If you still need a hub I may have one going spare and you're welcome to borrow my clutch tool as well!

[Col996s]

Thanks Antony. I have a hub and now have the old one off and apart. I have had a holding tool made at work but thanks anyway.
I have most parts now. Just need a rear brake lever.

I've now got the bike back together but there is something I don't understand.
Now I can't operate the steering lock (turning left) as it hits the adjustable stop. I'm 99% sure that it worked before my off.
The bike went down on the RHS and broke the RHS bar which I have replaced. I just replaced the bar leaving the existing clamp in place.
I am worried that I have bent something but I can't see what.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Sorry to hear of your off Col, hope you have recovered?

I'm pretty sure the steering lock is just a pin that moves into a hole around the steering head, hopefully, just have a look for a displaced cable around the steering tube that is stopping the pin from latching.

good luck

Not sure if you've got a bent steering stop - common when dropped and easy to do - as this may stop the steering from locating correctly. Worth checking to see if it all lines up correctly.

[Col996s]

Thanks Ant, I'll check.

Also not posted for a long long time, but still look in on a regular basis. Sorry to hear of your bad luck Col. Hopefully you get everything sorted and life moves on, tough at times !-)
