Started bike this A.M to see if alls well for a bimble tomorrow as the beast hasn't been run for a while and it's quite nippy early mornings so thought battery might be suffering. Leave running while kettle boils for a cuppa, and find that the kettle ain't the only thing letting off steam. Muchoplenty water/vapour escaping from around top of rad on Trophy. :-( Why why why *do* you need so many fixings around a fairing to remove it? Shirley there must be a quicker/as safe/easier method apart from Gaffer Tape to hold em on ? Tiny crack in top of rad alongside where top hose unit fits on..........Passed to a man wot can to repair. Give me a 80m tonne crane anyday, at least they aren't surrounded by covers and millions of fixings.

Sir should try a motorcycle with air or air/oil cooling.... far less problems. -- Cheers! Fr Jack B12S (The Red Mist), CB450DX (The Moped) FRJACKUKRM AT GMAIL DOT COM Red death, to set you free
There has to be a positive side to buying from the Suzuki parts bin. Apart from fewer speeding tickets of course.
When I removed the fairing on mine to do the shims, I stopped counting after 50, count 'em, *fifty* items. And they're all different - slot head, cross head, Torx. Unbelievable.

http://www.thunderin.co.uk/crane/ This is an 80 tonne crane I had to cut the driver from recently. It isn't "surrounded by covers and millions of fixings"...anymore. He was amazingly unbroken considering. -- Regards from Mike Barnard '96 Yamaha YZF1000 Thunderace in red, white and grime. Worthing, West Sussex. UK.
