I've just broken my keyboard! Dropped my cordless keyboard & the space bar fell out -just had to spend 5 minutes sticking it back together!
Nice zorsts Byz, a bit fuzzy, but nice.

Yeah, all the in-focus ones have sunk to the bottom of the screen.  Solid, but we're running rigid back ends -no bouncy bits so we don't need to allow for suspension travel. When I did the green one I cut the prop deliberately 5mm short then made up an ally shim to the correct thickness to make sure I got it spot on. |

Cheers for that.
My diff is rigidly mounted so theres no prob there. Just the wishbones move.
I just wondered if the movement of the engine on it's mounts put any extra stress on a solid prop. I have been pondering it just based on the torsional movement when accelerating hard.

We don't use rubber mounts. Ours are totally rigid trikes! No problems so far. Hard acceleration? We're using Reliants!

Still Pondering  the rubber mount issue. Also pondered what wheel to use with the wide glide frontend Decided to use the 750 honda back wheel and have made a spindle today that matches the sportster frontend to the wheel. Looks good me thinks. Feel free to pm me anytime.

You've got your own lathe & the skills to use it? I hate you! Deeply jealous. I've got a Reg. Reg lives in a shed at the bottom of his garden, endlessly making spacers & spindles & God knows what else. Very useful but I hate having to keep bothering him, plus he has trouble getting hold of materials. Would be great to just produce your own parts as & when you need them.

Cheapskate! I've got about half a dozen of the black Ts with the red/cream/brown logo in Large only, but they're quite generously cut. General consensus seems to be that black with a white outline print would be better. Also would be cheaper & means we can use the same screen as the black outline/cream shirts. basically the T shirt guy can do any combination of shirt colour & print colour but it's a pain to keep swapping about so I'm trying to keep things simple. They were a tenner each so same price as the single colours, (6 quid), to get rid of 'em. The mugs are 3.50 each. The old design is the same as the new, improved one, just a slightly darker shade of red cos they came from a different supplier. 2.50 to you squire. Not really sorted the postage rates out yet, (yes, I know I'm a Postie but we deliver, we don't deal with sending stuff!), so just bung a couple of quid on top for the jiffy bag & postage please. |

Great. I spoke to Yoda earlier -I interrupted him on a killing spree in his computer game! I'll draw up a list of all the stuff that needs posting on the site & he'll do the lot in one hit, so if you can get it in reasonably soon we'll get it sorted.
A cheque will be fine. PM me your address & your order & I'll send you my address in return. The Merchandise page will be sorted soon, honest!
