Discussion was brought up on another thread (thanks Scotty & JD), that some people organise monthly work parties / work shops.

E.g. we could have a bit of group get together locally, can share tools, get tips, share knowledge and mod the bikes.
Or create a group / pool of skills and then focus a weekend or a day a month on a particular bike within the group and get the work done.

Radical but bloody great idea if you ask me (ps. the only skills I bring to the table are the 24 cans of beer)

 

Tried to get this off the ground B4, no one seemed interested in Syd, have most of the tools & would be happy to participate

Great idea, been to a few Goldwing workshops and there was much to learn. Havent got any ideas what make these big twins tick, but I want to learn.

I have a heap of tools and a little bit of knowledge, I would be in it for sure, miles away from you blokes though

Well we've got a good 4 sydneysiders from this forum already.
Then I have about another 8 Hd'er offsite that are into it.

Also have a mate that brings in good cheap knock-off gear from Thailand - for example he's got 30 of those LED lights kits - whole think supplied & fitted $80.00

Hey SG, can you elaborate on the LED light kits, any pics? or links?

hey Rod, no mate, but I've seen em' in the flesh plenty of times. Kind of little bar's of LEDS, bout' 1.5cm's x 8 cms.
Quite bright, look really good, I imagine you can break em up individually a bit more.

Fit em' where you want, we install little toggle swith under edge of seat, total install time about 40 mins.

OK so they are bling ? lights, read a thread on the US XL site about a bloke who fitted some very bright single LED's as auxliery day lights, they turned out pretty nice.

I dont know anything about bikes really but happy to hold one and if some brings the know how I supply the beer and the t bones

Got plenty of tools and a bit of know how but mainly on shovelheads so may differ a bit to you blokes but keen on the beers and chat while you blokes work on the shovel...
