  1. I've been busy with the front engine mounts, now I'm happy with them I dropped the engine out in order to cut the right upper mount off. Once off I intended to move it forward and reuse it but the hole line is too close to the frame :( so a chat with Yantosh (cheers :tu) has steered me in the right direction :) tonight I made up part of the new mount, now I just gotta work out the best way to notch the frame :S

  2. Took measurement with wheel off the ground then back on the ground the difference was 14mm. Then sat on the bike & took another measurement & the difference was 16mm

  3. It would seem that my rear shock is too stiff  I'm only getting 14mm of movement when I sit on the bike . Not sure if it's the setup or the wrong shock or I need to change the spring

  4. Coming along (y) I do like a sssa, my JBC came with a narrowed triumph arm, it had adjustable dog bones in the style of end bearings. I replaced them with a wn style which I've had powder coated. I've now come across these adjustable top mounts that are offset a little which would've helped move the shock over a little as it's close to the left but hopefully it'll be OK. My shock from 93ish seems to be too stiff

After spending ages online looking at different seats & what might fit as I don't have a breakers nearby. Taking the bike or tank there to try one wouldbe a pain so I took a gamble & offered £12 for one that I thought might do the job. A lexmoto viper seat arrived today which I'm well pleased with :)

  6. Been busy sorting the engine out making up mounts & 1 needs moving. Played around making cardboard templates even 3D ones deciding on which way to go with the front side mounts. Chain run looks good but might need to go 520.Bought a matching front wheel but need to change the discs.
