Spent the day in the MacCave in a whirl of spanners & a splurch of a syringe. Took the Hel lines off Drooper & refitted the original lines F & R brakes & clutch all fitted & bled. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Whipped off the silly mudguard thing, which was put back on as it no longer has a hugger but was rubbing on the tyre where it had become misshapen. Bit of heat from a heat gun, clamped it up in the vice left it to cool down, refitted bout an hour later...doesn't rub any more... :thumbup:

Did a few other bits & pieces called it a day a successful one at that.

No if anything they might be slightly shorter. Main change is the link pipes don't taper, so they smaller diameter

So much for packing my tools away !!

While on a ride yesterday to fish hill ck's forks sprung a leak!
So he left the bike at mine and I dropped him home .
So today while I'm waiting for tools (thanks Kev l) and parts I started stripping it down after I tidied you the garage to make room for 4 bikes .

On one fork the lower Allen bolt is just turning and not coming undone so tomorrow I'll take it to Alex to get the impact gun on it and hopefully it will come out so I can get the other cartridge out the fork and crack on rebuilding them .
And while taking the forks off it I noticed the head stock bearing are very notchy !

So I have that to do too when the parts arrive .
And then I checked the front wheel bearings and they are shot too :-( !
So it looks like I've got my hands full getting ck's bike ready for the weekend runs .
