Once again failing to adhere to forum rules... NO bins in shot...

However Fabio is once again reinventing the rules...

Nice brace Sir... Last seen on Antiques Roadshow...WTF is that ancient tool doing on your bench ?

Do you find the more rearward weight distribution changes the handling?.

@mac :lol: :lol: that we hand drill iv had for must be going on 40 years, god knows why i keep it, its moved house 4 times with me :lol: :lol:

anyhow. something just wasnt right, you know how you feel somethings just not so 8O . i slackened of the fork pinch bolts and the r/h fork leg sprung out a good 5mm :lol: . wheel sorted and alls good at the front,

and the popping while sitting at tickover was kinda getting to me. carb balanced, fuel screws wound out and it still done it. :eek2 while i was sitting considering life and matches :lol: i looked in and seen the front vac pipe wasnt just as it should be,pulled it of, replaced the pipe, bingo,

its now going brilliant, turns out a good setup has left me with a good strong motor, its now the bike i believed it should have been :thumbup: :thumbup:
the older i get,the faster i was :lol:

Cheers Rob, that was very good service indeed :thumbup:

Chris.

PS. Don't take too much notice of Mac and the hand brace. I have one and it still comes in handy occasionally, but then I am a Joiner :lol:
