Not since it was welded, didn't you read the posts?

It was cracked around the swingarm pivot causing a big oil leak, but that's solved.

Ah right. Nope, just skim-read the posts... it was a bit wall-of-text. Any chance you could space it out a bit?

Not much to carry on with currently. The frame is in my utility room with the first bits of paint drying over the bare patches. If it comes out nice enough I'll give the whole thing a coat of it.

I'll try to put up some stories of where it's been if you want, her biggest moment of disgrace was the clutch falling off while on the Dublin ring road heading back to the ferry. I can kind of forgive her that though as she lasted a week longer than my ex's Sportster that tried to throw it's exhaust away several days earlier.

This interests me greatly. Carry on.

I got a reply from the engineering place this morning. Seems it's about £800 of work which isn't as bad as I feared, but they've got a 2-3 month wait. I'll get it all sent off anyway, the sooner it's with them, the sooner it'll come back after all.

It seems that everyone has stripped their bike down recently & such places are busier than normal, who'd have thought it?

Good to hear engineering shops are keeping busy, let's hope that continues. Cottage industry is the future!

Is it pronounced Amal as in Anal... or Amal as in M ammal ?

Post by **Hooli** » Thu May 14, 2020 5:10 pm

I've always said 'Am-al'.
