Depends . I am hoping for a short sharp shock but the hint of 6 months earlier is worrying. I don't think Boris acted early enough , should have been stricter , who knows ? I doubt we will see any sport this year be it pro or hobby , I think it will take us a few years to get over it if it drags out .

Dragging this thread back.. Have rules changed for a Mills in Scotland ??

Loosen the exhaust at the barrel , let it blow and see if it improves a bit. If so then blocked exhaust .

You can just unplug most of the loom and reg/ rec and just leave the ignition. You will need to wire in a kill switch unless you keep the Honda one.

Thanks Charlie, the strap I am talking about would be 120 / 150mm diameter

Does anyone know where I can get the front fuel tank retaining rubber strap, the type used on the Holtworks style tank that hold around the mushroom / bobbin type thing at the front. Thanks in advance

That's not a Drayton, it is one of Stavs over priced bikes . There have been 2 Draytons for sale this week and both have been sold.

Engine is a WR 250

On later bikes especially Japanese what was a fashion was also a money saver for the factory as the casting and alloy content could be of a cheaper quality, not a problem if any markings in the cases as they were going to be painted. ACF 30 is a good protection for blasted cases. Being nosey what sort of price was the vapour blasting ??
