobody likes Obama so I think it was pretty damn funny myself but I thought "the queens rain water return mechanism" was pretty damn funny too.
You have to use paint and select resize, then select keep aspect. Do this in pixels and enter 608 as the value. After you have done that, the site will let you uplaod your pix.
