Ok guys. Starting next week, I'm trying to sell my house, mainly due to Mrs C's insane lust for social advancement. Apparently having nearly 2 spare steamers in bits around the place is not going to help. :^_^
If you need anything you may get it at a bargain price. Spare engine anyone? Drop me a pm!
Ps alternatively if you'd like to buy a 4 bed house in Wiltshire with some spares for your steamer thrown in then please call my estate agents.
Pps if I move from Calne to Devizes can I change my forum name to NickDevizes?

Apparently you can, but it's only the display name, your account is still NickCalne. Mustang might know better....

Of course he does :bad Oh goody we can have some fun with that :ImaPoser
Got any Indicators :love10 I'm up for adding to my collection, spreadsheet time :ear
Hang on. I haven't moved yet and there is a fair chance it could be Marlborough, Avebury or Quemerford!
If I end up homeless I could be Nicknofixedabode or Nicktent.
Ok! :icon_lol:
What's the point of being a MOD if you can't have a LITTLE fun now and then :bad
I'm just amazed I'm not NickVladivostock or something by now. :icon_eek:

And Nick - YOU HAVE A PM :icon_biggrin:
You have a pm too!
Hi Nick, I'm after a back rack and the left and right side panels (either side of airbox) if you have them for my '93 900. Cheers.
I think it's me that NeilD just mentioned as he put me onto you after seeing my post on a FaceBook group!
Going into the hell hole that is the loft and I'll get looking. I definately have a rack, those particular panels ...not so sure. I'll check!
Assuming that your saddle is in anything like decent shape it should be better than mine is at present. Can I lay a claim on it, as you are venturing into your loft. I am probably driving to Dorset in the Autumn, I could pick it up then if you want.

Ok thanks Nick. Even just the rack would be a great start.
**When reading this part of the thread you should be humming the "I went to the danger zone" theme from Top Gun.
I went in the loft and dug out the first tranche of stuff for people. There is literally loads more in there but I must move some stuff around to get to it. I'll try again tomorrow and see what that liberates. Today's situation...
Alienfing - Sorry mate, error 404: rack not located at this attempt. See comment re tomorrow.
Jaydub - ECU located and ready to post. PM me your address. Some further good news the three 'free to good home' coils have also been located. I was expecting them to be Gill, but the letters P V & L are visible on the top of the units making you today's lucky winner! As for the side panel in black, I wasn't sure which one you meant. The picture below shows the black panels I have. You can have the side one postage only if it is the one you want. I would like to sell the others if poss.
GeoffW - Saddle found. Condition is pretty good, a couple of very small spots of wear on the corners. Can keep it by for you if you like, but would prefer to get it out of the house before I move if I can!
Sin Tiger - I found a couple of things you might like including some rear stock indicators and I know that at one point you were looking for a standard small screen, see picture.

Hi, I've only just registered so excuse me for being cheeky, but would be interested in the airbox if still available, and possibly the forks.
Regards.
PM sent via Sputnik.
I recognise that screen :(
Ok guys update time.
Alienfing, the rack is not anywhere to be found. Sorry for getting your hopes up.
Jay, I'll post your kit tomorrow if time allows. Yes I have a clock somewhere, it's yours now buddy.
Tanker, yup forks and airbox available ...make me an offer!
NeilID, Sorry buddy but she lives on in spirit keeping my obe going.
Ok thanks NickVladivostock.

Ok thanks NickVladivostock.
I have a steel tube, earlier type, that is straight but needs some tlc if that's any good to you.
Nick, I`d be interested in the carbs (Mikunis?) and the 3-1 headers.
Picture of the headers would be nice.
Still owe you a pint for the clock surround you sent me a while back. :augie
And you still have a clutch case in the offing.... :augie
Thanks Nick! :notworthy
Nick, you have a message, on here, I hope!

Any joy with any air box panels/covers Nick?
Will do Jay when I send the rest of the kit.
Alien sorry. None found. Had one of everything except what you needed it seems...
Alien, I notice sprint manufacturing (ebay user newtown20) have a black air box side panel on ebay at the mo...
Delivery received today thanks Nick - thanks... I was slightly dissapointed to find that the container which stated 'chicken Korma Madras no chicken' (!) actually contained no curry, just a set of dirty tiger coils... Excellent re-use of icecream tubs my man! :ImaPoser
Haha enjoy the colis and ecu. My wife is a fiend for tupperware and ice cream containers type items. The real reason I have to move the bike stuff is to make way for more tubs....
I fitted both this morning and guess what... No change whatsoever! :^_^ it still has the annoying on/off throttle characteristic and it still surges (but much less of a problem now I've titted about with the fuel/air screws). So that's everything changed... there's nothing left - I just have to live with it :icon_rolleyes:
BTW Nick... when will me chicken Bhuna be here mate? (and will it actually have chicken in it this time?)
:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

Ha Jaydub, you wait until you see what your panel comes wrapped in, in a couple of days.
Not as bad as Geoff's saddle which looks like the bottom half of an Egyptian mummy...
Nick, PM'd you my details. Hope you got them, not sure all of the msgs I sent actually came through.

Nick, If the 3-1 headers don`t sell, give me second dibs? :thumbsup
Will do.
Yepp, that's what I want Nick. :notworthy Send it away and give me banking details.
Sorry for late reply, been busy for few days.
Edit: Haha, thanks for the cat offer, but I can only fit one Tiger in my parking spot. :icon_biggrin:
I'll have the cat, I specialise in second hand moggies they're the best
You have no idea how tempting it would be to post you the cat....

Tankerman... your forks are going out tomorrow.
P3ak... part 1 of your stuff is going out tomorrow too. Everything except the headers themselves for which I need to find a bigger box.
Thanks Nick.
Cheers!
Hey Nick, I just had the low fuel warning tank sensor die. Don't spose there's one in your EU parts mountain?
Also... has the left hand mirror gone yet? (providing it's black and not chrome :nono)
Jaydub - yes and yes!
So, thats yes to having a sender unit and yes that the mirror has gone :icon_scratch:
I PM'd you.
No. It's yes. Not yes it's no. On both counts.
Both here in the EU parts mountain somehwere.

also! any chain guards in the mountain?
... thats it now, promise :icon_biggrin:
I have just found a crack in my rear wheel rim. Corrosion from salt getting in via the valve hole, has caused a crack from the hole to the spokes either side. SO..... Do you still have a rear wheel? As mine is beyond repair.
Sorry Geoff already taken by 3pot.
Half an exhaust system arrived at my dads today. Thanks Nick! :wave
Other half will go shortly P3ak!
Nick, I received the tail light today. Why?????
:ImaPoser :ImaPoser :ImaPoser
Meant to say. It was spare thought it might suit the cafe racer!
I'd put up some laughing smilies but I can't get the bastards to work since I upgraded to Windows 10.
Thanks very much for the thought Nick, very kind of you. I really like it too. Just have to design a rear end around it :-)
Ahh, it's not me then, it's windows 10!
Update time:
Just got a bunch of personal messages come through all at once... So I thought I'd do a post to round them up.
Threepot - I have the rear wheel and it is also now reasonably clean! I have been holding out as I am in Wales (Crickhowell area) about every third week. I don't know how close that is to you but I wondered whether there was a chance to meet up and save you the cost of postage which will probably be around £15 - £20. Would that be better or shall I just post it and stop being a jessy? Oh and in terms of payment we'll sort it when it gets to you, whichever way round that is.
P3ak - Second package dispatched, hope it has got there. Let me know and I'll send you a total.
Alienfing - Exhausts, will package them up tonight / tomorrow when I get a chance and post thereafter, pay as we agreed on facebook. MY pleasure mate btw.
Sin Tiger - After all the favours you've done me over the years do you really think I'd ask for anything!?!?! Also found a couple more blue panels if you remain interested.
Bixxer Bob - You're welcome mate!
Jaydub - Your rear shock, lhs mirror and brake calipers went off today... And yes the mirror is black not chromosexual. The things I need to try and find for you again are now just tank nuts, fuel sender, clock, chainguard. I'll keep the search going as we are getting nearer the bottom of the parts mountain. Front wheel is still available in case you change your mind on that.
Thanks for payments to date from RF9, Jaydub and Tankerman. Much appreciated.
Apologies. Steamer96 - I keep forgetting to check the engine and answer your questions. I'll sort it tonight promise!
2:nd package with exhaust system has arrived! Thank you Nick!! :wheel
Send payment details in PM. :icon_biggrin:
Thanks Nick, Just to let you know that I appreciate all your faffing and packing /posting etc :notworthy

Thanks Nick. Do you still have a bash plate? I take it thats the sump guard? Could I possibly have that too please as mine is a badly cut out bit of steel and looks nasty! Thanks either way.
Yup I have a bash plate/ sump guard. Ned to swap it with my own however as the spare is nicely powder coated. The original is absolutely fine though.

Anything is better than what's on mine, just would like an original one that fits better and has the holes in the front! Much appreciated if you could fit it into your busy packaging process when you have time. If not no worries. Let me know total if it's a go. Cheers.
Jaydub. Found you a clock! Still need it?
THANKS NICK!!! ...for the surprise delivery - mucho grassyarse! £?
Well chuffed with the Fishermans friend tin! :thumbsup
,,, and one more last thing, promise - Any bar risers? :icon_redface:
£0.00 jaydub. Just whatever the shock etc was if you havent already paypaled it. No rush if you havent btw.
Gave the bar ends to threepot at the weekend with the handlebars I'm afraid.
Thanks for making the trip Nick :icon_salut:
PayPal'd you last week Nick, thanks v.much, it's risers I'm after though, not bar ends. There could be anything hiding under the mountain... Thought it worth a try :augie
