Tyres affter a while running with the catspaw treaded tyres I wanted to fit something akin to the original yokohama block pattern type, I eventually found them here http://www.vintagetyres.com/ The rear is Ensign Trials Universal 3.50 x 18 Front Mitas Trial ET-01 2.75 x 21 other possibilities are Heidenau K67 ? but you wont get a 4.00 in the back? so you'd need to stick with 3.50 Petrol tank cover and seat cover were both new old stock and you just dont see them often at all, they came from ebay Tank cover is CEET an American firm Seat cover is 'Chalks Racing'

How come she needed new rings,,,was she getting a little rattley or was she just due a set because of milage (every 10K ) pat Had a little 'nip' last year so i just thought i'd check the damage...it was pretty minimal with just a couple of rub marks on the piston, rings were changed as a matter of course
