Quote from: "Bixxer Bob"I have a doorstep of a book called Machinery's Handbook given to me by my boss when he retired.  Purchased today it would cost around £83. I was 22 at the time.  The book was printed in 1957, two years after I was born, but still relevant today.  It's gotten me out of a hole more than once!!

I have edition 24 which is more modern and has CNC info in it . I also have a Machinery Handbook dated from the 40's ............a lot of the info is the same , some things don't change much .

I think they might have dropped the bit about making steam tight gaskets out of asbestos and red lead paint by now.... :lol:

Hi Mustang, are they lowered pegs on your bike I see?
I am currently trying to figure out how to do that so my standing stance is improved. I have raised the bars as much as I dare.

the cable holds it fine as well as the torque when you tighten the axle nut
