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

Yep, wax is on the agenda. A wrap has been discussed before Tony and is surprisingly expensive! However even if it was cheap the amount of cracks in the paint would show through. However, if I can get rid of them all then a respray/wrap won't be needed.

Me too. I have some birds nesting in my tree. Used to be Starlings every year, now it's Pigeons. Needless to say I won't be setting up a camera Alex

Just been on YT and saw something about 10 interesting facts about Christine.
The 'beauty car' ie the one featured parked up and being driven very carefully was made on October 31st.
Spooky huh?
