Hello Carl

I'm on with the suspension job - although I have bought an abba I actually used ratchet straps around garage rafters.

So all the back end is off and I'll post the horror pics later. The usual single needle bearing in the dog bone s seized but yet worst ones are in the triangular linkage - completely corroded out, no needles left just rust !!!!!!

Was pretty tough getting some bolts out but the trusty butane burner came in handy - although I managed to set fire to my wooly hat on fire with the mini blow lamp I use to light the torch - really should switch it off !!!!

So just awaiting all the bits now - lancashire seals are no longer really supplying bearings with the guy saying there would be delays - although you can go ahead and order them on his website!!!

I am doing so much to this bike but loving it !!!!

Yes but if you switched it of we all couldn't have a good laugh.

It's an important job to get out the way those linkages.

Always pleased to give a laugh.......

I'll post a pic of the hat later - very sadly it was my very old Castrol Honda one !!!!!
