I have measured my old spring it is 125 mm in length on the bench - just shy of 5" in old money.

I used a spring puller to fit my new one - it was close to the limit of my weakling biceps to hook it on  that was with the swing arm fitted but no rear dampers - just made it a tad easier for an old man.

Cheers Ted - I'll try and get this one off tomorrow

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
These things are a challenge to common sense - yesterday I realised I had not fitted the steering column bottom outer race - it will be interesting to see if I can fit it working upside down or if I need to remove the rear wheel, swing arm, stand and fit it with the frame upside down as I did on the 400.

I'm assuming your centre stand is the one you took off not a spare stand.

Any news when the "Eagle will Land" (Laverda) ?
