Front stand
Ordered Tuesday - Delivered from Germany Friday - Assembled 5 minutes later - Assembled correctly 5 minutes later - Bike in the air shortly after that. Discovered my brake hoses are a bit short. I think they may be stopping the front forks from fully extending. Best not do too many wheelies!

I'm not really sure. I'd guess it's OEM. The rear hugger is a pyramid though.

Ah well as previously mentioned, raising my forks in the yolks might help but, whilst tightening the chain this afternoon, I discovered the source of my cornering difficulty............the back wheel was not aligned, It was slightly off to the right. Now straight took it for a blast..........B...E...A...UTIFUL! She falls into the bends nicely, can now do left handers without scaring the sheet out of myself

Only hope I can get mine back together as well. Check out Ride in Tyres in Reading for best local tyre deals. Although obviously you'll have to factor in a trip to Glasgow to meet someone who knows how to get to Reading! <Link>

Bit worried about Thunderace. Not had his usual 10 posts before breakfast. I did send him home yesterday afternoon with a new tool and a good book so hopefully he's holed up in the bog with the book and not trapped under the Ace having failed to use the new tool correctly.

He'd love to be squashed under that beast though. It'd be his favourite way to go.
