Currently mid build on one, but I had a Mankey Monkey Reliant before.

Not heard of sarcasm? Of course any defect should be pointed out!

Re: Winter project
Hi all, just a quick update on the XJ. Shortened the drive shaft & fitted it with no problems. Made up the rear brake lines in copper with a stainless braided line from the master cylinder to the three way splitter to give the small amount of movement needed. I changed the original bike master cylinder from 1/2 inch to 11/16 to give it a bit more oomph. Bled the brakes this morning with no probs & really pleased with the way they're working, loads of stopping power surprisingly & should get even better when everything's bedded in. Next job is fitting the handbrake & it's gubbins & then onto the silencers & bugger me! it's finished bar the shouting.
I'll post some more pics when the next job's finished, so ta ta for now. Bob

Re: Winter project
Hi all, well the divvy's pretty much finished now, just a few little odds & sods to sort & then it's on to the paperwork, MOT, weight cert etc., then it'll be up for sale. It's been fun but now it's time to say ta ta! I took a few pics of it this morning while the sun's shining. Take it easy guys. Bob.

Re: Winter project
Hi all, well the XJ's finished now & passed its MOT on Friday, Hurrah!! No problems or advisories & managed to get it weighed at the same time at the recycling centre next door. So it's now onto the paperwork & when that's done it'll be up for sale. Also while i was waiting at the MOT station, got talking to a guy that's got two trikes that have been sitting in his garage for a few years, one's a Reliant engined thing t'other's an XS750 yam. Both properly registered on V5's as trikes. He wants to out both of them so i'm going over next weekend to have a look. I'll let you know how i get on. Take it easy all! Bob.
