I had the same problem with my 4/4 set from silvers. It would clang on the pipe coming up. Bit of a bodge, but I stuck a tiny piece of 1/8" rubber against the stop. Phil

My new 500 came with them. Don't remember replacing them, but probably did as bike was used year round. Spent a fair few ££ buying up a set from three different sources in the last few years.

Usually you find the collar more worn than the bushes, the early one is still available, but bloody expensive, the later one is not available but you can use the early one, preferably with the bolt having a grease nipple at each end rather than the one in middle of swing arm
That's been my experience as well. Managed to find a couple of the precision steel rods when they were cheaper.

I had a feeling this was on the cards. I sent an email a couple of weeks ago and didn't even get their automated replay. I am down about £910 as I have been waiting 11 months for CB500 pipes. I did pay on credit, we'll see. I did nearly jump an buy the delkevic set when it was £950, but now I'll have to pay £1100.

Done. Only bus lanes around here are Slough and they are all OK to use.

Not really,
2 6ft straight edges would
The idea is you put it around the front wheel,,about 8in from the ground, then pull equally both sides to the rear wheel,
As the rear tyre is wider, the string should just touch the leading edge of the tyre,
Next you check the gap at the front tyre,
It's fairly easy to see if both sides are equal. If not, adjust the rear wheel as necessary

+1 to that. That's the way I've always done it.

I had the same growing up experience as K2-K6. Frost on widows, burst water pipes and cold lino. As I said we had storage heaters in 1970. Never had an issue with any (except a problem with a fan that one had) in the 37 years until he died.

Just the one (lucky?) bidder £2500. A 550 to do refurbish is often in the region of £1200-£1300 + a couple of hundred to deliver. Why bother if you can ride this away a grand more?

Father in law had his boiler moved from bedroom to loft about 10 years ago or so. They insisted on good access with a quality fitted ladder. But it worked out fine. My father had storage heaters. They all had separate 20A switched d/p outlets.

Now £1099.99 but still £50 off if quick. Those who bought early did well.
