i dont even wear ear plugs, let alone listen to music, as i dont feel connected to what's going on around me otherwise if that makes sense.

got there in the end Struan...didn't know about this massive event...I live in Lincolnshire...looks great fun!

I have one of these. It's a 1979 XS850 which was converted into a trike some time ago. I am refurbing it over the winter and looking forward to riding it in Spring 2025.

Nice video❤❤❤

words are hard ;) , the ducati sounds so great!!

Seek and destroooooy 🤘

With the amount of people there, that had cameras, I'm surprised there are so few images online.

Great to see you buddy... take care and same again next year

Oooooooh I am soooo going next year!!!

That was cool! Looks like you had a blast!

Dude it looks like a total laugh! I fancy sticking knobbies on my XS250 and joining in next year 💪🏼

Been watching your channel for a while now, Really enjoy your way of working as i feel it's similar to mine. Especially getting more projects when one isn't finished :). Just a heads up that i'm working my way through the XS750 Quick Build and this video wasn't in the playlist!

Good luck and have fun 👍

Hey dude, Rich (fae Aiberdein Cafe Bike Scene) here... next time you get a stuck piston like that again just use your compressor to blow it out. Also I'm back working in the garage, hit me up if you get stuck with anything else. Have a fun trip.

Mmmm 😋’delicious piss’ 😅😂

It would make sense to me that, to far in on the mixture screw and you’ll be reducing flow (running rich) and vice versa to far out increases flow (to lean). The sweet spot of between 1.5 - 2 turns out means you need a smaller idle jet. Confirmed by you’re wide band O2. A good write up I read said to back off the idle screw completely and leave choke off. You don’t rev to tune the idle. back the mixture screw out till it runs poorly then turn it back in till it runs well, if less than 1.5 turns out you need a smaller idle jet - more than 2 then you need to go bigger. Once this is correct you can set idle screw where you want. When you rev the engine and it goes lean followed by rich again, this is likely where your main jet opens. Once you have idle correct you’ll need to check the main jet. FYI the write up I’m referring to was for a Weber carb I fit to my old datson and is also from memory so confirm your own tuning requirements for your specific carb. Did you check decompression lever function? Might be compounding some of your run issues.

Man I feel your pain! Tuning carbs can be a lot of tail-chasing. Good update though and it's always fun to revisit old projects and improve your work. Now... I'm away to buy some Shoff.

Would you be interested in a lower seat for the XT? My dad Ronnie Corbett has 1 spare. LOL. Great video Buddy.

Your still a top bloke, and most people are shorter than my 6'5" love your videos and the metal music backing ❤

Hi.Sir Could you show me know how to remove starter motor Yamaha special XS850 1980 please? Thanks Peter

This has helped a lot with the answers I needed for a replacement ignition system on my xs850 so many thanks.👍

I'll keep an eye out for you and Shoogly on the Friday, apologies in advance if I've had too much beer!

Have a good Bike Shed with Shoogly dude, will try and make next year 😎

Fit like min, not going to the show but went last year and it was brill. Say hello to Graham from Steelworx, he's frantically working on a build for the show. I know he follows shoogly. All the best

How you doing mate, unfortunately I’m a no go for the Bine Shed show this year. Managed to score a ticket to the cup final so it’s off to Hampden I go. Hope you lads have a good one and I look forward to next year when you have a panther/phoenix double entry!! Cheers

Nice project. I am presently building a Yamaha XS 850 cafe racer. The Triumph carbs are a good swap, I am working on the jetting at the moment. They run lean as the Triumph 900 is water cooled and the Yamaha triple needs more fuel as it’s air cooled and runs hotter l guess. Anyway I tried mains at 150 and pilots at 48 but this is too rich ( probably good for a 900 big bore kit) so I shall re-jet 130 mains and 43 pilots. I thought this info might be of interest to you. Keep up the good work.

Dances with chickens😂

back to classic Remotorcycled vids, love it!

i am hoping to give certakote a try at some point. some years ago i painted by zxr750's panels and was quite happy with it...left it quite a few days and then stored it in bubble wrap...which left the bastard impression of the bubble on the panels.

dishwasher? large parts washer perhaps?

Struan you're alive dude!! i am way behind on this good news. great to see you back. house looks stunning...i have kinda been there before and it's a journey through hell...but you have done it now. 911 my dream car too...996 gen going to appreciate...bores, IMS, RMS etc all checked out? is this the 3.4? lots of good content to come i am sure. bet there's a sound deadened room in the house somewhere! cheers.

Well that was an emotional rollercoaster!! Chicken danger, serious assault by a brake handle, the new hope of a whiteboard, the deconstruction of an engine and very near closure of the side panel saga!! I need a lie down! Good video & I think I scent momentum?? Cheers mate

So good to see the progress dude - you look like you've found the groove again 💪🏼🔧

Sleepy gary

'promosm'

I know it’s a bit much to ask but you you send me a list of the products

Good stuff mate - it’s always better to seek forgiveness rather than permission!!!

Hahaha I know, I’m just thankful I’m alive to tell the tale

Have a look at the yamaha flat track frames. Brace above the swinging arm mounts.

The one thing that would've made this video better is maybe a camera set up on the door to catch your girlfriends expression when she comes home and catches a wiff of her beautiful remodeled clean house.

Excellent content man, my dad has a custom motorbike paint shop out the back of Ellon (Aberdeenshire) ace to see someone local to me also into customising older bikes. Give me shout if u want my old man’s details.

Great to have you back. Regarding the bottom end rebuild, i think i would do it, be a bitch to complete the build and find out there's problems with the motor. Later man👍

Great update dude - i can relate 100% cause i too am surrounded by a melee of bike parts that need work and coatings! You didn't mention brakes did you? What's the plan??

Nice rant, we are all on the same page now.

Love your content and never miss a video from you brother! Glad to see a video from u. I know you’re always busy working but we are here to support you 100 percent! See u on the next one! ARCO MN OUTLAW CUSTOMS (outlaw edge TH-cam channel)

Ya dancer - I’m on a half day & new video!! Kismet mate.

frame already modded remove the lock

Can someone post the english translation?

Dammit Rufus! I had a similar thing happen this summer, working on a car with the dog in the yard when I realized I hadn't heard him in a while. Went looking for him and found him in the neighbour's yard, and I found out I had to fix the fence 🙄. That road's got to be a bit of a worry, luckily Rufus seems to keep you guys in close proximity.
