Meet....Bumble!

Post by Pete. »

I just bought this yesterday. Kids have already nick-named it Bumble for obvious reasons. The engine and box are nicer than the other one and it rides and stops better too. Got a couple of small niggles to sort but overall I'm quite happy with it.

That looks very much like my old bike ... If it has plain black on white instrument faces, it definitely is.

Very nice!

If you described the colour-scheme to people - they would say "What? That must look weird!"

But - it just works!

Looks to be in good nick too.

Yes I guess it's your bike Mike. I was wondering about the story behind the black faces - did you change them? Did you also run the grease line to the swing-arm bushes?

That line is probably the bleed nipple line for the clutch slave cylinder

I never got on with the yellow and black dial faces, so I designed my own in a more classic style. You should have got the originals as well with the bike?

I fitted the Motorworks improved swing arm bearings which have a grease nipple in each side, so they just need a pump of grease at each service.

PM me if you want any more service history etc
