Back online
Hello peeps. I wasn't around here for a while and when I returned my old profile was broken and couldn't be fixed. But Stuart got me up and running (thanks mate) with this shiny new one so I'm back on the cyber road.
Haven't used the Monster much these last few years. Lynn (my wife) has been ill again. Her breast cancer came back as brain mets in early '08 and it was touch and go (again) for a while. But she's made of strong stuff and has defied the odds (officially terminal this time) and she's made another remarkable recovery. During our down time I got on with the Commando rebuild, and pushed on with the music. As Lynn's strength recovered she joined in on bass and we can now make quite an alarming racket ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Commando only needs brakes to finish it. I've put a nice set of rearsets on it and I need to make the rear brake rod operated. The front end now has a nice pair of 12" floating discs and I intend using a pair of 4 pot Brembos that came off a Duke 916, so hopefully it'll stop as well as go. Haven't run up the engine yet but it should go well after all the money and time lavished upon it. The M900 is still good. I recently got the lovely Carl Harrison to fit a pair of Pirelli Diablos and it feels ![]() All the best Henry (the **** artist once also known here as Unpronounceable Henry) |

Hello Henry! How nice to hear from you again. Please pass my best regards onto Lynn and to your son as well. I'm liking the hooligan car very much - how much fun is it?
Take care x

Thanks Nickj, but mine's a modern (Chrysler) coil sprung Jeep. I'd rather be changing the rad on an older Jeep though. My rad looks like it was installed before the steering gear and, as is the way with most modern cars (and bikes), I'm having to dismantle half the machine in order to get at it. Your spring might good fetch money on eBay though.
Cheers Henry |
