Might be too big. Has it been rebored?

Seriously, I think it's only about 240k file size allowed.

Yes i resized it as i normally do but after i select a photo the bit that says ' place inline ' seems to be missing?

Use a free photo sharing website. I use Flickr.com
Upload your images there. Include a link to those pics in your posts here.
Those site are easy to work with.

Eve Alan Chain & sprockets done.didnt take shocks top mounting off.just pulled out of back after removing chain adjusters.front sprocket was like new so left it.got the new one for another day,far in the future ! Changed some of the bolts as had to stainless while i was at it.it took two and half hours and no swearing

.nxt job is to check head bolt torque settings as just about to hit 2k miles.she seems to be running well.

Eve Alan ,was out most of Tue with old mate.he has a selection of machines but happened to be on his XSR900.he followed me until not far from home and passed me .by the time i had changed down he had gone but did wait up road.i know you cant really compare but the diff of 44/45 years is quite a shock.having said that i think i had more smiles per miles !

Hi vulcanman i recently joined the forum and with interest reading your post regarding your GT550A the pics you have posted of the H2 Kwak is the reg CTV 382K by any chance if so that's my mates old un i got pictures of that bike outside my house

Iv'e raced that many a time on my 550 guess what he could never leave me

He used to get off his Kwak and mumble Kin'ell that shifts for a 550 doh it

When i get use to posting some pics i put them on

Cheers Dave
