I took the caster rods out last night, they are rooted. The steel sleave in the drivers side bush just falls out, and the passengers side has a 2mm gap all the way round. We thought the bushes were stuffed, but didn't realise how bad they were.

How will you adjust if you use the genuine ones mate?

Not adjust them, I think them not moving is better than being able to adjust them. When Berry was down a few years ago, he was saying how much better new genunine bushes are then whiteline etc

Most of the stuff is bolted back up to it now, and the block in nice and silver.

Aim is to have it ready for the Legerwood Lane hillclimb on the 29th.

I've blocked one of the oil galleries, and fitted a 1.3mm restrictor to the other one (as per sydney kids guide). Not running a external return from the head at this stage, as most poeple that have done it found it doesn't drain very well. I have also put rb26 cam covers on to help the oil/air separation.

How easy does it stretch? ie does it go on and off easy, so you can work on the car?

    • Nah, shouldn't have made any difference. Reds on, or car running, should be same same for what you were doing.

    • Oh bugger ! Your right ! Good old hydrogen sulfide. Takes me back to the good old school days ! 
    • I've owned a few scooters over the years, a Vespa PX oil burner was my first scooter, followed by a few others, including a little 50cc BeeWee that I used as a barracks bike, and I've had a blast on all of them, they really are the cheapest for of city/suburb transport around The only issue with scooters in Australia is lots of people look down on them due to their size,  maybe they need a big bike to make up for something else where they are lacking, unlike Europe and Asia where every man an their dog owns one, and now that filtering is legal in NSW, local traffic is never a issue Not to say I haven't owned my share of big cc bikes over the years, but they were for more blasting through the hills or Hwy riding where it needed to sit on Hwy speeds Safety wise, I ride like everyone is always trying to kill me, everyone is running a red, or running stop/give way signs, or generally asleep at the wheel, which most people are duringtheir commute, I also ride really safe, and give myself, and everyone else enough room in case I need to pull some hasty evasive actions, I've done a few rider training days over the years, which has come in handy on more than a few occasions  As for mods, there's nothing really, and yes your right about aftermarket exhaust, all you get is loud and obnoxious noises from them, like every 250-300 cc you hear with a aftermarket muffler, in saying this I did put a rear muffler from a 125 Aprilla on one of my old 125 scooters, it was horrendous and no amount of full face helmet and ear plugs would dampen that noise As for coming from the Harley, and what a overpriced POS that was, I no longer do big rides as my poor old busted joints ache after about 1/2 an hour of riding, long cruises are so much more enjoyable now in a car, so a big bike would be pointless
