Title: Hello All
Post by: CraigL on Monday, 27 February 2017, 07:00 AM
Evening all  :)
Been lurking in the background but thought it was time to introduce myself and the 1400. This is my second 1400, the first didn't fair to well after an accident (3 years ago)

Although she doesn't look quite as well at the moment due to a broken and poorly repaired down pipe bolt which resulted in me removing the engine, stripping the bike and getting the frame powdercoated.

I'm betting he's from the little rock off the east coast of Ireland - (not Isle of Man either)

Hi Froudy.
I ended up going down the same route, picked frame and few bits up from the powder coaters at the weekend.
The engine is a right lump and definitely a two man lift off the floor  :grin:

The top pic is before and the bottom one is after engine removal. There was a poorly done job at repairing a snapped header bolt and i was far easier to remove the lump of an engine and repair it properly whilst on the bench, I ended up fitting time serts to all 8 bolt holes.
Its amazing how little space the bike takes up when completely stipped  :lol:
