That's fantastic news, matblack. I can't wait to see some pictures.
I have no idea what the little switch does though :scratch:

Nice one - good price too!

Let us know how you get on with it :)

[bobob]

Well done matblack, you won't be disapointed with the 900 and thats a bleedin marvelous price :mand:

I think the tap thing you are on about is the carb heater for cold days?? me thinks....

[Zimbo]

Nice one, that's a great price! You'll love the outright grunt of the 900!

[Pugi]

Great news! Well done. I reckon everyone's sorted now then?
Go on...show us the pics.

[bobob]

Can I start looking for a new one now???? :mand:

[matblack]

[matblack]

not putting it on road yet ,gonna strip it,sort bits n bats out and get tank powdercoated in......YELLOW:mand: and the mg ,sc,f,bp done to:mand: ,not made mind up about wheels yet,anyways, as i wont be riding it,can anyone recomend insurance that covers it,just stood in garage, not on the road?

[Zimbo]

noooooooooooo keep it red, they're faster!

Just a thought, I don't remember seeing a 900 in yellow, did they sell them in yellow?

[Pugi]

Can I start looking for a new one now????

You certainly can!
Many members have many bikes, all sorts of different kinds. But I think CK & AK take the cake when it comes to monstering. I fail to remember the exact number (it varies too) but i think they have four (4) monsters in the garage. :flag:

Uh oh...someone's allready figured out how it's done.
Ebikesure seem very popular at the moment. Cheap quotes and all sorts of mods allowed, but I think they yet haven't been tested 'properly' with a claim...

Yes the little switch thing is for diverting the oil so that it heats the carbs.

[matblack]

Have you got a sprayer sorted out yet? If not then try Bladerunner or better still, PM his wife, Red, as he doesn't go on the site much. Very good sprayer from the jobs I've seen. :mand:
