    It was a bootiful day here in Longleat so I took the DT out for a razz around the lanes.

  4. Took the Scrambler to someone I know for a bit of help to get a base set up on the new suspension. Nearly there but bought the wrong weight fork springs. Not a biggy for now but might get the lighter weight springs for Christmas :D Andy

  8. That looks like a round part with good access? You might want to get some emery cloth tape, which will sort that out nicely. Its easy to do with one wrap around & holding the two ends to make a pulling back and forward motion.

    Leaves a nice brushed look, so you could spray some clear over afterwards? I've done this a few times on fork lower legs and had great results.

  12. Prepared it for a day out on Saturday, it’s been a while since I’ve had a decent ride out. It’ll probably piss down with rain now.
     
  13. @Jackyboyhyper was cleaning the paint from the Alu spacers with a Dremel - in situ...

  14. Not entirely, I had pulled it away with the spindle partly removed. The bike needs a clean still anyway from the recent trip

  15. Stripped a Multistrada DVT down for a desmo service.
    If you have one of these POS, never complain about servicing costs, or conversely remove all of the crap yourself and hire a van to take it for service.
    And when you put it back together do not overtighten the screws that go into the captive nuts in the tank or you will be in a world of hurt.
