Thought I better update this thread as once again I've kinda changed direction a little bit with what I'm doing with the bike. With the usual lack of planning or thought I've got all excited about seeing XS400's with Aprilia RS125 forks. So just when I've finished spending a lot of time, effort and money tarting up my stock forks I've gone and bought some different ones off another bike
Finally got around the fitting the new bronze swingarm bushes I've had for about 2 years...
Obviously the best place to do this is in the living room while watching the MotoGP. The bushes were a
very tight fit and I knackered 2 sets of nuts and washes with my homebrew press.
Finally fitted, with sore hands but some great racing in the GP
New bearings and seals for the disc rear wheel and unbelievably I've managed to find the spindle and spacers in the attic.
These were waiting for me when I arrived home from work on Friday.
I got giddy unwrapping the parts like a small child on his birthday (I may have some psychological issues
)
Very happy with the results
Just waiting (very impatiently) on some new bearings for the front wheel and headset and I can try fitting all this stuff together.
