It deppends on the wind as alot I pay none or very little. But have noticed that electrical motorcycle parts the sting you about 30%. As long as I receive it I am happy,

Plugs and leads not a lot of money, worth getting a decent set, go into a car tuning place that the Thai kids go for there car go faster goodies and get them to make you a set up.

Rigger, I would swap out the ignition leads for known good ones, they can cause the missing and hesitation in the mid range when the motor is under load.

Does anyone know what this pet cock came off ?

**Eliminator** · 09-06-2009, 07:21 PM

Don't know Rigger but I hear good words on the Pingle petcock, supposed to do a great job but you have to shut it off whenever you stop. I have a vacuum system for fuel on the Eliminatorl and the Pingle is a great replacement from what I've heard. I'm trying to stick with stock though.

fuck me, that thing looks as old as BG,

where did you get it?

Yeh it looks pretty old and I am scared it will fuk up one day on the road, I have no idea what it came off. But the cnut welded a fitting over the standard HD 22mm thread, I want to order a new one but not sure of the thread. I think it was 16 or 14 mm thread.

I just order a brand new helmet still in the box made in 1970 open face but has had the inside re fitted,

**Bung** · 10-06-2009, 09:56 AM

Hope it's not a Davida, I bpught one here in TH second hand after wanting one for years. Size large, ok 58-60 cm, ok should fit. Well fok me it is too tight even for the mrs! fits my 8 yo boy...just. Unreal, what person would a small fit? B700 down the drain...Teach me for buying a lid without trying then.

At least my new Bell Moto 8 fits like a glove.

No I just strap it to my bike

**Travelmate** · 10-06-2009, 03:15 PM

^ Just asking. As it is a very old helmet.

**Rigger** · 10-06-2009, 04:02 PM

Had a read up on the net and it seems they recommend you change out your helmet every 5 years, due to the foam padding loosing it ability to cushion in the event of a accident and the effects of UV light on the polycarbonate. Seeing as it has been in storage and has new lining I think it should be OK

Even though the seller states many times that it isn't up to current safety standards?

Just as well it hasn't got much to protect...

Nearly all helmets sold in Thailand dont meet most countries safety standards

Mine does, that's why I bought it.

Even so it,s still a correct statement

**Marmite the Dog** · 10-06-2009, 08:15 PM

^ I never said that, even if it is true.

**Bung** · 10-06-2009, 08:29 PM

I should say that that helmet I wasted money on was B7000 not 700. Some ornament.

Thats ok, The bike and the rider dont come up to current safety standards

**nedwalk** · 11-06-2009, 08:41 AM

would love to bring my nolan over, just a pain in the arse to travel with, so i,ll just lug me peanut lid

**Bung** · 11-06-2009, 08:56 AM

I'm off to Aus and will bring back my Shoei full face. Been in storage for ten years but still is (was?) a good lid. Would like to get it painted though, possible here? It's fibreglass.
