380 miles is way to much, 180-200 is more like it.

I'm still a strong 'maybe' for this, it depends on the kids are going to the Isle of man for a few days in Aug, they are supposed to be going to visit the in-laws which will release me from my parental duties for the Scotland trip, but until their travel is book it's not 100% going to happen. So if ...

Well after 10 days of been messed about by an ebay seller the 26mm socket is finally here, I think I should have just gone down to Halfords in the first place. Anyway the missing socket as turned up so I've now got the swing arm out and checked the bearing, the ball bearing one is in excellent condi...

I hope so, although close inspection may reveal some less than perfect paint but it's not a proffessional job I've painted in on the drive that said I'm happy with it so far.

You have been a busy bee, that is looking really good Budd 8) Nice work :clap: I'm looking forward to seeing it altogether :D It'll be interesting to hear if your clutch mod makes any noticeable difference, Chris.

Eating dodgy pizza is an in an inter...

Thanks for the nomination, my 'prilia thingy'will be up and running and out for the York's op storm ( hopefully)

Oops! Thanks for reminding me It's been left in the corner under cover Will have to finish this year as I need a lighter bike. The storm is starting to be a bit heavy I'm not sure the rear indicators look good in this position http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l76/sadFlatline/DucafeRacer/IMG_201708...
