[ungeheuer]

while you're down at Brad's...ask about Rizoma fluid tanks to replace the urine canisters.

Wow looking pretty special Ungeheuer.  Hope I get to see it in the flesh one day.  You've done a good job.  Fluid tanks look great.

[ungeheuer]

Thanks Heather - I'm sure an in-the-flesh viewing can be arranged.... when you fit my mirrors I'll shout you a coffee...

I took Matty's advice and had my nuts done black.  But given the outrageously high torque loadings specified to tighten em......    anybody got any tips on how to do em up without damaging he anodising?  Tried masking tape and a thin cloth already ..... but thats another story

yer gas tap not the white  stuff that plumber use its yellow and made of nylon and used on gas fittings and hydrolic fittings wrap yours nuts with that and toque and peel off 

[heatherp]

sounds like teflon tape you're describing Bazz.

Hey, good idea   Although I thought that gasfittings used the pink teflon tape??  ...I got bucketloads of the white teflon....

no nylon tape its much stronger 

[mattyvas]

When I got my billet items I got the tool to fit it.
Doesn't leave it totally unmarked but it does better than a socket. 

[ungeheuer]

I used a speedymoto axle nut tool.... and it marked the STEEL nut spinning it off.....  so I dont like the chances for the ano aluminium nut coming out unscathed....

Nylon tape huh?  Thanks bazz20, I'll go get me some o' that.

[ungeheuer]

You need just one thing to finish that rear wheel.
Billet nuts either side, I got black and I think they'd look  on your wheels.

Took your advice Matty 

 

And the nylon tape tip worked a treat too, thanks bazz20 

[Spider]

that looks good....and keep the grey chain.....gold would be overboard!

[mattyvas]

Agreed keep it grey.
Your nuts look great!
