Not the trip but the actual miles

hi all,
well, i picked up the plastics today, and i"m not happy with the result, its not up to the standard i wanted, some of its ok, but overall, not as good as i would have liked, i guess 6 out of 10, so i dont know what i want to do now, may have to get some bit redone by someone else, more money, the guy did a good job on my car a few years back, thats why i chose him, guess he"s no good with bike bits,

hi all,
well after having a good look and check all the bits over properly, it seem he"s only blown it over once or so and their doen"nt appear to be any primer, and it patchy and miss bits etc, so i"m not happy, so will be going back to try and get my money back..
so this has set me back now, until i find another painter, decent one, if anybody knows of any good one around the southampton area, or a little father afield, i dont mind travelling a little way, if they are good..

Not the trip but the actual miles

You want to 'clock' the bike?

Why?

You'll have to strip the speedo completely and realign the drums, then TRY and get it back together.

The photo shows a brand new speedo, unused, no miles

[gordon]

hi

This is near enough a new bike mine is never registered and i have 3 speedos in multiple states of completion

hi all,
well after all that hassel with the painter, i have now put the plastics and tank into the hands of anothewr painter, a good one this time, i hope, i have checked him out and his stuff is good, so hopefully all will go well now, should see my bits back in 3-4 weeks, along time i know, so then i can get on with finishing the bike

Did the other guy refund you Andy?

[gordon]

hi bunker,
yes i got most of my money back, he moaned about paint cost, i told him i pay for the paint, not sure why i did, but he gave me the rest back, so at lease i got some to put toward the next paint job..i"m conferdent it go well this time, the guy doing it does bikes only and is good with plastics, i had a look at some of his work and it looks good, guess i find out in a few weeks time..

Hi all,
should be getting the plastic"s back very soon now, also manage a bag a genuine ccm end-can, it"s says not for road used on it soon rub that off, well please with it, seeing it only cost me 40 qiud and its as good as new, just need to sort the link pipe and hanger out for it, so looking good, should be able to make some real progress soon
