    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
     
  5. Springs arrived, so finshed the clutch and went out to test... all good! Phew...:)

  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...
