Its a Puig and it does look huge in that pic for some reason but it looks like it will work well for me as I am 6'3"

I have a puig and it does a bloody good job! Not quite 6'3 but I ain't far off

Best of luck with the surgery and recovery

If you're 6'3", then I'm bloody shrinking...

Mike, fingers crossed

Nothing at all....feels weird. I know the exhausts have to come off and be cleaned, the forks are going off tomorrow, my bodywork is at the sprayers, my calipers are with Jonesy, the wheels need cleaning/degreasing and the tapes doing, but it's cold and my knuckles are sore from smacking them doing the steering head when the c-spanner slipped. There's two frozen bolts in the swingarm/footrest, a stripped screw in the airbox, fookin depressing....so I'm taking the evenings off this week, sod it.

What make is that double bubble screen it looks like it should do a good job of getting the wind above your helmet.

Mike, thanks for the info on that

Wishing you all the very best for the 17th of next month,

Chris.

Welded up a small frame that takes an axle so we can spin the front wheel off the bike and clamp something to reference disk bend. Tried my sets of storm discs and found each set had the opposite side bent, so by mixing sets we have a complete set that while not perfect are certainly good enough to go through mot. so mot booked for the morrow and hopefully it will be 'unsorned' so I can ride it!

Success! Well done mate

Sent from my GT-19505 using Telekinesis

Had an hour in the garage tonight

That front engine mount bolt is well stuck in the engine .
It moves in the frame so tomorrow in going to get the angle grinder in there and cut the bugger out .

Painted a small ally bracket using gloss black caliper paint, really chuffed with how it's dried and it's REALLY tough paint too!

Will use that for my swingarm linkages

Had the flywheel zapped up last night so when I got the engine home I fitted the swing arm and rear sets the rebuild had begun :-)
