XTreme

Screen is back on......fiddly bastard to attach because the rubber stoppers the bolt screws into kept dropping behind the brackets! But it's all done at last! Only took 3 hours and a lot of sweat! Ewen and Charley will be on the blower when they see this shit!

Done! If only there were mods here to take care of this shit!

And we've got the mobile bracket secured......

The mobile bar saga continues! The screen came off quite easily.......but then it was taking out the bolts on the bracket that's fitted on the bike! I'm sure you won't be surprised that I had to call the wife in! Lining the holes up on the mobile bar with the holes on the bracket was a nightmare......but eventually we got the damn thing on! Next stage......mounting the mobile holder on the bar!

Got to fit the mobile bar now......so screen will have to come off! It'll have a good wash when it does......I can handle that. The rest of the work is going to involve tools.....Allen Keys to be precise. Got to ask the wife if I can borrow hers! She don't like giving me tools, because apparently I never put them back where I found them.

Can't see me ever buying a Chinese bike! But do you know what engine is allegedly in that? Cos there was talk at one time of a partnership agreement between the two companies

Lot of bike for the money.....

I'm not complaining.....just stating that Honda still have no availability on certain models.

Fastest production bike of that era!

They show me the bike.....I'll show them the money! That's the way I do business!

If they could give a specific timescale that was reasonable then I would! But all I get is the inevitable "no se". Which I'm sure you hear a lot of as well.

I've always said that the GS750 was the best allround bike in the 70's!

No......I'm interested in buying one! But they're unable to sell me one! Dealers are basically taking deposits for bikes that haven't even been built! Tubes on small trailies are fine......but not so sure on 100bhp bikes.

Yeh.....Steve Carell is brilliant in everything he's in!

Nice GS!

Got my mobile bar through from Amazon! It cost €17 and took around 2 weeks for the delivery. It's pretty solid actually.......and installing it seems to be be pretty simple because it matches up to the holes on the bracket supporting the screen. Maybe even I can do it?

Stop complicating your life........just get a Honda or a Yamaha! It won't impress your Harley mates obviously.......but you won't be the one breaking down and spending $1200 or more to get back on the road.

Good trip then Marcel? Well.....besides the breakdown of course!

They can't give a specific date......the only certainty is that it will be longer than 3 months. Well how much longer? 6 months? A year? That's no way to do business!

Everybody's flounced again then?
