Re: Valve stem oil seals and valve seal conditioners
Not sure I see how this works. If a seal is worn what does do? Increase viscosity? Fill the gap?(risk of clogging the oil galleries). Make the seal swell? (Then it will do this to all the seals)

Re: Bikes For Sale
Bill,
whilst I could afford it the following divorce would wipe me out. I have too many toys already I am told I'll do the raffle for the unregistered T160 from Museum instead. Good luck with the sale.

Re: Speedo accuracy
Cable is new. Checked it seems good. There’s no physical join between the needle and the drive cable it’s moved by magnetic eddy currents so even if the cable sticks the needle should fall to zero. My reasoning is as the spring holds the needle back to give the right spring if it breaks or weakens t...

Re: Speedo accuracy
