Simon, The under seat fule tank looks like it's very close to the substitute suspension. Is there enough space there for the shock?
Val.
Val.
yes
we've give 1 1/4 either side of the bar, the shocks are about 3inch so we should have about 1/4 to spare. the original units ran very close to the tank.

Early night tonight
I'm up at 5.30 to set off for 6am to go and collect camille. Can't wait to see what all the bits look like together
can't wait to see the shocks in place and if my rule of thumb measurements are right
Oh and I've a few extra Straps and stuff to tie her down with

Si, Screw 10 inch battons either side of the wheels. This will stop the bikes tyres creeping sidways under the sterss of the tiedowns as the trailer bumps along the road.
Val.
No can do
It's a hired trailer and he wouldn't be happy with me screwing stuff into the floor. What I'm going to do is set the bike at an angle and use the tie bars to wedge it into place the strap it down. I'll remove all the painted bits so nothing can be damaged. Once back home a day of filling and rubbing down and a day of painting should have everything ready for assembly.

The forks do look a bit odd that way round though. Val.
Yer but
I'm still at work and won't finish till past 12 midnight.
Do feel a bit of a prat about the forks as I just hadn't noticed.
