Sounds a great run, Tony. I've not been to the T&K for a looong time.
I'll try my hardest to get to it (workload dependent) will confirm later. Just checked the long-range weather forecast, it's looking like it may be good that week.

Re: Stuck Engine Mounting Bolt
Have done this a couple of times on old Guzzis. It's a horrible job. Heat is your friend, as described before - do not start thwacking the bar, it doesn't end well. This is a common problem on old Guzzis, part of my maintenance schedule is to remove, clean lug holes and bar, polish and refit with pl...

Re: Black road dust
One alternative is to change the brake pad material. I think Allan has some different grades, but may affect braking. If you have a Convert parking brake they are rare and I do not think any pads are available. You can adjust the Convert brake by operating on allen screws in centre of pads/piston b...

Initially, there was contact with the Convert parking brake to the disc, it was still dragging slightly after correct adjustment of the arms and cable, so I've shimmed the carrier to ensure the calipers are properly centralised on the disc. The p...
