I thought it interesting Trigger preferred the Keyster. I've heard from other people that they are rubbish . Actually on my own bike I just needed o-rings and float valves. I got a viton ring kit off eBay and genuine valves. No problems.

Yeah Tried keyster a couple of years back wernt impressed needles are all wrong had to fit clip at the next to bottom so the slide would fully close without sticking.Put the old hondas back.
Was for 750 k though.Read some where supposed to have got better now.

I love the Elan Valley. I've been on bikes and in a car (with the Mrs)

It's the perfect antidote to those miles of open sweeping A roads that they have in Mid Wales.

Right on my doorstep. For Elan valley I know a company who can let you really explore, they provide trailbikes, all the gear and as much tuition as you need and a guide ( or 2 or more if there is a lot of you, that is sometimes my job ) Trail rides Wales if you fancy a trip on the rough stuff. They are based a few miles up the road and using their knowledge of the trails you can go from Elan Valley right to just outside Aberystwyth and up the coast and over the hills to Harlech in north Wales ( probably 2 days of riding for all that, using lanes and tracks, they match the routes to the ability of the riders so it can be gentle forest tracks to full on nuts rutted stuff depending on what you want) Sorry for being a bit off topic but couldn't resist mentioning it, it makes for a brilliant way to further explore this bit of Wales. I reacon they could even find secure covered parking for your bikes.... if not I could.
Got a 500/4 with rust and a sidecar and loadsa bits. nice and original and been round the clock
