Hi Fred,
That was the only thing Mick Grant used to do on the Kawa......flat out.
I miss seeing him and some of the old boys.

a job ive been putting of ,but realy glad i did`nt have a pint last night ,i got a fair few things done ,tree stumps out was main one, i knew that pressure vacume tester would have a few more uses ,so i silver solderd a old banjo bolt on t a bit of bsp thread ,bit horrified that it went t 8 barr on 5 of the pistons to get em moving (i wonder how many are just same),so a tadd stuck ,
does any one recomend a type of grease or product t smear round dust seal ?,or just rebuild and put into use ,fair play to martin and exup who offer a realy good service,i did it mesen and its not a afternoon job,does anybody recomend a master cylinder upgrade ?
