Transformation (nearly) complete

Guess I picked it up from here :- viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5946&p=36530&hilit= ... ngs#p36530

Yes, I know it's been covered before, but having just removed the rear wheel bearings in about 5 minutes, I have to repeat how easy the "expansion bolt" method is.

Not finished yet, but more finished than it was before!

Thanks for the comments/help. Answering some points :- Correct seals? Yes, in that they came in Honda packaging with the correct Part Number. Grooves are clean Will they go in after freezing? Yes I think they will, but I was unsure how they would retract in use. Then I read this :- http://books.goog...

Any help on this appreciated :D I have removed the pistons from front and rear brakes (with extreme difficulty), cleaned up caliper recess and grooves (with small Dremel brush), fitted new seals and tried to push the pistons back in (smeared with silicone grease). So bloody tight! (also carefully cl...

Hi, I have a Mk1 also, in Palawan. Where are you?

old baz, do you work at qmc? i only ask because i have seen that maico before! Sorry for the late reaction. :roll: Only place you could have seen it is on the Isle of Wight 2 or 3 years ago.

BTW, did you just cut off the mounting tube for the "low oil" sender and weld a piece over it?

Eagle eyes again
Had to have a look at Google images to spot the difference. More robust in design?
But it does touch the clutch cover, going to have to sort that after I paint it!

Cheers

Hi Mark, I think I get your point on the swinging arm bolt it could be seized to the bushes - but the bushes are turning? I had hoped not to take out the bolt yet because I have to try to get the bike together again to take it for an emissions test (otherwise I can't get change of ownership done). B...

Had quite a good day yesterday, despite the 32C heat :roll: Found that the swinging arm bolt turns, so hopefully will come out. Regarding the seat height, I can drop the front by at least 30cm, and I'm having new longer dog bones made to lower the rear. ( the length is only relevant to my bike with ...
