Replaced l/h upper ball joint as the gather had split.
Removed l/h brake caliper and inspected it,
Re assembled and bled brakes, firm pedal,
Short test drive, everything's working.

Not a chance to get anything done in the garage........had Daz (Siliconekid35bhp) and his assistant here fitting a new bath for me. I renamed them Chas and Dave in honour of a line in the dynamic duo's greatest hit......

Gearbox now attached to the engine so hopefully will be dropped in tomorrow.

Huge yes just under 50 stone or 310 KG's wet been so busy with this neglected driving mine for a while but im on it today

[ClassiChimi]

That's some fine looking engine Simon,

And that's a fine bike shed, I grew up in places like that, could machine at 13 years old but then never went into engineering after school, forgot the lot really, so frustrating now I'm older and realise how developing those skills could have opened up a whole world of fun.
It's just great to see.

Identified (but not quite sorted yet) the over-rich map cells in my fuelling table that are responsible for the very low speed under load flat spot I've had for ages (Emerald logging rawks)... polished the clearcoat on my newly re-sprayed (rattlecan) passenger mirror, checked my clutch fluid level without hacking any sealant (gloat)

Not planned to Mac, sadly (been before and it's a great experience); will be at the 'normal' 24 Hr in a couple of weeks however. It's a standing fixture with a bunch of mates. Really looking forward to it and just hoping the bloody energy dispute doesn't flare up again.
