In theory the other bearing will arrive tomorrow so I can get the yokes and possibly forks in :)

will do mate, I'll check that the fork tops are still free before I let you know though, they look clean enough though :D I was going to rip them and my NC23's forks apart and make a good set out of the 2 :lol: but type 1 parts command a premium ;)

Having a bit of a ball ache bleeding the brakes, but getting there :) just need to put the front mudguard on, give everything a quick check, I need to raise the forks a couple of mm, but that'll be an easy job when my DSS order arrives :P

I've started stripping the paint off the rear wheel but ran out of nitromors, just need to get the tyres off so I can have them both sand blasted and powdercoated/painted white, so I have a set of really nice wheels and BT92's and a decent set (front really lets it down) with 090's on :grin:

Everyone needs 2 sets of wheels with a couple of different sets of tyres, or thats what I told my mrs @ 1st, I seem to have ended up with just a few more (or 6) sets of wheels!

lol I think I'd stop at 4 sets (per bike ;) )

sorted the tyre out (cheers Alex :up: ) and made (yet) another ebay purchase, RVF suspension linkage, so the rear can be jacked up a bit, it's cheaper than getting an after market shock, and my current stock one is good enough for now :)

EDIT: Am I right thinking that this is the only part from the NC35 I'll need to jack the rear up? Dunno if I over paid, but I got it for £25 + p&p
