guys once again im in your debt guys.
all went well easy as stated above,
apart from when i removed the cap
it was holding in a big ass spring which cault me by suprise lol.
also forks were totaly empty apart from maybe
a spoon full of water and oil ah thats why
they traveled so far lol. in hindsight i should have relised this as when they were shipped to me from salvage yard box was all soggy but i thought this was
break fluid from calapers guess not.
also putting cap on after was a little tough but holding rachet on with my palm and wraping my fingers around the handlebar helped apply enough pressure to tighten with other hand.
now all i have to do is get a inspection and a plate
thits if my wife can find the customs paperwork from 6 yrs ago she said it was somewhere safe as yet she hasnt located it lol....

we have one road straight enough to wind it up a bit
go's past the airport its about 2 miles long so i should be able to relive my youth a bit.
Hey kano,
You got enough room on the vineyard to run your bike up? I bet you have a hard time finding a spot to hit 4th gear.
