fork fix.
 

well couldn't sleep, and as I didn't get a chance to do it yesterday I changed the fork seal on the T'bird, the pic's show just how much longer they are due to the 27 degree rake, over the Daytona's 23.

So it should be a better ride with more than the one fork doing the work ;)

Cheers Mark.

bit more playing, axle bung knackered after the rev run the bike over, so take one chrome draw handle + shed full of tools + Me, and you end up here.

I'll try it on the bike and see if it looks "in keeping", if not I've made a plain black one as well, but we'll see.

Cheers Mark.

Like it. Every man should have a shed. Preferably several.

Also, you can never have too much "stuff" this is the reason why, if you'd thrown those away think what could have happened!

:-P

Don't look bad, think I'll keep it.

Oh and after much practice I've found, 2 x garage, 1 x large shed and 1 x Man shed are about right :D

Cheers Mark.

Good work to do on your own Mark. Looking good.

Well went for a nice ride round tonight and although they might have a relaxed 27 degree rake to them, the front forks are so much better,spent Sunday just setting them up and you can tell it was time well spent indeed (fully adjustable Kayaba's), totally different class to the CB ones (custom pre-load spacers and progressive springs fitted, bit like to SV setup), so let the good times roll :riding:


Cheers Mark.
