SWMBO, the clue is transparent ! SWM bloody obviously .....

I'm curious how reducing the clearance, by putting thicker plates in, can help reduce drag ?

I'd consider another gori or swm, better value than many other bikes of a similar age, and still very competative. Lothian trials club have a trial this Sunday out past Gifford, worth a look of you have the time.

Any bike can enter, but the classic championship is pre65, twin shocks and air cooled mono - with a and b routes. All other bikes are in separate results.

I'm assuming you got that from Old Knobblies ? I heated and bent mine to suit, plus ground the frame marginally as required. I also tapped the head and fitted a decompressor to ease over tdc. This takes a huge amount of the effort out of starting.

Richard Allan also worth contacting for second hand spares.

Have you changed the condensor ?

$20 + per spoke ?

What county are you in ?

Personally, I'd drop the footrest before raising the bars. This will improve handling as well as comfort.

Dis-engaging the wheel from the motor using the clutch, many assist in regaining traction ?

Please expand, new theory to me.

Pressure washers ......

Is your timing correct ?

Yes, as much is possible👍

Bear in mind some / all this corrosion may be due to your engine acting as a sacrificial anode, so it is equally important to make sure the frame is rust free and painted.

I'm assuming you don't bother with boots, helmet, gloves, ball ends on levers, folding footrest etc 😆

Particularly in the first few months / years, you will find yourself in some very strange / unnatural positions, I would wear them .
