A little help please.The washer in the image below.

According to the manual there should be a washer on both sides of the rim but I only took one off.Can someone please have a look at their front wheel and confirm if there is one or two and if only on which side it is on.

Thanks
Andrew

Let's clean up that rear axle.

That's better.....

.....the only problem is it's not a Ducati part.It's the front axle off a Honda XR400 :banghead:

.Never mind,it's clean now :lol:

Ok then,let's try again.

A bit better.

I don't think these have been on anything lately.

I love my wire wheel.

More cleaning.

New front and rear sprokets....

....but I'm not sure about this.The nolt holes on the old sproket are quite recessed.

Whereas on the new one the are shallower and not flat on the bottom.

Any ideas about this.For now I'll put the old sproket on with the old locknuts.

I'll tackle this next.I would have started today but I could'nt get the brake caliper bolts undone.

A bit of penetrine overnight and I'll give it another go tomorrow.I cleaned a little bit and I think it will come up ok.

Until next time :beer:

Cheers
Andrew

just wondering as there was a topic in the 907ie forum a while ago; you still have the compliance plate for your frame, do you ?

Mate, Metalgear makes a nice stainless steel rotor for our wheels. No more rusty rotors. Really well priced too. Find 'em on eBay. I've just done my bike front and back coz I was sick of the rust. Got some nice sintered pads from them as well. So glad I did.
Trust me, it's well worth it.

She hasn't had a good clean for a while.

But it's coming up ok.

I've now got the back wheel on so It's time to move it to the middle of the shed for better access.

I also got the rear caliper and footrest hanger/controls mounted.

Ready to move.

More soon.

Cheers
Andrew

Me again, I hope you don`t mind

Did you check the valve clearance before putting the engine in the frame ? It would have been easier accessible.

Some serious cleaning needed here.

The paint's not looking too sharp either.

The foam seems ok though.

Best pull it apart and do it right :dunno:

.

A coat of paint does wonders...

....and the instruments cleaned up ok.There's a bit of paint coming off the clock surround but I can live with that for now.

Next....

Not too bad.I may strip it completely and paint the heim joints black.....nah :roll:

Temporarily fitted.

If the paint is dry I'll fit the instrument/headlight bracket tomorrow.Stay tuned....all 3 of you :lol:

.

Cheers
Andrew
