Front ISO of course was easy, cleaned, silicon lubed new rubbers, all went together easily.
The rear we did totally in frame, nothing removed, except the dave taylor head steady released from the top frame tube.
Bike on lift holding front tire in grips, no centerstand used, small floor jack to move motor up and down.
Dug the ten year old rubbers out, slathered new rubbers with lube, and everything went back together in about two hours.
WHAT a difference of the ride home, felt like my 750s of thirty five years ago, real smooth at 2700 and up.
The old rubbers were hard, would not compress much, the new ones are nice and soft, that is the key.
Used the new nylon washers supplied by Phil at Fair Spares, greased them and the endcaps.
All in all, was surprised at how easily the job went, and very pleased with the result!
