hi dusty I can only echo what the others are saying a very good and informative thread with clear and descriptive pictures my bike has been a slow burn being off the road for ten years now so I don't know how long the engine will last being idol that long so I can see me coming back to this at some stage cheers scooter

Hi Scoter You are welcome. Would be worth checking your crank seals if the engine has stood idle for 10 years - just to be on the safe side Dusty

Hi Yamark kindly made my kit up for me using plumbing fittings. He is away at the mo so I cant ask exactly what he used, but I've taken a close up of the gauge so you may be able to see what's involved; 20180425_191956 by David Miller, on Flickr Some guys put the gauge elsewhere but this works well for me. Hth Dusty

Hi Its a shraeder valve of some description. Im not sure where from but you just attach your bike pump to it as normal. Even the gauge came from the plunbers merchant !

Nice thread Dusty, always good to have a reference when doing one in the future, lots of pics always helps. Engine stand is a neat idea too +1 for that
