Retapped the thread and fitted new adjuster with plenty of copper slip. Then just as was finishing dropped the bike on it's side - crash bungs helped, but broke mini indicator and new clutch lever - Bollox
Another handy hint is to be sure your side stand is DOWN when lowering the machine from the race stand as well...came close once.!

At least I'm not missing much, howling gales and driving rain do not good riding weather make, am quite looking forward to trying out the new Michelins.

Fitted to the wheel with usual new valves, ballancing and all the rest it set me back £250 the pair - Ouch!
