Pete would love that shit

Great shots @Saul , you have so many go to places down there

I just had a look at the Honda parts list, you are right Ian, the lock ring sits above the oil seal. Obviously different to my Suzuki

No retaining ring above the oil seal on the donkey , just one above the dust seal ......

Nah she was fine, that’s just her resting bitch face.

She does look in the best of moods.

3 of us old codgers went out today plus Shadow. Run up to North Cornwall, Otterham Station, Slaughter Bridge, Tintagel, Boscastle and Camaford. I managed to save Shadow from being dragged into the Witches Museum, oh and apparently: “I’m not fucking funny at all” according to her.

Fourth day here now and no sign of the fucking maid yet ..

Do they sell Guinness

There is usually an oil seal with a retaining ring above it that sits in its own groove, if that retaining ring is in the dust cover groove then the dust covers won’t seat properly.

Not for me , I liked it when it was just in a field. Far too big and corporate now

Did you put that fence up Phil ? have you left a gap to get the bike through ?

You'd love it there Pedro, lots of great roads and history in the area plus you won't find better hosts

It's shit there , don't bother ............... more chances for me to go then

Is there some sort of metal ring that sits on top them and into a groove in the fork leg ?

I’m planning on doing mine, the problem is that by the time you pay someone to them you very quickly approach the price of new ones.

Took out Shadow to get her chin up. Missing her freedom on her CB125F.

look at that breakfast it looks good enough to eat

Get in …….

Dry everything before pushing the dust covers home. I've been using hamerite for the lower stations for years but the last couple of times it seems to chip off much easier than it used to. Be interesting to hear how the wheel paint lasts, should be good in theory.

I will see what mine is next month.

I'm not to worried about that really, car wheel paint has always lasted well for me on several projects over the years. Also I keyed the surface well and made sure it was spotless so I have given it every chance to have a lasting finish. But you never know. Like I said you can always do a better job. Best IMHO would be media blasted lowers sprayed with top quality two pack paint from the gun, done in a booth. Probably overkill for an 18 year old CBF600 and I wince at the thought of the cost. . Horses for courses.
