I bought another one!

[rf9rider]

Success at last!
Carbs off again, stripped and cleaned, rechecked the float heights, fitted all the new o-rings and bowl seal, running great again  :D

[rf9rider]

Another little job done, front brakes bled, although had a slight problem.
The stainless bleed nipples were no good, couldn`t get the brakes to bleed properly, so replaced with the original nipples, and all is good.
The stainless nipples have a different end on where they sit in the caliper, the taper is the same, but the end is square, where as the originals have a pointed end, so i guess the stainless ones weren`t seating properly  :roll:

Got a few more bits in the box ready for the powdercoaters on Monday morning.

And had another visitor to pick up some bits, Phil, TigerTastic, came to pick up the original Tiger front calipers  :)

And a very grateful Phil he is too! Thanks for those mate, much appreciated. The bike's looking sweet, even better in real life than in the pics.

Thanks, got your brakes sorted yet?

Not much progress to report, changed all the switchgear screws for stainless cap heads.
Ordered a few things from Ebay, and waiting for stuff from the powdercoaters, should be here by the end of the week.

Been giving Steamer 1 a clean and checkover, ready for sale soon  

[rf9rider]

Postman has been  :)

Bought another set of low mileage white face clocks, and some LED`s to fit in the clocks and idiot lights.

Spare clock bracket is at the powdercoaters, which should hopefully be ready in the morning, along with a few other bits.

[rf9rider]

Also got a new set of new Daytona 955i indicators, as the other ones i bought were rubbing on the Givi top rack arms, although i got sent 2 left front, so returning one of those for the right side front  :roll:

[rf9rider]

Bought some spiral plastic wrap to fit around the front brake lines, to prevent them rubbing where they route through the front fairing bracket, pic shows how it fits, not the finished job  :lol:

[rf9rider]

Got my bits back from the powder coaters.



Thats my weekend sorted  :)

It won`t fit the standard rear Tiger caliper, i`m fitting an underslung caliper from a Trophy, saw this on another site, so copied him!
Its from a Honda VF1000, pretty rare, took a couple of months to find it, from  Ebay, USA.

Here`s where i got the idea from, a lot of useful info too.
