Havoc

My NWS arm was a standard arm the NWS braced and added a JMC slot...

I always thought NWS were welsh Wales based. Every day's a school day. Had one on the Slingy...

Thinking about it I do pressure wash the bike out of laziness. Perhaps I inadvertently washed out some grease. I shall grease them up after shimming.....

Performance wise they're great and I love the over engineered vibe of them. Only down side with mine are they have worn a bit after a summer of fairly heavy use. I'm going to use some very thin shim washers to remove excessive play. Greg's have no play in them whatsoever and he does use them so I'm not sure why mine have become a little wobbly

A stepped top yoke like the one Sam made on my Katana build would make the steering a little more EFEee, slightly less twitchy..

If I recall correctly the whole front end is SRAD 750 with a flat bar top yoke conversion

Yes, they're dropped 10mm through the top yoke and the head light illuminates a spot 3m in front of the bike at max adjustment but it rides fine..

'Av it

Rude not to. I can just about roll out of bed and land in the shed at Newark

Can I pay on the door? I'm planning on riding up.......

All my photos from the Slabby framed GS1080 are in a file called 'XR41'

No, had issues with the rear suspension knuckle but sorted now. Will get back on it. As a general comment I considered that I was upgrading the running gear of a GS1000 (GS1080) rather than down grading the motor of a Slabby

Lol, there's OSS and there's an easy life. I picked the expensive difficult way. OSS forever. Caveat, I also have a few non OSS bikes, 42 in total Rode one of the new Kats, it did everything well like the 1000S it's based on. Love bikes, all bikes..

Dan Hegarty built a beautiful GS1000 motor for a customer and had best part of 3 motors left over. ..'... Tom, you're into Suzukis, got these GS1000 engines, want them?...'... ...'.... I'd love them Dan, but I'm skint at the moment...'... ...'... don't worry man, pay me when I get back from the Macau GP...'.. ...'.. Cool, thanks Dan...'... He never came home from Macau He also raced a Slabby at the Manx a few years earlier. This build is a tribute to a very good friend. RIP Dan So now you know why

I'll finish it one day....
