I re-done the forks today, as I made a pig's ear of it during the week. This time I used shell advanced 15w oil, which feels very nice. They feel as if there is quite a bit more resistance than the standard 10w. I will have to wait to get on the road though.
I seem to have lost my white grease. Does anyone know if copper grease can be used on axle rod's? I have not relubed the shaft yet (tee hee hee), so I want to check first.
I also finished painting the radiator. I had already done the sides and piping, but the fins had quite a bit of pitting. So I gave them a double coat of black engine spray paint. Came up ok, and a definite improvement.
Motorbreath - The spacer, number 3 in the picture, is 183mm. I forgot to measure the spring, sorry mate. But I'm not sure if they are original or not.

Not quite sure what to do with my early mid-life crisis. Ideas on a post card to P.O.BOX 150...
