Cheers Paul, but I'm not trying anything on Alan's fork, I really must find another pair if I want to race at Cadwell.

Well, I've already been ridiculous trying to fit my front brake: I was beaten by a pair of forks.

Nevermind, I'm not sure the front brake is needed to have a bike Dyno'd (that's not an MOT...), let's try to fit the rear one

Let's say I've been even more ridiculous: after having poured 3/4 of the DOT can through the reservoir, there is still no way it will stop my rear wheel
I was sure to be following the good procedure: fill in the reservoir, pump, pump, pump and hold it, undo the drain bolt, look at the pipe, do the bolt back. Check liquid level in the reservoir, pump, pump, pump again, etc...

I give up.

I will race without brakes.

If in doubt - hit it - hmmmm. Hey Tonio have you removed the socket in the wheel spindle yet ? - Finally got ours out last week thanks to gas cooker and loads of WD

Yep, got it a long time ago, kick in the fork and it went

Boy am I glad I'm not in your race!!!

same problem I had last year at Cadwell which caused me to crash in one race and pull out of the other two.
Fixed by recessing the fork bush futher by taking a stepped cutter to the fork leg, I also made up a slightky narrower speedo replacement spacer just in case but didn't use it.

Wheel spacers? Done it myself recently when I was tired and working late. Easily done.

Same here when fiting the twin disc setup.

Hope you're OK, didn't end up on your Assen, and that the forks didn't get away with it.

I'm sure those forks are trapped... It's a try to put me aside of the races... Well done Knight RR team, that's tricky

I think you should put the spanners down and step away from the motorcycle!
