Looks great Ian! Give us a shout for a run out some day on the 550’s

Orcade-Ian:
Will do Johnny,
Back about 18th so if it's not blowin a hoolie or 6" of snow, I give you a bell. 

Ken, it's time for me to own up as a numpty - I hadn't rotated the l/h footrest fully anticlockwise against the peg before tightening the nut!  Just done that and distance is acceptable now.  Still bigger distance than 350 and 400 but I might grow into it!

She’s a beauty Ian. Can’t think of a better home she could have gone to and you’ve perfectly judged the recommissioning of this bike. Congrats

Orcade-Ian:
Thanks James,
You knew it was worth doing and it's going to be used!  There are still things to do of course - I haven't re-built the wheels yet or straightened that headlamp ear - they can wait until the Winter comes around again. I'll probably have the rims, silencer and fork ear re-chromed rather than replace them and I can BZP the spokes myself - that always brightens things up.  I'm really grateful that you let me have a go!

Ian
