Try adjusting the stop light switch spring, the stop light may be permanently on?

I have used this guy a few times. Excellent and he makes the spokes to fit. He builds wheels and will supply spoke kits to pattern if you send him your old ones. Works from a shed at his house and knows his stuff. Been doing it for years.

Anorak's Corner / Re: Frame Alignment Checking

How about the straight edge method on the rear wheel? If that's not right then chances are the frame is twisted.

Koyo do DH bearings in lots of sizes. They are heat treated so maybe worth a look at their catalogue when looking.

CB750 / Re: 750k1 tyre wear?
« on: July 15, 2023, 01:53:23 PM »
Some Bridgestone tyres are well known for 'Cupping' on the rights side. It's partly to do with the road camber and tread pattern. Ignore it as it will last longer than you think.

Hire a van in Leeds from a national company and take it home, then drop the van off at a local depot. Seems the safest and most economical way of going about it?

An EV has it's place just like other forms of transport. We have a Kia Niro EV, 64kW and a true 280 miles on full charge in summer. This drops to about 260 in winter, less if you use the heated seats. It's Jan's car and is mainly used for short local runs. It's ideal for this sort of work. We charge it using our solar panels at home. We have 3.9kW peak solar panels and battery storage that charges the car between April - September without importing energy. We don't import any electricity for the house either during those months. It works very well for us and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.

We also have an Audi A4 estate for holidays and long trips. The charging infrastructure is crap, that's true and expensive to use.

That's partially true of air source heat pumps but not ground source.
