Moderator DirtyDT Posted May 19, 2012 Moderator Share Posted May 19, 2012 Not bottom end rumbles again. It reminds me of Squires. Great story mate. In '76 I was riding about on a TS90, soon after changed to a GT250 Ramair. Oh happy day's!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEV Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 A cracking job on the bike John, nice one, as for the clutch basket you do get a little play in the base cog plate as it has cush rubbers sandwiched inside, 2mm would be classed as normal play any more than that would be classed as excessive, can't re-rivet either new/second hand basket needed mate.
