Kylie there are push bike ones that STM is talking about that would be good and prevent the Orange ride chaff problem
They are the ones I was talking about on the phone

The others I mentioned early in this thread are the block thicker pad Ballard ones

Just thinking I reckon the tighter jeans wouldn’t help you cause either, ever think about that?

What sort of adjustment are they, are they bucket and shim?

The guy doesnt mention if its any good, nor to you need to move your arse as much backwards or forwards on a road bike from my experience.

All you can do is let mister thrifty loose and keep us posted if anyone can Dan will do it

So today was the big drill the broken stud out of the barrel day.
First I drilled the small pilot hole and got it right in the centre happy days, stepped up a couple of drill sizes and tried a small easy out no good. Drilled up another of sizes, whilst doing this the engine rolls forward and snaps the drill bit of in the barrel :angry: . So I go and get a bundy I get a small centre punch and shatter the drill bit, and finish drilling it. Select next size easy out and it snaps off :angry: An inspection shows the easy out was already fractured :blink: But it had a little bit sticking out and came straight out It was the Bundy So I drilled it out in steps and tapped it to the correct size

Before

After

So I fitted the swing arm

Fitted the front end, regreased and repacked the headset and triple clamps front guard handle bars etc

Got the barrel and cylinder head painted

Tomorrow I will get the engine finished and back in the frame. The tank has to go to be restored yet. The front wheel needs some extensive clean up work and I am waiting on a care package from the new owners that I will get this weekend

Another funny event from this ride involving moto’s antics;
He lent me the tom tom for sunday, I asked whether he would need it to get home semi sarcastically but he brushed it off.
He left before me and I passed me on the way out going the wrong way :laugh:.

Its not long ago that two strokes won all the major long distance races where they got held wide open for extended periods ie: Finke, Hattah, Baja etc to name a few. It wont matter a big rats rectum if it runs 50 to 1 or 25 to 1 if its not jetted correctly. If its jetted to lean it wont matter what oil mixture you run. If its sucking air between the carburettor and the cylinder head again wont matter what mixture you run.

If it is jetted to hold it wide open you can hold it wide open its simple and fact.
