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
will you be a Em's with both bikes ?

The thought did cross my mind, I'll have to see if I can fit them both in the van .

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!

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
Thankfully I still have the original that was fitted to the race bike, another half hour twiddling and it's done

Little update, I decided to replace the front engine mount but as Spondon 440 has retired and I didn't want to wait on a Hammer Performance part I decided to go for a cheaper option from an eBay seller billetbikebits,
Unfortunately it didn't go quite to plan, after it was fitted and I took it for a run I noticed oil dripping from the front head area on closer inspection I found the mount was so tight against the rocker cover it had pushed it out of whack allowing oil to get out,
I suppose on hindsight I should have checked the clearance beforehand, I contacted the seller but he was having none of it suggesting my engine must have moved and he's been making them for 15 years without any problems, I had to remove about 5mm from where it was touching the rocker, the other issue was the new bolt he supplied was about 25mm too long and came into contact with the upper mount, again never had an issue .
Then last week I noticed another drip, bugger I thought but lo and behold the front lower rocker gasket had decided it was going to join the party, luckily I have loads of spares in stock so another evening in the garage and that's sorted too .
All going well now............🤞🏻
