I probably should have posted an explanatory link.
I was referring to the Kool-Aid Acid Tests organised by Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters in late 60s San Francisco where the aforementioned childrens' drink, laced with LSD, was freely available and the Grateful Dead were the house band. http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=i&sou...92205801959578 Dilution of battery acid is also important. And neutralisation with a weak alkali. (washing soda?) |

I can just picture Ibanezlynx diligently washing down his frame with Kool-Aid.
All that talk about the Dead Heads has got me thinking about a tie dyed bike cover though.. |

I didn't know about the merry pranksters and thought it was a reference to Jonestown!! So glad it wasn't

Haha very good! I was going to say give me some credit however I have just been a very silly TW*T!
Just tried to get the clutch nut off and snapped one of the spring posts.... Does anyone have a clutch basket/plate carrier left over?? |

Sorry to hear about your little accident Ibanezlynx.
Can you not just replace the post?. Do they press into, or bolt onto the drum? I've never fished mine out, but I can't think that they are made all in one piece. Have you priced up a new one from Moto Rapido with Club discount? Trouble with nearly all of the secondhand ones is that they are already cream crackered.. |

Yeh bit of a bummer.
They look like an crappy cast which has been post machined. I need to get the thing off and have a proper look. I might end up machining a new post and the carrier and bolt it from the back with loctite. I guess because it's a crappy cast it's brittle and weak, however I am annoyed I did what I did. Guess we learn from our mistakes. The clutch doesn't look to healthy so I'm going to have to get new plates to. Will have a measure first though! |

Update time...
Been pretty slow for a while as I am waiting for a mate to help me weld up an engine frame. I have however completely stripped the frame, wheels for powder coat and various other parts. Can anyone suggest a way in removing the sprocket rubber dampers from the rear wheel? Its being a right pain! |

Finally had some progress...
I haven't posted anything in a while as I have been getting stuck into the project. I have had the frame back from the powder coaters and I am pleased: I have started building the frame up and have slotted the front end in (which I have stripped, cleaned and put stainless fasteners where I can): I have also rebuilt the footrests of which the hangars were powder coated and I have stripped the top end of the motor..... |

How did your 2 engine mount bolts come out? Mine are stuck solid so I'd be interested to hear how yours were and what you did...

The bolt's were fine to come out. Once out I could see that they are pretty corroded and will probably try and source replacements.
Have you used penetrating oil? You could also try tightening and loosening it to encourage the threads to "break" and move? Is the engine hanging in the frame or is it supported underneath? |

Engine supported underneath, and yes tried penetrating oil. See my thread in this section.
