Weather forecast for Devon:
A "chilli wind" will develop mid evening, getting worse as the night goes on...
Thank gawd I'm not coming down there then, and having to share a chalet with YOU - if yer gonna be eating ALL that chilli, I feel sorry for those chaps who are now going to have to sleep with the windows wide open.
Amongst yer list of things to bring to Devon, you better add: "take a kite", cos you'll be able to fly it indoors after scoffing all that. Oh yeah, and about 10 pairs of underwear for the follow throughs

Up early to get on with getting the wheels off and bearings & tyres removed to take along to local powdercoaters - thankfully tyre shop and powdercoaters all within a two mile radius.
Taken off rear rusty subframe

and lined up the preprepared refurbished one. Taken lots of pics so I can snake everything back as per original.

Wicky, not before time by the looks of the old one
Nice job with the new one

Did you spray paint it yourself or have it powder coated

For the final finish I used POR15 Aluminium spray paint.

Ho that would have been good Watty. I left Middlesborough about 7 last night and drove up to Edinburgh, almost straight to bed in the 9 star Premier Inn. Just got up to go to work then flying home!
Weather id not bad here but amazing in Devon and Home. Have a great ride out today Guys.

Just picked up my freshly serviced wp shock from FTR, now just need to find the time to fit it, then pull the forks out to get them serviced. Where will it end!

Replaced the rear wheels bearings and carrier bearing. The bike now goes round corners properly!
