Hi Chaps,


Buelly has passed its MOT thanks to copious amounts of money and time being spent on her. Had to a barrage of things which were outstanding, including rebuilding the front forks, new front brake pads with more bite, new rear shock (£125 from the US), new front and rear exhaust hangers, new exhaust, new front wheel bearings (succumbed to the pressure washer.......) blah blah. Hence my disappearance for a while.

She's all ready now and hopefully the new exhaust won't fall off again. Its a Vance & Hines. Finally something that looks half decent and will hopefully last. Changing the shock has also helped a lot and transformed the handling of the bike. I can now ride it without being thrown out of the seat on every hard bump. I know an AST is better, but I just don't have the budget at the moment. Hence an original replacement.

P.S. before you wise-crackers say anything, I know the rear hanger is not standard on the can. Its home-made ala Mich, but it works.

Welcome back Mich, I thought that Dorske had you chained up in the cellar in Amsterdam. (No I don't want photos)

This whole thread has spent too long dwelling on bottoms, IMO!

Funny that, hu? Whenever I come along bottoms seem to be the topic of the day...
