What about the showa air suspension sticker on the left leg (chrome writing on black decal) I don't know, where's the decal police when you need them 😅 On a serious note I dropped off your bolts this morning.

Hi All I found a bit too much play in the clutch dampers So ordered a set off Norbo and here's what I found The top two lines are the originals With the new ones fitted it's a bit of a squeeze I haven't bolted it back together yet as I'm wondering if I should use the four original large ones And four new ones alternately as they fit better,I have stripped two baskets so won't be using the knackered damper What do yous think Cheers Matt

Think you need some give for smoothness on and off throttle
If the big ones are jammed in the give will already be used up

Matt, I've just gone through the same problem, two weeks ago. Replacement rubbers from Yambits don't fit as their too big. (what a surprise). Nigel (NK) said he was out of stock for 4 weeks. Nova racing were brilliant as they had different sizes. Trubrit gave me the info . Muttsnuts sent me some as well.
With a bit of luck, my clutch comes back in the next few days with an assortment of spare rubbers. Your welcome to any that you need. I say with a bit of luck, as my clutch was sent by courier 5 days ago, and knowing my luck it could be lost in transit.
Nova's rubbers were about £2 each.
HTH Mark
