I now have everything I need to do the swing arm, I am going to have a ring round on Monday and see how quickly I can get it turned around if I want it powder coated.

They look good, it will be interesting to see how they last.

I emailed them and offered to send it back if they send me a post paid label.

We are on our second week of rain.

The quality on KOYO seems to be slipping.

I just realised they sent five wheel bearings instead of four.

Got the new swingarm bearings today, also got a full compliment of SKF wheel bearings for the new wheels, I have to say they seem better quality than the KOYO.

Here’s to border force not letting you back in to the country.

I just keep cleaning and gapping plugs until they show signs of physical breakdown.

Well good on you and your better half for giving them a home and a family.

Is she adopted?

Did it only have one pedal?

Are you painting the fork lowers?

Insurance for kids is crazy expensive these days. I almost feel guilty only paying £130 a year for mine….almost.

Her insurance premium isn’t going to go down anytime soon.

I wonder if it has fixed the rattle?

It has rails that sit under the frame and a couple of stabilising hooks, the Harley has a double cradle frame, you can get different mounts for different types of bike.

So where are you then?

I think it is a rebranded Moulton.

Worked for me.

I’m pretty sure the current motor they use is a Chinese built derivative of the Yamaha lump they used on the earlier bikes, regardless of if they fold or not, I suspect the bikes will continue to be made but possibly under a different name. It would make a good addition to some other brand that only has mega expensive bikes like Norton for example.

Stealing pictures off instagram again?

If it is a hydraulic tensioner you can usually unload it while the bike is running and then release it to see if it takes up the tension.

Odds are it is the cam chain tensioner then, have you checked to see if it is tensioning? There is usually some sort of simple test.
