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

Glad it got there in one piece Jim. Good to see some progress with the car!

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!

Alloy tank. £73!! I quite like the stuff they make. Had one of their seats on an old A/C Yam.

Back on it. I got a chrome pen off eBay and this thing works really well. I'm going to try some lighting on this, especially the green glow that comes from the dashboard. Drilled some tiny holes but I think more holes are needed. Alex

Steve couldn't make it yesterday but he came over today. I explained that the fitment was even worse and showed him...and what I did was show him it fits perfectly. I stared at the yoke, then him, offered profuse apologies. I felt like a total Dwayne Dibbley. So all is good. No wobble and plenty of thread to get that nut on. Bump stops still fine. So. Tomorrow I'll go get the tyes fitted. I'd love to start fitting the forks but I've been told the dust seal hasn't been sent yet...hey ho. Alex

Brilliant Dusty. I was wondering how to explain it to Steve and you've solved it for me. I'll show him this instead. Thanks matey!

I was working today when I got a text saying my tyres had been dropped off at a neighbours place. Intersting invoice... Then a call from Steve (he got to my place quite early) saying he's left the yoke by my door and to let him know how it fits. Hmm. Had a test fit and it's worse. There is now no visible thread to put the lock nut on. I can understand why he's done this but the stem needs to come out and that spacer put directly at the bottom so the stem doesn't lose any height. He's coming back tomorrow for a looksie. Alex
