Think he stopped a few years ago
Martin Leech (Knowledge) has confirmed that he still makes Custom length choke cables. It's the rear brake cables he does not make any more.

No petrol on the floorboards so I thought all was sorted. Next day started first kick, rode for about 5 mins and stopped. Wouldn't st...
