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!!!

Really nice just like the bike I first learned to ride, would love mine to be that good,

Is that a piece of hose around the side stand? gona copy that, will stop the stand from bashing the passenger foot peg,

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.
