I do admire your dedication to the task. I have done 2 full restorations, KH400, RD400e, when the engines start and you get to ride them it is fantastic. 👍

MOT booked for 9am 2/4/24, they are perfectly happy with loud exhausts. Pulled the calipers off this morning, cleaned everything up, ordered new pads and the rubbers for the slides... No play or wobbles from the front wheel. Back wheel off, if it had a 170 section rear tyre I could have got it out without removing the tail pipe. Wheel is all clean and it gave me access to the inside of the pro arm for a clean. I need to work out how to adjust the chain without a centre stand. Mirrors have been prepped, filled, I'll paint them tomorrow. I'm sure I can hear the bike whispering 'finally, someone loves me' 😇

Boy she is unloved, butchered master cylinder screws, downpipes... Actually not blowing. Many fasteners replaced. Managed to get a front and rear paddock stand for a vfr @ £60 today, Haynes manual arrived 😁

I sold my Yamaha maybe 10 days ago, plan was to give up biking... Picked this up for £675 on Thursday... 1992 VFR 750 Honda V4. Many previous owners, last few with no idea. No mot but runs very well. I have until 2/4/24 to get it ready for an mot test, tyres are ok, forks and brakes are ok, all electrics work. There are missing fasteners in the fairing and front mudguard I am tackling first, involving, drills, plastic welding, super glue and fiberglass. I love it... 😍

So the 800 V twin did not happen. An rc36 just has though... £675, 43k and no mot, sounds really sweet and I think the running gear has another pass in it. Many bodywork cable ties, not that well fitted silencer. Best is I fit comfortably.

What a lovely little thing. Can't remember if I had 9 or 10 gtv/spiders, loved every one, the 2.0's are a pleasure to drive and work on.

. Chap I bought the wheels from loaded inpa/ista onto my laptop, he also put newTIS onto my tablet... Nothing I can't do now 😇😇😇 I am very envious! Do you know if the chap does this in general for folks or was it a favour? I'll need another laptop as my MacBook is out of space (it also have around 4 other diagnostic bits on it), but I am working on getting a dedicated laptop. Question asked 👍 Pretty sure it only works with Windows.

I really should have bought something like this rather than the '6'... But sense was never one of my strong points.

Hmmm, after searching I can find no free downloads either, it's a curse word as my new link cable is on the way, wife says I can use her laptop. I may end up with a handheld. Tie up with ECUWorx, and chat with Martyn. He does a cable, and software for E46s, more for coding the cars. But he may do ISTA-D for yours. Carly can do alot of on these, but ISTA/INPA are better alternatives IME. That said, I've -registered batteries on 3 BINI/BMWs -Coded a few cars, including my E46 and an F31, for customisation. I've even coded a pre-LCI E39 with a conversion lead (OBD to round pin) -General fault finding, again on older round plug BMWs too ; I reset an airbag light on a mate's E36/6 (Compact) It's also done Fords too, which is handy. Annoyingly, it doesn't do Saabs too well, but then not much short of TECHII works well on a Saab . Chap I bought the wheels from loaded inpa/ista onto my laptop, he also put newTIS onto my tablet... Nothing I can't do now 😇😇😇

Oh I do like these, and they can be had for buttons...wondering if I can stomach the running costs if I use it as a daily with a 60 mile commute...and knowing that it's basically a writeoff if anything goes wrong 635d... 😇

Took a 760 mile drive on Sunday for some wheels and diagnostic software. I do like them... But do I like them as much as the original dished wheels. Time will tell.

I have been reliably informed that the lights that are on are not standard. Someone has coded the main beams to act as drl's.
