Just tried to tart up my Ex L/ning, With a stainless Norton stay, For the front lower.
You have guessed it !, It don't fit !, Seems the 90 90 19 is OK, 300 20 is OK,
But 100 90 19, With alloy brake plates and scoops, No good.
Some day , I must build a Standard Vin' ! . Cheers Bill.

Could be the first standard one ever

I can't let it beat me !, As soon as my head hit the pillow, I thought , Why not cut it in the middle of the loop,
And have 2 stays, Like standard for the rear, But going on the inside.
Lots of reshaping, Not easy with stainless, But I have a plumbers pipe bender, And I built a " Break ", For bending sheet metal, A few years ago, I saw on youtube.
I think it will be strong enough, Because the Guard is stainless too.
Not perfect, But good enough for me, Cheers Bill.

Looking good Bill.
Some of the best ideas are when you're meant to be nodding off !
At least you remember, that's better than I do lately.
Cheers
