"No problem mucker. We'll just do....bla blah"
Excellent!
The top shock mount needs relocating to where, hopefully, it needs to be.
We know there is a big issue in getting it in the right place, I'm finding it rather worrying but Phil seems to be un-fazed by it and thinks it'll be ok, so I'll stop worrying then.....ahh...Im still worrying.
We think we can use differant length dogbones on the linkage to help get the shock performing it's stroke correctly and also a built in ride height adjuster on the shock would be a great help.
I have be talking to Jordan Motorcycles, near Leatherhead, about sorting the right shock for the job, and I'm hoping we'll have one soon.We are keen to use jordans as they are at all the Thunderbike races, with their race service.
Steve has been scouring e-bay for a decent seat unit and has come up with a nice ow01 unit that looks like it will be suited to the FZ looks and keep her looking like a Yamaha. It's a bit pricey, but we need to get it quick, so Darren can get on with the subframe.The same goes for the shock.
So by the time the subframe and shock are sorted, the valve clearances should be done.
I'm sure i can find time to give the motor a coat of paint to tidy her up and then it should be time to get it back in the frame.
I am due at Mallory park on February the 18th, to do the CTC course (competence to compete),
so time is getting short. I can see the RSV coming out of the shed for that, which should be ok for the course, but, it's only 3 weeks later, and the Thunderbikes first race.......not too confident we'll make it at the moment!
Ok, I'll stop being negative.... smile..
