What a lovely piece of kit, i`m one of the older members and can see that you really need to do just what you said earlier, get it sorted and put it away for a while, do use it though as it does need using.-Jockey. Thumbs Up Thumbs Up Very Happy

Looks more high-tech than my RM6, that had a bicycle front brake, you've got a drum Laughing

Mine did about 30mph and to be honest it was fine apart from vibrations. Just make sure you don't have your right pedal low when going around roundabouts Embarassed

Also loctite all the bolts as I lost a few including 1 of 2 that hold the fuel tank on, it nearly fell onto my back wheel. Only took me half a day to do as there aren't many bolts to start with.

Finding parts is hard and also finding tyres.

Not sure what tyres are on yours but I eventually sourced a rear tyre from these people.

Clicky

Also if you take it to an M.O.Ter expect dodgey looks Mr. Green It was funny when he asked me for my key Wink

I've had that problem afor when taking my Norton in, then they failed it at first cause they didn't manage to find the high/low beam switch Rolling Eyes,

though did consider handing them one of the HT leads instead....
