Right, decided to take some breaks from the pooter and do my GS.
Happy to say, all done, fixed, running and with fabricated / fixed hoodsticks and new tilt, re-installed the LPG, rewired, made things 'work' - whey hey! Only took a couple of Warren days and about two weeks of all my own free time ;-)
Now, just been and got some XZLs (900x16) to replace the teflon barslips, these are slightly bigger than the barslips, and although the tyres are tubeless, the rims aren't, so I'll prolly need to get some new innertubes as I suspect using the existing ones will not be a good idea.
Are these fairly standard in commercial tyre places? (I'll have a ring around tomorrow). The club does them, but I intend putting the new tyres on next Monday and doubt the club could provide them that quickly being as there's stock taking and "etc" going on.
Anyway, runs like a dog on LPG (I have various cheap ideas on fixing this - green scrubber anyone?), and like a rocket on petrol, 70mph on the Chesterfield bypass on the GPS - (with more there if I had the bottle) - I was _very_ happy with that (the speedo is slightly under calibrated, I'm hoping the new tyre diameter will bring it about right). Only thing that threw me, before I put the new tilt on, I rolled the old one up onto the roof above the cab, and at around
65mph...... it unrolled itself in the wind ;-)
