Tinware rattles.

I took the air cowling off because there was a bit of a rattle. It turns out there were a number of bolts missing!

On top of that this bit had broken off!

I had another set ready to go and a complete set of bolts.

The colour might not be to everyone's taste, but it does make it very easy to spot oil leaks!

I had a massive oil leak from the rocker cover gasket last weekend. I had replaced a worn leaking one with a new old stock one. I think it must have been a new very very old stock gasket! It lasted less the 3 miles before it split. Within a 15 minute drive I'd deposited about 2 litres of oil along some country lanes. I've now replaced it with a Cork one and 25 miles later no leaks.
Fingers crossed!

Good to see you in touch with your feminine side, Mike - we'll find you reading the instruction book next !!

I take offence to that.
I don't use instructions!
