Bob the seat in forest of dean used to be the go to man, supplied all the covers to ds.
He did have a bad health episode a while back and was winding down a bit so not sure if he is still doing seats, Morretti was the last name i think

Bob has closed the company Bryan and has sold off all his material stocks and the metal plates that heat and press the seat covers etc.

Did not know that Julie but not surprised, do we know where they went?

Yes, I do as I was discussing it with someone a few weeks ago but for the life of me I can't remember who bought everything. I know it wasn't P&K though.

Edit..... I remembered 😊😊😊😊

Looks like I will be needing more than one seat cover. Just been to the lockup to collect the 750F2 and discovered the seat cover is torn. It's not accidental it's just gone where the heat sink design is on top. Guess they went a bit too far and left it thin. So I will be needing a quality seat cover for a CB750F2, so I guess the Silvers seat on the K5 will have to do for now.

Well, after 27months of one problem after another, plus a budget that I will never see again it's finished. It would have been way cheaper just to buy a restored bike, but where's the fun in that. I spent the afternoon going through every setting to try and dial out a tiny misfire and it's done the trick. The first ride out was just around the block due to a clunking noise when the engine was on load. That was traced to a simple interface twix chain and chain guard. An easy fix with an M8 half nut as a spacer and longer bolt to move it away from the chain. Then the second test run was faultless although I only did 2.5 miles. It was already at full temp from the carb balancing so it was a true indication. The engine ran like a well oiled Singer sewing machine. Also pleased to report no fuel or oil leaks. I am really pleased how it turned out when I look back at the POS I started with. Thanks to everyone who helped along the way, I truly couldn't have done it without you all. And just in time for spring as well.

Great work Roy. She looks lovely - well done for hanging in there and getting over the line. A credit to you.

Thanks James. And those nice shiny clamps finished it off a treat. Cheers.

Beautiful looking bike. Well done Roy. You must be well chuffed.
