yeah yer not wrong, funny thing is the pipes loose and has shed a couple of bolts. Was rumintaing on it tonight and the mrs says "how come you spend all this money on it and bits keep falling off it?" Got me thinking, have done over 1000 miles and mechanically it hasnt really missed a beat. Looking forward to stripping it down next week and getting all the things done i never got round to doing properley in my haste to get it built first time round... Have found a local firm to straighten the loop at the bottom, shorten the rear runners and fabricate a side air scoop in the pannel for the carb. Have it in my minds eye how i want it to look....So looking forward to see how it turns out.

Can anyone provide a list of performance bearings & seals that I could order from a bearing shop such as the one linked in the above post. Suitable for a complete egine strip and Imola upgrade. Many thanks.

But people feel better giving MB heaps of cash. What price that?

Might be heaps of cash to you but just lunch money to others

I can well believe it, judging by how many people want 'low down' power for riding one up!!

Sticky's book lists bearing numbers and seal sizes.
