Taking the handle bars off a tuk tuk.
But first i had to fix nikis puncture.
tyre off the rim because he drove it here like that.
screwed! also the gearbox seal was leaking because a plastic bag got caught up in the chain and wrapped around the shaft, then melted through friction and worked its way into the seal. just took the plastic out it seems ok, not a problem if it isn’t because the it can be replaced with out splitting the cases.
Over to sarges and the tuk tuk is covered in fags. great.
Friction steering damper :) that’s not staying.
Took nearly an hour to do this, to get the cables out the inner had to come out first then the outer had to be pulled the other way, not an easy to work with design but very repairable. The electrics! built like home plugs you have to undo little brass screws and pull out the wires, madness, again great for easy fixing but pain in ass if you can’t remember where which wire went . I just chopped then all off this bike is either getting dash switches or a completely new set of handle bar off a normal moped, this means I’d have to sort a foot gear change and handle bars that had cable brakes. I’ll be able to adjust the brake level up and down then and it’ll be a million times less complicated and lighter,and proper dog leg levers. On the other hand the standard bar setup does work and its all aluminium which mean i  could polish it up..
