What sort of photo files are you trying to upload? I can soon add another variant to the “allowed” list.

That’s odd.

Joint Photographic Experts Group designed this 25 years ago. You can compress a digital image by a factor of 10 with little discernible loss of quality.

The file extension is normally .jpg but I see that .jpeg is used at times. I will add it to the list - can’t do it at the moment as I’m using my phone

Thanks Steve, I don’t know why it’s suddenly become a problem, I’ve sent photos to my email and back to my phone to reduce the file size many times before and they have always uploaded to the forum no problem, maybe an update on my phone or email has altered things?.

Took to sorting the garage out rather than messing about with bike bits recently but the garage is getting there.  It was a £$%& tip before but at least now I've got some decent work space on the two work benches and bike lift and the bike bits that I was forever tripping over are away in boxes.  The blade is not happy being evicted from its bike ramp perch though.  I need to strip it and give it a deep clean as the guy I bought it off never used it but also never cleaned it either.  It needs all the rear linkage greasing and a proper deep clean.  I'm going to rebuild the front calipers as well I think

What with Chrimbo and the job situation this project took a serious backseat recently but trying to crack on a bit now.

I’ve started to fit the various bushes to the swing arm as well as get the forks rebuilt and top yoke ground and welded up. I’ve also been working on the transmission cover. Little bits I know but slowly ticking off jobs

Next thing to do is tackle the frame delugging :-)

Great thread, it's good to get started on the rebuild bit too. Good luck.

Top yoke is coming on at the moment.  I've ground away the lugs from the top and cut off the handlebar mounts and started to grind flat.

Going

Pretty much gone

Just need to drill out the holes, weld them up and then level out and most probably get it powder coated black

On a side note I have a rhino horn yoke that I'm not going to need if anyone is interested?  I'll whack some pics up in the for sale section later today.

Also been working on rebuilding the set of K1 forks I have here.  The fork lowers are coming up nice after a bit of work - still not finished but getting there.

The forks I got from DK had longer stanchions in them than normal (pic below)

As the plating is in good nick on the stanchions themselves does anyone know if its feasible to cut them down and rethread internally, save forking out for a new set of K1 stanchions?

I have to admit though I'm in two minds whether to go down the modern front and rear end route or keep it period

The GSXR/CBR front hubs by Cognito Moto although pricey might be a route I go down at a later point but think I'm going to push on with the standard forks and swinger for now

I also had an old KTM 690 swing arm kicking about the garage that I bought ages ago for a possible project in the future and mocked this up on the CB750 frame itself while I was deluging - I'm not sure myself (ignore the state of the workbench)

About 10mm (give or take) longer compared to the K1 swinger.  I've always liked the look of the KTM swing arms with the diamond castings.  Think it's going back on the shelf for now  :)
