Id like to have gone with original fork ears. I try to source some from ebay but all pretty much rusted through. Reflecting on it (and maybe because I cant find a decent pair), they just look like a massive water trap plus with the gaiters they would hide my shiny new stanchions.
I did respoked to an 18in rear when I worked out 16in was wrong rim and spokes were pretty shot.
I'm working on the clutch just now, adjuster is broken - I believe this is a common thing. Part it seems is NLA and the only place I could fine one was a guy in Sarno, Italy, but who wouldn't ship to UK. Luckily my sister in law lives 15mins down the road in Salerno, adjuster arrived today.
I suspect this is not the place on the forum to ask but Ill have a go - any suggestions where to get clutch shim washers. I've got the 0.1mm shim but there is a fair bit of end float in the clutch and I reckon it needs the .3 or .5mm shim, but cant source the Honda part and off the shelf shims are 35mm OD which wont fit the hole in the clutch?
