Stuff on E Bay - early feb 2010 - WARNING not COMMANDER

[BANJOMAN]

Have had a look at a number of items on E Bay advertised for Commander. They are not all for Commanders if any. They must be for air cooled or classic or something like that. Luckily I checked my parts book!!

[Interpol2471]

You are quite right all of the parts listed are for ex MOD Interpol 2's as the items have come from MOD clearance. None of the parts are suitable for Commanders.

Agreed ; note that descriptions of the IP2 handlebar switches should be opposite 'hands' - the R/H switch is actually a L/H and vice versa; also the DIP/MAIN button is missing/broken.With extended wires, the ignition trigger will also suit Commander and F1 / F1 SportR

[Interpol2471]

Can you believe it, some one has been bidding against me on eBay for the IP2 items. Whatever next

[Interpol2471]

And they obviously had more money than me too.... I hate beiong poor

[Richard Negus]

Paul,And there was me thinking thinking it was a double bluff and you were liquidating some of your enormous stock of IP2 parts. R.

[Steve Gee]

I had every intention of diving in at the last minute, and out-bidding the lot of you ! but was so busy in the kitchen I forgot , damn ! same thing happened last year when those new brake discs came up, must remember to bid earlier next time.

[Interpol2471]

Fraid not Richard and I really needed a couple of those parts to keep the old girl turning, I was gutted I did not win the Ignition box and the handlebar controls. I just hope these parts did not go into someones 'well I may need them one day' stock when I needed them to keep my bike on the road Sulk Sulk Best get my begging tin out now lol especially after the company I work for had a shut down week in the new year to try and save money and now we are told no pay rises this year too probably So maybe Richard you will be right soon as I flood the market with cheap IP2 spares lol

[Richard Negus]

I was gutted I did not win the Ignition box and the handlebar controls.

Even at £51, the ignition unit was a bargain, if it works, and the r/h switch (with rotary kill switch) is unavailable now from Yamaha - which creates a problem for the rebuilders of old 'classic' Yamahas. The ANIL stock of these (both l/h and r/h) will in Hungerford very soon.R.ps it wasn't me - honest

[Interpol2471]

ANIL stock whats that or am I being dim again Yes you were right the winning bids were a bargain just I wanted them for 10p

[Interpol2471]

well lets see what happens later

[Richard Negus]

ANIL stock whats that or am I being dim again

Andover Norton International Ltd. Stay awake at the back there !!R.

[Interpol2471]

Oh and there was me thinking it was something clever about secret stock Well who ever is n***a on eBay I officailly give in lol I will have to go and beg at ANIL when it all ends up down here lolMind you Richard I started her up today ready for this years treks and all appears loverly at present Thats after smoking out the street with Comp 2 lolMind you the brakes apear a bit spongey so I guess they will need a quick bleed.

[Interpol2471]

ps it wasn't me - honest

Richard you lie like cheap Japanese watch lol

[Richard Negus]

Mind you the brakes apear a bit spongey so I guess they will need a quick bleed.

If the pads are old / original, check that corrosion isn't causing the friction material to delaminate from the backing plates.Could be a nasty surprise one day.R.

[Interpol2471]

If I remember correctly you sold them too me a couple of years ago, you trying to tell me something lol

[Richard Negus]

If I remember correctly you sold them too me a couple of years ago,

I can remember 30 years ago, and yesterday, but two years ago ?? Not a chance!On a more serious note, I have seen more than one IP2 at Rugeley for a 'restoration' where the original Brembo brake pad material (with a high metallic content) has corroded so badly that it is no longer attached to the backplate. Presumably something to do with road salt ?R.
