Now you can see how I had so many problems with purveyors of "cable - fits DT100, 125, 175, 250, 400 1974 on".

The forward extension on the front fenders of those early monoshock bikes appears to be about a third again what I have on my twin shock DTs.
It really stands out in that photo of your blue beauty! Or maybe it’s the magnifying glass that Mark mentioned…

Took little yeller out for another spin this morning for about five miles. Still a hoot, still a sweet motor and still nothing untoward.  Everything appears to be working as it should.

Guess this is the very end of this thread.  Hope you enjoyed it.

I have a commission to repair a vintage watch for a workmate, so change of use of space.  He is the guy who took me 100 miles to pick up little yeller when I bought it, and refused payment; so I owe him one.
It was his grandmothers watch and is been given to his daughter to wear on her wedding day in a couple of months.
Hope I don't screw it up.

Workbench latterly filled up with oily motorcycle parts is now suitable for rather more delicate parts.


A quick regulation of my weekend daily wearer to get my hand back in (Seiko NH35A movement).. Surprising how hard it is to reaquire muscle memory.  I was very clumsy.  All deftness gone.  Got there in the end though.


Even less space than before now I am sharing with two onlookers..

 

I hope the demon you exercised out of old blue isn’t floating about.. looking for a new mechanism to haunt!
