The cunning plan for today.
Go and pick nobby up by changing the forks,and ride him back.
Well it went like this.
Fetched the forks off.that took all of ten minutes.
Do you think i could have them straightened.





Only joking the tubes are scrap.The lowers and internals are fine.

Ok stuck the new forks in the bottom yolk,and there is a 20mm misalignment to the top yolk.
i could get one fork in but not the other.
After Fracking about for a bit i took the yokes off.
Top yoke was fine.
Bottom yoke the centre tube was bent.




The tube as you can see had kinked,New bottom yolk required now.
Having that tube in saved the frame.

Right the other thing i found,The bottom bearing has a plastic cover on it which collects water nicely.
And fills the bearing nicely with water.Take some side cutters and cut a notch into it to let the water out.
Or rusty bearings

Flying to Gatwick and riding back.   There could be a few little mods, but nothing that isn't reversible. I would like a single seat like the one on the T3 in the video thread, which would require new rear light. The Spada screen will go - and the clocks..................

Sorry mate,But your going to loads of problems riding that back.Glad its not me.

I was going to say you where going to have problems with being stopped on that bike.


Its got blurry numberplate syndrome.
Why they do that is beyond me

That's what Heather reckons! It all started with a need for a T3 Cali - you know the feeling?

What Button.The menue button on the bars????

Where's everyone gone? Have you all been as busy and distracted as I have?

I got an invite to the local Harly Dealer they were haveing a HOG roast. I thought the things must be bad if the dealer is setting fire to his stock, turned out to pig in a bun with a bucket of chips for free

i thought this club had beardy weirdies but the local HOg chapter beats them. Anyway nothing like parking a guzzi in the middle of 100 Harleys
