His usual coffee. I neglected to offer a biscuit as I don't buy them. Schoolboy error.

Get to the lake and turn it over. Simple.

Aha! I was blind, now I can see! (Monty Python).
Hmm. Not sure they are Yam ones. Never seen that neck design before. Got me wondering if they'd look good on my LC now...

Mouse came over earlier today and I'm very glad he did. We have come to the conclusion it is the right drive but it's missing a component. There's a washer with 2 tangs that sit between the drive and the wheel in order for the thing to rotate properly and thankfully there was 1 on eBay. Ordered, should be here on Friday.

Thanks lads. Mouse thought the drive was wrong too but it's 100% Mito 125. However he also pointed out that it might act like an RGV and lock into place once the wheel rotates forward...I will try tomorrow.

Thought I'd do some online research about this speedo drive fitment but could find nothing at all. However on a microfiche I noticed I was missing a seal. Ducati Mondo had one and said it stops the drive from rotating. Really? Kinda doubtful but I ordered one anyway. Thought I'd clean it up, it was full of crap... All clean, packed with grease and a twirl with the speedo cable on confirmed it all works as it should. Alex

So today was fit the front end day. I got distracted when it stopped raining and the sun came out...and so did Lora for a blast about. That car is like therapy... First off I cleaned up the yoke with my Dremel. Then cleaned each ball bearing. Fitted the dust seal and popped the yoke on. Then the forks and muddie. Hit a snag. The mudguard bracket should align with the speedo drive. Asked Pete to send me a pic of his set up so I can work out what's amiss. Oh, new booties on rims. Alex

It was a bit of a moment. In my defence I had been working like a banshee for 3 days when I tried to fit it. Totally knackered.
The yoke is fine Jon. The little hole there is on one bump stop and that was welded there by Chris. Pete popped over the other day and had a look and he agrees that there's a ton of metal there. I've ground back less than maybe 1mm.
And...the new tyres are fitted!
