I used the chain cleaner I got of leevtr to clean the sprocket carrier .
I have it a good coat then left it for a minute then a quick rub with a paint brush and a spray off and I must say its shinier and cleaner than new :-)

Thanks for the offer Jamie. Thankfully I have a couple of spares myself. :thumbup:

My sprocket carrier needs more than a quick clean if I'm to do it. It's wants polishing up really and there is no point this time of year.

Stripped the WP shock spring off, ready to rub down, cleaned up the washers and support plate, Thanked Roger for sending the forks back so quick. Spraying the weekend??? can't ride as the holiday is coming up soon, so doing prep stuff.
missing the noise, not the vibes. However never say never!
