Honda-SOHC

Mostly worked on 750 and always with them on right side of bike.

Amusing that in a original Honda 750 manual, a double page spread illustrated with exploded build diagram on RHS, picture of rear with it on RHS, also another picture installed opposite  LHS.

As Julie notes though, it doesn't make a difference from a clamping point of view, the spindle is "floating" and will effectively impart tensile load the same from whichever side you put it in.

To be honest, I've seen them both sides and have had my own 400's on both sides. I don't n't think it makes a huge amount of difference though. If I had a puncture, I'd walk away and leave the bike, there's no way I'm taking a wheel off by the side of the road. The practical side of my head says right, the purist side of my head says left.

If your happy to take the exhaust off every time you get a puncture put the nut left, otherwise put it on the sensible right.

100% left. Why anyone would even consider putting on the right is beyond me.

You are correct in that transaction charges are vatable. Not an issue if you are VAT registered (as we are) but another hit if you’re not.

We never took Amex (even in the days of slide-over card impression machines) as the fees were exorbitant.

I am definitely no accountant but... 

The total card commission over a period (net) is then +vat? They are charging Vat on a service as such.

What I mean Steve is if we take £1000, we pay card charges on all that at point of sale. Then come Vat time, we give the inland Revenue the vat content on the £1000, about £150, against which we have paid the credit card company 1-2% already. Yes we get the added vat content on that charge back but that's it. We are paying a charge against money we are simply handling for Revenue.
