Any more progress on the project?
Tell me about it, rode my last one round Scotland and spent 3 days in the rain. Lost count the number of times I had to dry the front plug hole out. Probably too ambitious to hope I don't get rained on.

Good to know thank you Nice to see you're still around as well. Had to take the forks to a shop to strip as I don't have the tool to hold the dampers while I take the bottom bolt out, they girl there suggested emulators (?) Popular on the racing circuit apparently?

Interesting fix, I'll have a look once the forks are stripped and see how they look, thank you.

As for progress, got the hole for the Oil Sensor welded up so I need to drill and tap that, then it's off to the powdercoaters
