Ossie, Re: #5. We're talking Series A here so the fixed damper-plate is fixed tightly on the Bramptons.
Roy, I'm with Greg on this one - something must be amiss with steering head bearings? Or, you could get some penetrating oil into the fork-spindles; if any are locked-up they can do weird things to the steering...
You'll probably find that the bolts on the handlebar raiser clamps hit the tank on full lock. Put the bolts in from the front and use a thin nut (no washer) at the rear. And/Or a thinner tank rubber. This can help.
Lots more tips and info/photos in "
Back to 'A'" (Chp 4 - Forks) - only £29-50 from the VOCSC.
