You can get the selector forks in after putting the cases together, saves farting about lining things up

Hmmmmmm, yeah, but the "farting about" bit is good coz it leads to achievement against the odds...and finally "self-satisfaction" :twisted:

But

I'll bare it in mind for next time :roll:

....Re-did me calipers tonite..... whacked in bit of red rubber grease to keep the damp at bay :wink:

Mrs P even let me do it in the front room.... :shock:

Fitted the new oil seals x3 to the sprocket casing tonite and whacked that back on

Also fitted the APE heavy duty studs :twisted:

Oh, and I won this the other nite... good old eBay.... :wink:

Not quite a JMC :roll:

but OK for Â£26

Greg it was off a Z1000J :shock:

So It'll be just right for me Lawson...

I've got a JMC concentric arm at the moment, but I intent to run this bike down the strip too, so that extra few inches will make all the difference :twisted:

I also have a spare set of Gixxer wheels (120 x17 & 180 x 17)

Piglet,I've heard a rumour that you're busy making a set of wheelie bars out of an old IRONING BOARD :lol:

Hey Jack-m-Lad... :crnk

Well..... its been one of those days..... :roll:

Thought I'd pop out to the garage for an hour & whack me short engine back in the Lawson frame......

OK for a one man job - frames still tatty so don't have to go too careful :wink:

Anyhow...... after 1/2 hour things were not going as planned... :evil:

Got rear mount in & the front lot were well "squiffy"... :shock:

Had to use a broom handle to gently persuade the front bottom to line up... :??

Feck.... this bike is a real Munter.... :shock:

The feckin' frames twisted :cry:

Notice the "fine-adjustment" tool on the right :roll:

After another 1/2 hour of "pushing & pulling"....NO JOY.... I decided to do the proper thing... CUPPA TEA & a BISCUIT (loads of them special Chocky Xmas ones laying about).

Back in the garage I had another 15mins struggling... then... EUREKA

Problem solved....

:oops:

Only had the rear spacers arse about face......
