one more for the pot..!

Hope to be there
 

Hiya,
I hope to be there - enjoyed last year. Have mentioned it to a couple of 851 owners too trying to swell the ranks yet further.
Unfortunately BFM in Shipley decided to fail the discs at the MOT for being too loose :mad: . Despite repeating discussions with various people at Stafford Show who insisted that they shouldn't fail, I couldn't persuade BFM to change their opinion.
So, not having £520 spare notes I bought EBC ones instead and now John is struggling to fit them because they don't seem right for the bike - something about getting in the way of the Speedo cable.
So, if I can get this fiasco sorted out I will be joining you - if not, I think it would be just too sad to turn up on my GPZ500
If anyone has any experience/tips about fitting EBC's to a Superlight I would be really grateful to hear from you.

I'd like to go but Luthor needs Tax and an MOT so...watch this space :)

Judi...Hope you can go. Someone was havin the same problem on here not so long back...it was to do with fully floating though...again too much play!!!! (?)

you are not alone with this problem, many off us have suffered with it, I renewed the bobbins even though i didnt need to and went to another mot station that knew what they were doing, problem solved.
it's not just SL owners that are afflicted by this problem, it affects any duke fitted with the cast iron 10 bobbin full floating disk. SL's SP SPS's etc. if it full floats its going to shake rattle & roll.
it pays to be persistant with the mot's. providing the disk your going to retro fit are the same size and offset, and thickness , you should.nt have any probs fitting them.

Yippee - good vibes at last that I might be able to make the 9th @ JHP :D


Can anyone post this event up on the DOC site at all please ???

Looking at the first post, is 9th June still the date?

If so, although my social calendar is usually fairly thin :rolleyes:, I am double-booked that day.
