Lucky so far, I already have an indictor ordered years ago but not fitted, I wonder if I can dig up a brake lever?

As the value of classic bikes go down and the price of spares goes up I do worry that demand for parts will go down significantly. When that happens there won't be a viable market to make pattern parts any more! 🤔

I think this slump in value won't last myself, could it be a UK thing? Here we have made it so hard and expensive to get a full m/c license it has hit the number of proper motorcycles on the road hard.

Selfishly, I hope the value of classic bikes continues to fall, that way, I might actually one day to be able to afford that ratty Triumph or Norton I have dreamed about for the last 40 odd years.  ;D

A quick shout out for Nurse Julie, for her help in reducing parts prices.

As an example David Silver charges £46 plus P&P for 6 genuine CB750 rubber pucks under cam carrier.

Julie's price is £15 to members here plus P&P  :)

Honda/DS/CSMNL prices for small genuine Honda rubber parts is crazy.

Don't even think about the genuine rubber inserts for cylinder fins DS price is £10.20 and there is 20 so to replace all would cost £204 pus P&P  :o
