Mot'd today! yea!  ;D
Forgot how miserable it is not having a bike on the road, seems to play on my mind even if I dont fancy riding it.
Will have to spend a bit more on it but for now at least its kosher.
Cheers

Congratulations, it's great to keep these old things up and running.  Have you sorted the kick start thing?

metalcatfish:
Actually, Ive got a funny tale regarding my kick start issue. Which is no biggie anyway. Tried turning the kick start boss around 180 degrees to give me the extra clearance for the footpeg.
I did check that the head of the bolt wouldnt hit the clutch cover, by turning the lever by hand. It did. Not only did it slightly graze the cover it tore a bleeding great hole in it!
My clutch cover was seriously wafer thin!
Ahem, I laffed. Honestly, after all the aggro ive had with suppliers lately to go and break my own bike with nothing less than the power of stupidity made me crack up.
But its fixed now, and providing the new gasket doesnt leak should be good as new, (at least there's no bp style slick running down my drive, yet).
Thanks
