For the record
My grandfather was Mo, his sister was Flo, my uncle was Stan, my ex is Carrie, my late dog was Harry and we considered Wanda and Keil for the kids. And to cap it all I have an Aunt called Eileen!

And all you could come up with was 'Ben'. How original

 

[Mutley]

Genius, thank you on two points:

1. It will be soooo much easier to replace the wheel
2. Showing me I am not alone in finding this to be a real of a job

Ok time for my dumb-question-of-the-day: Will these work on an F800GS?

Thanks

The old ones are always the best - bet you need to be careful when drunk!!

Just ordered mine too, Cheers John.

Not bought anything from you since my Blackbird days, your wares were always top quality then, your standards dont seem to have slipped any

Arrived today John, many thanks.

Ran out of the first batch on Tuesday but had some space on the lathe late yesterday and my man managed to run off another batch, so all those ordered yesterday are on the way to you ( should be there tomorrow or Saturday with luck )

Does not the F8 have a 'normal swing arm and wheel spindle set up ?
prety sure it does, in which case this little gadget will not be a lot of help I am afraid

Just bought one but forgot to mention my Tosser's name - but as I live just down the road from you I'm sure you'll give me a 'Suffolk' discount for this forgetfullness.

 

[Jaws]

Casper, hand delivered this morning to you !

Just ordered mine.... the voices made me do it.......

 

[Jaws]

I know where those voices come from.. they are the wind blowing through the old Cambells Soup factory !

Is it just me or does anyone else find they're wheel fitting widget too long at 115mm.

I've screwed it into the bolt hole at the 12'oclock position, hung the spacer shim onto it and offered the wheel up but the wheel won't pass between the exhaust and the end of the gadget or more accurately the angle at which it needs to lean is too steep to pass the wheel over the widget.

By my reckoning it needs to be a good 30mm shorter. Seems a shame to just hack the end of this as it's a nicely made bit of kit.

 

[Jaws]

Weird ! Worked ok on number one sons but I have learned a long time ago that BMW's tend to vary from bike to bike !!!!

Anyone got this issue and want one made, say, 35mm shorter, send em back and it shall be done

 

[Popeye]

I'll pop it in the post for shortening Thanks.

As I said it's too nicely made to just take a hacksaw and file to it

 

[Jaws]

Tis not a problem at all
