Bit of a weekend update. So Friday night I stayed on after work (standard Friday night for me) to get the rear axle lowered a bit more. Went for another 30mm and I would say that's about perfect height. The axle came apart like a dream which I did hope it would as it was only apart the week before. I think I even didn't say 1 swear word when lowering it which is pretty rare for me. Bit of a fail on pics but I will sort that maybe tomorrow.
Then onto today which my plan was to fit the paddle clutch. I got down work nice and early and had the gearbox on the floor in about an hour. I seemed to have a slight engine oil leak so after talking to mark the other day I fort I would check the crank seal behind the flywheel and surprisingly enough it was slightly leaking so I phoned up GSF to see if they had 1 and they had 1 in stock to by surprise so out comes there van bout 10:30 and they sent a gear rod which wasn't what I wanted. Phoned them up and they said part numbers were muddled up so after waiting another 2 hours I finally had the seal to fit. The waiting wouldn't of been so bad but I had football in the afternoon was time was pretty tight.
Anyway got the seal fitted and flywheel on and clutch bolted up
Mark then came over to pick up his pick up up so it was handy he gave he a hand as there never the nicest things to get the fork and bearing lined up. Got it all bolted back together and it all seems fine. Got to say the clutch aint really that bad to drive. Just pulling away is defiantly different.
Will try and get some pics tomorrow
