b40rt

Thanks

Hi Mark Just checked again and back down to 6'3" about 82 Kg. I have Rockshocks with dual rate springs 45/55 and pre-load at a few turns from minimum. Never have any experience of Falcons so cant comment. I first got Rockshocks for my B40 and liked them so much got a pair for the SWM. I think in the distant past I have used higher bars, but didn't like them and put them on something I was selling (as you do) Personally I would think about lowering the footrests rather than raising the bars, but it depends how original you want to keep it.

Agree completely re bike being legal, however its the usual low hanging fruit type of policing.

Do Caddy's use alot of oil ? Heard they have a bit of a thirst.

I meant 6'4" +1mm

Sooooooo, do I understand that disc brakes and hydraulic clutches should be allowed ?

Curious to know what height you are, as I have always found 6" Renthal's to be perfect. (I'm 6'3") Ross

Got to agree with Parmaboy, for once. Ask Gerald Ratner about bad publicity ! "Although widely regarded as "tacky", the shops and their wares were nevertheless extremely popular with the public, until Ratner made a speech at the Institute of Directors on April 23, 1991. During the speech, he commented: “ We also do cut-glass sherry decanters complete with six glasses on a silver-plated tray that your butler can serve you drinks on, all for £4.95. People say, "How can you sell this for such a low price?", I say, "because it's total crap".[2] ” He compounded this by going on to remark that some of the earrings were "cheaper than an M&S prawn sandwich but probably wouldn't last as long". After the speech, the value of the Ratners' group plummeted by around £500 million, which very nearly resulted in the firm's collapse.[3] Ratner resigned in November 1992 and the group changed its name to Signet Group in September 1993."

Well wide of the mark with this method. The clue is in the name "DE COKE" I've always snorted it out.

But closer than a Mk2.

Stay..... balanced, Wayne A well balanced Geordie, a chip on both shoulders.

Hi gjbiker Gavin ? Thanks for the offer, but also have the inlaws 60th on Saturday night and Sunday will be more of a "blow the cob webbs away" than serious effort. Ross

Not sure a 520 is any stronger, depends on the relative quality. 428 is standard on my B40 which weighs at least 1/2 again.

Fork gaiters (disguisers) make it more difficult to measure diameter .

The float in the carb might be sticking, try a gentle tap on the body, also switch the petrol on a few minutes before you try starting to give the carb a chance to fill.

Think so, but don't see a date :- http://www.bamcc.co.uk/#/2011/4547398026

The very man :-

What sort of dog is it ? Sounds like a good offer.

Only prob with Craiglash is the 250 mile 5hr round trip, otherwise would come. Ross

A rigid rear is probably better than knackered shocks.

I'm actually sorry I bothered to reply, it was a warning about the outcome in the event of an accident. Jumping up and down on either end of the rack would almost certainly damage it, or the car, thus proving beyond doubt its unsuitability. Sometimes if you put things in simple terms, people understand.

Try jumping on it, that may be a more accurate representation of the loads transferred during a typical journey. The force transferred when pulling a trailer are completely different to those described above.

Looking at the calendar and don't see anything for the 3rd, and yet the following weekend we have Perth on the Saturday and Scottish classic at Balfron on the Sunday.
