Likewise I’d be interested to see what you’ve got tucked away Si !
An IKEA moment – I’m sure we’ve all had one….. you’re at a loose end with spare time to kill, and whilst you don’t “actually” needing anything you find yourself being dragged around IKEA…. Before you know it you’re checking out with a load of items you had no idea you needed!
Well substitute IKEA for Jauce / Yahoo Japan and I’m sure you can kinda guess where I’m going with this
Found an original 1980’s MC18 “New old stock key” which compliments the original one I’ve already got (nothing wrong with the old one but now I have a period spare one)
Sweet find was new screen decals specifically for the MC18 – never seen them before, MC21 and MC28 being ten a penny but MC18’s alway alluded me until now.
Also dropped a few Yen on a helmet holder wire as I’ve never had one on mine – however without the special fitting circled its useless (pic shamelessly stolen from Chris’s built thread)
This model of the R4J is incredibly detailed even has a tiny oil tank inside the fairing, having bought it I don’t know what I’m going to do with it, just seemed like a good idea at the time
What I should have been doing instead of surfing the web is changing the engine oil sooner - the lump has done just shy of 6,500km since the rebuild and stunned me at how dirty the oil was 😬
Think I’ll do the next change a bit earlier … or is this colour normal? It’s more of a very dark bronze in colour
^^ the old stuff has now been added to ½ a can of timber preserver and at the weekend will be painted on the shed
