That’s the one


Yes new clutch but struggling to get a pressure plate as my forks are trash

I sent my original 500 AP clutch off for a refurbishment, they replaced the friction material, and then put a new pressure plate inside the original pressing and new springs, was about £250 if I remember right, very reasonable compared to other options as you won't find an original AP pressure plate.
CG Motorsport in Leeds.
I haven't driven mine properly since it was done, just moved it in and out the garage, I'd say it's slightly lighter than the original.

It’s alright I suppose rofl
Awesome job. Those old shells were ok I see. Even after thrashing the crap out of it trying to beat me they are not bad biggrin
I really like that blue colour.



When’s the Chassis coming back.

Looks awesome, Definitely giving me some inspiration that i could do mine myself and spend the change from a 10k garage job on extra goodies.
Are you doing this with pure skill and years of acquired knowledge or the help of guides?
will be following along :-)
