Low personal B.M.E.P.
Your pivot point for the link looks stiffer than the XR69. Worth it if you're going to carry a pillion.
I've found that nearly all the monoshocks now are based around a 2 : 1 motion ratio.
If you go away from this to any extent, it's oddball spring rates - and a revalve of the shock.
Bob - FFS, points ? I'd be putting a Pertronix module in there with a rotor with four magnets at 90 degrees - it's half engine speed right ?
A twin lead coil - and you'd never have to touch it again.

FFS, magneto
It's a matching numbers minter, some future rivet counter will appreciate my resolve not to cave in.
Although I've never experienced a better ride from any bike based on matching numbers alone. Bloody anoraks.

sorry , I wasn't implying anything at all
mad thou rider
Doesnt take too much. Practice mostly.
The polytech courses (night class down here, I assume the same available wherever you are) are actually pretty good for those just wanting to learn to weld. The one down here covers mig tig and stick, so you arent limited.
Theres some really good channels for welding if you wanna get better by youtube / trial. heres three channles that cover heaps:
Weldingtipsandtricks - channel on youtube, covers bit of everything, mig, stick, tig, positions and tips that make life easier, answers questions, etc
6060.com on youtube pretty much all aluminium on tig, but worth looking at
This old Tony (TOT) on youtube. does machining / welding (mostly tig) but heaps of info, and quite funny too.
my experience of teaching others to weld, is that theyre usually only doing one or two small things slightly wrong, and it doesnt take much to help them improve.
plus what the fuck else ya gonna do on lockdown?

No, no. I think you misunderstand. Drew especially likes to be abused.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

Don't ever apologise to that cunt
It's true, he does
I took the front wheel out of the BSA to work out how to fit the TLS front brake as it's going to require a few little mods but looks like it'll be easier than I thought, if anyone has a 1/2 width hub from an A65 it'd be even easier though as apparently they are slightly wider
While doing that I found one of the forks a bit reluctant to move through it's travel, so I pulled them out as well, I'll see if the tool I have will get the seal holders off and get them stripped tomorrow

Damper rod, we don't need no stinking damper rod

did you use the broom handle method to take the forks apart
i remember there being a trick with some DIY tool maybe a pipe with a cutout or something

You can buy the two way damper rods from SRM
Don't need a broom handle if it doesn't have a damper rod
I have a proper tool for removing the sealholders

Pipe wrench?
Something involving a large hammer?
Geez he's hard on gear. . . .

from a old memory (that may be wrong), it was a tool like honda one for for the oil filter only longer its use involved a lot of swearing and yelling from my dad.
it was worse than bleeding brakes with him, his was homemade.
Warwicks right, the broomstick was on the jap damper rods, with frantic turning of the bolts on pre electric impact guns eras
We had a rattle gun but that was reserved for the Flywheel nuts

You could use those and yes I am, but correct tools make life a lot easier

Got busy stripping the Multistrada today. Removed the airbox which on this model is integral with the throttle bodies, injectors and wiring/fuel lines. So it has many connections on the outside. 1x fuel line, 3x electrical plugs, 2x map sensor hose connections, 2x map sensor electrical connections, 2x crankcase breathing system connections and 1x airbox drain hose. And when you have all these disconnected, and you have removed several brackets, then you can start the wrestle of the knuckleskins! Is without doubt the most frustrating bit of motorcycle spannering I have done to date.
I pulled my Monster 996 apart in december and it was a piece of piss in comparison.
