I have to admit that it's getting a bit cramped in the MacCave now...

Tomorrow I will pull a few bits off it, de-sticker it & give it a good going over.

I have a set of F4i callipers to go on, change the exhausts, see if I can do anything with the sloppy action on the rearsets.

In time the swingarm will get pulled & lubbed up, fit Manual CCT's, drop the forks out & treat to new oil

Paint the fork lowers.

I might flat bar this one...hmmm ?

So many things to do so little time...

Oh & so far your name sugestions have mainly been crap...

Geez Mac it's looking like a motorcycle workshop in there. Are you going through some kine of mid life crisis

call it the black plague.........
because black bikes matter!

have you got anything thats reasonable for £1300 ? i could rag that for 50 miles then come home and ride the CBF for the comfort bit. I actually don't mind what colour!. either that or i may get a CCM RC30.

Hahaha...Not at the moment, if the council pull their bloody fingers out & sort new vans out then Custard will be retiring from comuting dutites & will be up for sale, priced to go. After I've offerd it to Marty for £2000 that is...

Sloppy rearset should be easy, just buy new rod end rose joints, they are easy to get in line. Remember one is lh thread and one is rh thread.

I need to investigate...they may just need tightening up...The brake side is wayyyyy out of adjustment I cant get to the pedal without taking me foot off the peg...


I'm off to get the tools out shortly...

you can offer it to me for what ever you like,....

Mac, the Danmoto rear sets are a matched copy of the Gilles, so it will have the same components just a lower quality, should be the same solution

Really That's handy to know. I wonder why some guys have had fitting problems with them then. I like the Gilles so much better than the Harris and they have a very smooth action.
