I'm sure the 150 would be OK for the day. I've got a used 150/70 B 17 M/C TL if you wanna try it. And there's the 4.60 - 17 M/C 68P TT for the front

Conti TKC's do 130/80-17, and probably a narrower 17 for the front.

There's a Pirelli Scorpion 17" rear available that you can run reversed.

Nobody does a 180.

The Conti is a 75% profile - I doubt that the outside diameter would be much different. That 140/80 x 80 thing (Mitas?) that was on Collies bike would probably be better.

Almost didnt make it as the pumper diaphragm in the carb died the Sunday prior and thanks to raiding Skinny Birdman's TTR, ES managed to get it back together just before we left on Thursday night. While doing the CCA something blocked the pilot jet so it wouldn't idle for the ride back down. Few turns on the idle speed adjuster fixed this - about 2500/3000 rpm for a lumpy cam sounding idle

Great pics guys, looks like it was awesome fun. Wish I could have been there, but at least part of my bike made it.

Yep, I got stuff to put up as soon as I can, been stuck working late every day since the ride home, and for another day or so yet, then hope to get a better look at what I've got.

Must say thanks to everyone involved. Was a good day out.
Special thanks to John F. for bringing it all together.
Cheers
TA.

Well yeah, matter of opinion, I find reading these pages with the thumbnails a whole lot easier on my eyes and mouse hand, then click on the pics you want, and as you've put no link I presume you meant Clint's thread over there - not much added there since I last looked but great to see everyone's pics all the same.
