Nice.....
Take the bike out for a bit of a thrashing to the redline and see if everything is still tickety-boo....

Freshly baked bread mate - not toast. Get a fire going in the corner too and maybe one of them old english sheepdog lads asleep in front of it, you know, get a good homely atmos goin :D Get some stainless steel hob cleaner stuff (it's pretty acidic so watch yer paws) and a SOFT (so you don't leave b...

Yeah Ben, that's the idea alright. You can't just start forcing in extra air into the cylinders and hope for the best - the fuel/air mixture would need to be kept at roughly the same ratio, or improved to it's optimum value meaning all sorts of gadgets & jiggery pokery to measure air/fuel ratios...

Ta RQ! :wink: That's kind of what I was getting at in my previous post - if this is where it's failing most or at the other bent end that slots into the CCT housing, then it's pretty clear that the springs are treated prior to forming, rather than after, or that the forming process has simply weaken...

Got in touch with Euro Plates here in Dublin - they'll do the pair for €120. That's grand value altogether! Won't remove the tyres or disassemble the wheels though.... Now, where'd I leave me tyre irons...

FYI, for anyone around Dublin, Euro Plates are in Dunboyne (01-8251804)

:lol: ha bleedin ha! That's a good point though Bluesman, the location of failure of the spring is important.

Looks like that RGVAL fella can Essexbloke... check out the pics in the misc section of the gallery - there's a wheel there half polished, half painted.

Sorry for creating yet another post for this topic, but just thought of a different angle for this. It's pretty much common knowledge that failure of the spring leads to the CCT problems - does anyone know what grade steel the spring is made from, ie, chrome-vanadium, high carbon, etc?? The reason I...

Mucho Grassy-Arse lads... I'll get in touch with the local bike shop and see if they can do some powder coating then So I should be looking at €150 odd euro then.... at least I have a ball park figure. Thanks again!

Has anyone got wheels sprayed or powder-coated before?? Any ideas what's the best method, and what the damage would be to get it done professionally (as opposed to a DIY'er in the shed)?

Cheers.

I think that's for express shipment.... you'd hope so anyway.... Nice bike clobber all the same, look at that seat unit!

Ned Flanders, you so crayzee.
