What did you end up doing to get the result, was it just the head light remount?

To be honest, I don't really know - I did the whole "change lots of things at once" trick...  ::)

My gut feeling is that the headlight mounts, shock setting and triple clamp made the difference to the steering problem. The gearing, seat and footpegs are more about riding it faster, more comfortably.

Today, the new tyres and mousse tubes were fitted, along with that service I threatened (yes Ross, including lubing the chain). The top shock bearing is squeaking, so I've gotta lube that up, and I need to work out what they want me to do for mounting the number and make that happen.

Good luck on the 24hr in a week and a bit. Lighting shouldnt be a problem as I noticed a HID ballast in your photo. Hope the fog and rain stays away for everyone n keep those hands warm. Have you done a few 24s.

Make sure you take your thermals... and a torch [in your pocket] to help you find the bike if you happen to bail in the dark...

Keep us up to date with your progress. Good luck!!!
