Thanks for the words of encouragement guys, it's appreciated. Bryan, on the twisting method, do you do that with the bolts slackened, then tighten after getting alignment, or is it done after initial tightening. We used a similar method back in the day after one of our many minor tumbles, but I don't recall if we slackened off the pinch bolts first, in fact there are a lot of things I don't remember.
540 miles done, changed the oil and filter at 500. Nice one Steve 540 miles that's impressive - I'm still stuck at 1.4 miles - as soon as the weather breaks I hope to have a ride out out to Ashbourne or similar as I need to know it will get me to Crich & back.So what is your next project going to be staying with Honda?
Maybe a 500 or 750, non Honda would be a Yamaha RD 400, reliving the seventies again. Other than that I'm fairly open but I do want something that is fun to ride. I don't have room for another bike yet so I plan to enjoy the 400 over the summer then take a look at what's about.
RD400 was a surprisingly quick 2 cylinder 2 stroke Ted. An upgrade on the RD250 which was very popular in the early 80s. IIRC it looked identical except for the twin front discs.
Yes, agree. I think the last coffin tank 400 was the best.
