:yt: might even find that the front tyre is really a rear tyre for a smaller bike ( did notice the bobbles and wonder if it was a used track day tyre)
all the best with the project :yup:

What brand are you going for?

I did purchase a rusty X1 red racing stripe last week and it probably also needs a chock upgrade to! lOl

I'm thinking about one from Twin motorcycles.

I already own a Penske which is with gxc-engineering for a service and rebuild at the moment, it's been sat on a shelf in my garage since I went hardtail on the race bike back in 2016, should be good to go in a few weeks

That's better ;)
However not as simple as you'd think, swift journey over to see Maz after work yesterday sorted out a good secondhand bracket, set about replacing it this morning and was eventually happy with the reservoir hose position, wheeled it outside to have a better look only to realise the sidestand was too short now :x
Thankfully I still have the original that was fitted to the race bike, another half hour twiddling and it's done :sun:
