If you're fitting the OEM ones like I stock, they should be pretty easy to fit on George.
Damn, I'm too late for that Julie, unless things go pear shaped with the ones I've ordered.

I'm soon to change for the first time in eight years my handle bar grips. I remember the hell of getting them on then, anyone know an easy way?

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.

Depends if you want genuine or pattern mate, ive probably got used ones about if i can find them!
Lucky so far, I already have an indictor ordered years ago but not fitted, I wonder if I can dig up a brake lever?

I'm just glad my bike is very much part of me and it isn't for sale. I wonder what a new brake lever and indicator lens is going to cost me. I was deliberately pushed off my bike by an e-bike rider and I could get very politically incorrect about it.

Is that the noise the bike makes going past? Meeeee-owwww!
Usually, when it starts hissing you know it's going to let you down!

I took my pads out and rubbed them hard on the pavement, squeaks and squealing stopped.  In the meantime my drum has started squealing, no peace for the wicked!

Hi Rob Why not introduce yourself on the New Members Forum here, and you'll soon have the five posts you need to post some pics of this bike.

Chinese bikes are coming so ignore them at your peril! At my age I couldn't give a hoot about the Yellow Peril ( I'll keep flying bananas out of it. ) If their bikes are more reliable than their damn tin openers the Japanese big four could be in trouble.

Definitely caught the “bug”! You’re going to be limited to 5k or she’s going to have to hang on. Of course it might move. You wouldn’t want it jammed up in the intricate workings of the gauge, don’t know if that’s possible haven’t studied inside of these.
Your concern is misplaced Johnny, the needle clears her head, neck and shell. She will not be pushed around the clock nor will she do an Anne Boleyn!

I hope it is as good as it looks. I would have thought the Chinese would have given a tourer a name like Long March or something!

The remains will fall to bits, unlikely to damage anything.
Well, for the time being lets see the bright side, she is colour matched to the bike!
