Zadix - is that a really clean garage or does your wife let you keep the bike in the House.... i didn't know god made women like that
//and before anyone even gets the chance of noticing that the garage floor is pink....well, all I can say that this isn`t my garage, it`s my mother-in-laws...she so kindly lets me keep the bike there over winter! and she kinda likes pink...
DavShill..that is the reason...
What backwheel..?!
I´m changing the sprockets and chain, and if I find a swinger at the right price that might go to..
I`ll get new bulbs and se what that might look like, could be really nice!

Hello!
I have been trying to find the right nut fort the indicators, not the easiest!
But, for all of you who might be in the same situation in the future, the nut is a M10x1.25, which is not the "normal" M10.
Just thought I´d share the information...
Other than that everything seems fine. I´ve bought new bulbs and will try to skip the ambercolored lenses, and the connectors are being redone to fit. Pictures will follow.

when the tail tidy is fitted - or at least my interim one is on....
now off to the workshop with a mate to fit my Mille rear shock :)
(And i did spend 3 hours polishing the beast yesterday :) )
I reckon polished black is probably faster than normal black by 3 mph, so should be at least 10 mph faster than the other colours....

Even for a Leeds fan this is way too much optimism. Without wanting to start the old "which colour is fastest" debate all over again.
It's a well known fact that black is a
slow colour, you only have to look at the colour range Ford offered the Model "T" in! yes that was fast wasn't it??????
Incoming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

leeds fan.... optimistic.... only in having a chance at winning the first division title next season...
oh, and i do declare that good old henry's black beasts were better than anything else around at the time :)
oh - mille shock two of us an hour too fit, using a scissor jack, hydraulic lift, long t bar, assorted ratchet heads and a girt big birmingham screwdriver..... didn't have to use the hammer much BUT it did scare the falco into submission....
