I remember the chat but not your bike. What colour is it? Yes/No my clutch is a good un, belt drive and all. Did take a couple of years to get right once I'd replaced the Dommie actuating arm with a Commando part. Only problem is the expansion of the drum when it gets hot, which gives lots of play at the lever.spoke to you about your bike when you were waiting to go on the track. It looks well and by the look of your tacho, it wasn't slipping it's clutch like mine did on the track.
Good fun though and i'll have my roadster in better nick next time!
The fairing you have, is it Norvil item?
The fairing is from Mick H. It's not from the same mould as the Norvil and does have a pronounced droop to the sides which kind of spoils the lines but it does the job. The main bracket is a one-off from Mick and takes both Veglia clocks (mine) and Smiths. It sits the fairing a lot higher than Norvils and did take a lot of juggling to get the bars and brake pipe to clear everything. But it does give more lock than the Norvil setup though the main headlight mount only lasted 600 miles before it fractured. The side mounts are also poor, regularly needing rewelding and need beefing up.
On Gino's comments I see what he's saying but for me the 300 mile day ride was worth it. If I'd gone for the weekend I probably would have expected more. These events are what you make of them really. He's right about wobbling around though!! We're not all born racers.......Sorry guys I thought it was a big dissapointment! Nil organisation or facilities and no "mass Norton" run or display which to me was a major drop off! I'm afraid a bunch of guys wobbling round Donnington didn't do it for me
