  3. Spoke to the guys at Harris this week as I wanted all the correct fittings etc to mount the damper, Nigel recommended changing to the newer style so I went for it this was Monday and it arrived today just stuck it on to have a look,

  9. Finally made some progress tonight, all new bearings in the casing, new sight glass new water pump seals etc, all genuine bolts too because I can’t stand after market ones, reg Rec fitted really happy with tonight’s progress!

    got the rear sets on not adjusted yet but a start at least!

  11. Neither did I! I’m really happy with them!
     
  12. Yeah I bet mate
     
  13. It runs!!

    waiting for some dry to get it outside and up to temp but all seems fine, have noticed a broken stand switch. Is there anyone who can supply a plug and play Eliminator ?

    cheers all
     
  14. Anyone else cold...

    Bike Finally all back together, rear sets all set up, Ohlins damper on, New Generator, new reg rec, all new bolts for anything that came off during the process.

    after the first run the Bike is instantly happier, it always had a bit of an erratic rev counter but since installing new bits along with a new crank sensor it revs cleanly and no strange rev counter movements.

    Very much looking forward to the first ride out in spring!
