Yes I read that... Makes sense keeping the spring off tension.
I had only a small play with stuff as working all weekend. Luckily only standby today so took the chance to raise the rear and loose fit swingarm to try and fabricate a ohlins remote on that frame mount. Its only a rough one to check it works and doesn't interfere with shock or exhaust before I get the OZ to help me reproduce in a more solid more constructed welded plate version in thicker plate and a machine rolled radius cup in aluminium. He was talking titanium but will see what we can do.
It seems to be ok as a trial but it could bounce and bend if no strengthen ribs.
I cut the left side off for any exhaust header if it runs there and will be as much to the right hand side as feasible.
I need to still route the hose carefully as possible so angles are still to be set.
Its getting taller everyday so may have to lower her down.
Carburettor now has the correct size spring protector on the last hose. Its a detail and very minor and never seen.
Fitted eventually the spindle to bearing bush.
Question.... Do the cush drive pins press in or are they threaded. I was going to replate as now bare metal after vapour blast and the allen socket and a vice would not turn it out.
Replaced all the rubber dampers on the rectifier/fuel pump/airbox mount/and oil breather box. Lost the new ones somewhere for the rear tail light.
Removed the front pentagonal plate and buffed up ready for plating with the screws. Will order a new gasket set even though came off nicely
