550 F2 started!
Laverdaroo:
Is this how that U shaped bit goes on, I’ve bought this as mine didn’t have a serviceable one and not fitted one before. I realise the swinger isn’t on but it looks high, touching the rear footpeg bracket. Does the stand or the swinger have a ringer stop or similar?
Hint like the thought of it banging me lovely, not-nut brown powder coat?

I beleive that is normal as you need tension in the stand when its up to stop it bouncing aroune. The bump stop will most probaly be mounted on the silencer bracket or silencer itself.
I just taped a temporary rubber stop on the stand to prevent any damage until the silencer is in place.
FWIW on my 500 I could mount the brake pivot in place with the swing arm & shockers in position unlike the 400 where it had to be fitted beforehand.
Laverdaroo:
That’s good to know cheers Ted, I knew I’d read summut about brake arm in first or you can’t with the arm in but you’ve reminded me that that was on the 400. Nice one mate. You get the boiler sorted or are you still huddled round a pile of burning books in the conservatory

We've managed to keep the house reasonably warm hopfully it will be sorted tomorrow - just to make life easy my Jeep battery died a couple of days ago - the battery was two months out of its 4 year warranty - after two days on charge it's only 12.2 volts - replacement on its way from Tanya Batteries.
If it comes in threes we have one more thing to pack up before 2023. ;D ;D ;D
