Thanks Mark!
Progress. Plus a mate is visiting this weekend and can do my heavy lifting.
New tyres! I took Pete’s advice and went with Metzler Z8’s. I’ve changed the 180 rear to a 170 (better fit to my mod
),and the front was 120/70 down to 120/60.
I was not happy with the last setup & worse again, previously, they were not matching brands. Now all matches
.
One of the ‘new’ handlebars was actually more bent than what is on, so that has saved some time.
MORE FU?!!NG PLASTIC CRACKS.
BUGGER ME SENSELESS, IT NEVER ENDS!!!
The rally is close enough that I’m making some expedient choices.
I’ve a few little gremlins I fed after midnight that might hold me up so I’ve decided that any donor parts from Effie can come off at the last second. If there are major issues, Yummy sleeps at home and Effie can come and party.
My spare clutch master needs a mod, headlight as above, tank, final seat fix, (Corbin are tough cause they weigh was much as the sun!).
I think I’ve done enough plastic repair. I just can’t look at any part in bright light. You know, just in case.....
I can accept most of the wiring bits for now. Also the plastic will only be a spider web of repairs.
This weekend should be the vinegar strokes for getting Yummy road ready.
I’ll put up some shots next.
