I suspect you have the wrong speedo drive too, as Dusty says. I think the drive you need should have a tab on it like an RGV one which would locate against the tab on the forks. The drive you have, has a slot which is nowhere near the tab on the forks.
I have done a quick bit of research and early Mitos had rwu forks and later ones like yours, upside down, so might they not have different speedo drives, still both Cagiva parts but each designed to work with the relevant forks?

For those, like me who only have 'Freeview' (Quest channel) on their TV, from 11am to 5pm they are showing the first round of the 2024 BSB championship!
Also for the first time, this round is from Spain at Navarra.
If it's anything like the last few seasons of BSB, it should be fantastic!

Just register your bike as 'historic' in the taxation class at the post office and your bike will be ULEZ compliant, plus free tax and no MOT required!
Your bike will qualify as it is over 40 years old!

Those brakes have come up a treat, Ovi has surpassed himself!
All looking great Dusty, the only thing, with those 'powerhouse' kits, everytime i've used them the bleed nipples they supply are useless. They never seem to seal properly and i end up using the original, hope you have better luck though!

Alex, have you filed away enough of the lock stop? The problem was the frame (steering head) was sitting on the lock stop I think you need to file it away until it is level with the bottom yoke and in the pics it doesn't look it. hope that makes sense?

Took my 31k's logbook to the post office to register it as 'historic', so no more road tax or MOT's.
That will be all three LC's registered as 'historic' now, YES!

Sorry to hear about your brothers 'off', but very glad he is ok. Are you completely rebuilding the whole bike?
I'm sure it will be a stunner anyway!

That looks very nice! Looks like it's all there, seat looks as though not recovered that well but hey. I think that is just a later colour scheme but a gen Suzuki one.
Not sure i would bother with the 400, not if you really want a 750.
I would move quick Alex, maybe try and see it this weekend?

Alex, you could try 'Infinity' in Farnborough or 'Helmet City' both have quite a range of gear.

They are great books. I have every year from 80-81 to the present, but am missing the first three i think, 77-78, 78-79 and 79-80. They are so expensive now!

I read his book 'A bit of a do' and it was laugh-out-loud funny, would love to meet him, i think he is a great guy, no ego as such.
He runs the JW trackdays which look like fun.

I would build it first and then work out the length you need. Every hybrid will be different, somebody may measure for you but you might be using slightly different handlebars and so the measurement wont be quite what you want, or you may position your mastercylinder differently or be using a different one altogether etc. there are a lot of variables!

For the first time since registering them as historic vehicles, i taxed two of my LC's for free!
Which was nice!
