Hi all, I see that some of the rubber bushes and dampers etc are available, any idea on where I can find those that aren't listed on the parts diagrams. EG the rubber on the swingarm. Many thanks. Pete

Hi Mez, thanks for getting back to me, I have had some 3d printed locally to me. Cheers. Pete

Sorry to be apain do you have a shot of the other side please. Ta Pete

Do you have a picture of the inside of the clutch housing, I cannot see the end of the bronze bushing as it is covered by what looks like another 1mm spacer. Is that a part of the housing?

I have just checked the mainshaft endplay, it is over 0.7mm = @0.027.5 inch

I will try and get some pix for you and the clutch basket is inmodified.
