  1. "The wheel is interesting and I think one other thing might be worth doing.

    Once again put the wheel disc mounting face on blocks, clock off the block and measure the opposite side.
    Height wise you should be coming in at about 110mm but the important thing is that the measurement is consistent on all points measured."

    width of hub, across the disc mounting faces is 105mm.

    (zero height gauge, on one of the vee blocks. vee blocks are out of calibration, though they were a matched pair.)

    (does 900 have same front wheel, as the 750?)

  3. measuring the wheel - tyre valve

    "you will probably find that the tire valve sits at the wheel centreline, so another point if reference for you to take a height measurement from."

    (thinking about it now, i could/should have measured using a rod (or made/found a ball stylus) in the valve bore - or removed the valve before measuring.)

    (looks to be below centerline of hole, though maybe not 2.5mm (difference in measurements, side to side) away. if i remember, i'll check again before tyre goes back on.)

  4. "next thing to look at is the forks.
    With the axle through both forks out of the bike to align them through the axle, we can check relative heights of each fork cap and also the amount of stanchion visible.

    The reason you’re going to do this is because should for example, one fork be 10mm longer than the other and they’ve both been fitted and setup via the amount showing above the top yoke then you’ve instantly got issues at the fork bottoms."

    ok thanks for taking it one step at a time. a useful reference for the future too.

    it may be a day or two, before i get to the bike again.

    (impression that RHS, has taken more of a knock than the left)

    away from the damaged area, very little apparent radial difference

  6. There's some great attention to detail going on here. Good to see the bike getting the attention it deserves. Well done @sniffipn and @Sev
