Whats with posting on flickr and not here in your thread?

[bakirkwold]

How do i post to the thread?

[GateKeeper]

you should use photobucket

but flicker can work like this




right click on your pictures on your flicker account and select copy image location

then when your here creating a post, click on the little icon the looks like a letter with a postage stamp on it, the 7th from the left, a box will pop up asking for the url, paste the image location you just copied and click OK



and submit post as you normally do

OR

in your flicker account, click on your picture, at the top of the picture and a bit to the right, you will see "SHARE" click on that, it will give you the url to your picture, copy that url, and using the above instructions it will work the same way

the other way is you will see more of your pics at once and you can right click on any one of them, instead of working with just one pic at a time

Oi, where are the updates, enquiring minds want to know?

[bakirkwold]

Ahhhh sorry guys I haven't been updating here. I did switch to photobucket http://s1116.photobucket.com/albums/...20L%20project/

I did get the valve cover off and a polished the cam cap/breather.


I also got some side covers off a T model. I am adapting them to work.


One more thing. I am starting to think about paint I did start a thread in the appearance section about it. I want your opinions guys.

That breather cover looks good!

Also, I just noticed your intake boots look nice and black too, are they new? They look it...

[bakirkwold]

Thanks! They aren't new, well not that I know of. I just washed them.

Cool, give 'em a good squeeze before using them.

If they're quite rubbery and supple you should be good to go as long as you replace the O rings under them, otherwise new ones are reasonably cheap ($25 each from Boulevard I think).

[bakirkwold]

Is that stripe from the factory?

[pete]

Mate she's looking clean, nice!

I don't recall having a stripe like that on mine but that doesn't necessarily mean anything...

Have you got those side covers mounted properly now? If so well done!

Christmas morning here, so Merry Christmas
