Thanks, Raymond. I've bookmarked that and will give it a careful read. I've also coughed up for a Tarozzi fork brace so I'll have more...

Bought myself a little project for the winter: Yes, parts like these are expensive in the UK, more's the pity. However, I wondered...

Making a note of this here in case it helps others. I've been gathering the parts to upgrade the front brake with a Brembo 4-pot...

Ah well, if you ever decide to make some more then please count me in.

Does anyone make aluminium pushrods any more? I'd buy one if any were available.

Bill, here's the spokes I saved from my Heritage Special front wheel. There are two lengths as you can see I hope this helps. Cliff

My SJ has a 19" spoked front built from a Mikes XS flangeless alloy rim & stainless spokes, plus an EBC rotor and 11mm m/c. Braided...

This may help too.

I got my taper roller set from All Balls. I don't recall any great instructions but it was pretty clear what to do as each end and dust...

Today I was at Calne Bike Meet which is a free event (yes, free!! You read that right) where a few thousand bikers get together, just a...

Well, winter is well and truly over and I finally fitted a steering damper! Just finished the job, in fact .... not even road tested...

Good question. I thought it was related to the orifice diameter but maybe not so ... at least, not always! Hopefully the attached will...

Quite right, Pete. My friend who has an H1 has the standard damper fitted and he says it NEEDS it. I'm in the process of fitting one to...

A couple of weeks ago it was Le Mans classic, rode there on the Multistrada. 5 of us went and we all got bloody Covid which rather...

Happy birthday Jessee! I bought a Multistrada 1200S touring 10 years ago, still have it, just had the 30k miles belt service and leave...

Thanks Gary. That may well become solution #2 :)

Thanks, all. Jim's solution while typically lovely is somewhat more involved than I'm looking for and I don't have any spare bits of...

Nice job. The tacho with the idiot lights looks the same as on my SR500. Makes for a very tidy dash :)

Judging by what's in the Voltmeter Installation thread, the little LED meter I fitted when I rewired the bike over winter is the same as...

Wow, you really lucked out there! You WILL change the tyres though, won't you? They will be lethally dangerous after all that time no...

Summer solstice yesterday, and I rode to a Bath Riders Of Old Japanese Motorbikes pub meet at Tucker's Grave, an old cider house in...

I live in Witshire and around here we do have stone-built barns like this one and the one at Bradford on Avon that are from the 14th...

Not today, yesterday actually ... rigged a little test doodah to try a TCI unit I acquired from one of our members. It worked just...

Good luck! I did mine over last winter, and it takes a lot longer than you'd think. And costs a lot more, too. Worth it in the end...

That speedo looks awfully like KPH rather than MPH to me ... I hope you ordered one with the right units, that's a lot of dosh for what...
