Oi Ritchie, somebody keeps getting a lump of scrap in 4 of the piccys.

I do like the way I hang my head in shame as Irksy trys to explain to Daves missus what we have been doing whilst she has been playing out on the gee gee.

Maybe we should have had a before shot, whilst the donor still had a back wheel and exhaust system. Explain the inadequacy of Daves tool kit and then justify last nights hard earned beer and kebab.

Back home and approaching civilised now - davepreston shall go to the ball, I feel

[timwilky]

Actually we can lay some hard work on Dave/YC.

The donor forks do not fit. There is no way on this earth that we can transplant them.

After an hour Dave mentioned that YC changed the bearing to put on a set of GSXR forks. 4th dismantle.

Yup, former project frame has a taper outer race, donor has ball race. So hours wasted removing outer race from donor/project frames to fit a matching bearing set.

Git could have told us at the start not an hour in.
