Hi to all
I've just become the owner of a 750 Roadster, yellow with f'glass tank, numbers suggest 73 with 72 engine.
It has later disc brake forks, stanchion chrome is a bit worn but seals aren't leaking, so I was going to fit rubber gaiters.
Arrived today, in 'Norton 'packaging - but ID of lower end to fit over seal cover is only 44mm, seal cover ID is 57 mm OD.
Vendor of gaiters says heat it up and it'll fit [they would!] but I am pretty sure the gaiter will kink around the bottom belows if I stretch the bottom that much.
They say there is only one type, to fit an 850, so I can't have the wrong ones [heard that before..]
Anyone know of this problem?
Suggestions of what gaiter will fit without stretching the bejeesuz out of it?
Advice most welcome......
