KwackerZ1, For me the top adjusters (preload & damping) will still work as I have extended the internals too. If you go back a bit on this thread, there are pictures. Pigster, Keith at KMKustoms is your man, there is a link to thier website earlier in this thread. They cost £100/pair + VAT, whi...

I have had very limited sucess with as piggy says, 'brittle' easy-out extractors. The seat is the part NOT to damage. I strongly agree with some of the earlier comments, ie; Soak with deisel or some other (plus gas] penetrating fluid for a good long time, and get some heat into the caliper body.... ...

Right then, bit of an update, hope you're sitting comfortably! Picked these up today http://i630.photobucket.com/albums/uu28/StevenLewisSharp/Fork%20Extensions/DSCN0803.jpg All the way home I was oggling 'em, thinking ooooer ......... they are beautifully made. I was a good boy, finished my day's wo...

That engine does look clean Bet your teeth don't look so good now though

Zed1015, Do it, Do it, Do it, you know you want to!! (eh Mick?)
Try n' record it 'Piggy' style, then post it for the rest of us to see, Please. Thankyou, Thankyou.

Once Again Zed1015, another piece of lateral thinking, inspirational work. Fantastic

Chris, that's got me wondering now.
Have you really cleaned up your garage, or just photoshopped out all the shite we could see in the pic's at the beginning of the thread

Right, had a go with the loctite gasket remover last night, it did help, but needed several applications & lot's of scraping. Tried the scalpel method, in conjunction with the loctite, again, lots of work/effort required. Resorted to Mikey's wire wheel method, this finished em off quite well, no...

Good to see things are starting to gain momentum.

Just been drooooolin' for the last ten minutes........ Lost for words

For what it's worth Brian, I think it looks good as a twin shock. But from my own experience there is no point carrying on the twinshock route if you are gonna look at it when it's done & wish you'd monoshocked it. If it's monoshock you want, then do it...... Yeah it's a load more work to do, bu...

Quality & Service. Mikey, meant to mention yesterday, if you need to have parts collected or delivered by courier, I have found http://www.interparcel.com offer a fantastic service. They have accounts with several large couriers, it's cheaper than the Post Office & they collect it from your ...

Good to meet you too Mikey, Found this after I met you, http://i630.photobucket.com/albums/uu28/StevenLewisSharp/Shepton%20Mallet/DSCN0797.jpg thought it might help Piggy with his starting problems :!: Talking of Piggy, I stopped of here http://i630.photobucket.com/albums/uu28/StevenLewisSharp/Shept...

TLC, Agreed, the building is a Big part for me, but I am gonna make the time/effort to ride my steed when it's all sorted. Mick, I am worried you might come across some floral print wallpaper, for your tank/panels & a bit of old shag pile to re-cover the seat :!: :!: :!: I am worried it might no...

TLC, Nice to hear you've been tempted to ''The Dark Side''. I look foward to the pic's of you with the angle grinder :!: :!: :!: As for powder coating, I have not had a ''bad experience'' & it would be my choice for calipers, as the interface with brake fluid/paint is never a good one, However I...
