Good news … Ray YOU have a 2 litre bottle of Thatchers Gold awaiting you for being such a star mate
Scraching around for a bloody piece of 125mm diameter bar to make the new carrier out off
think rocking horse pooh is easier to find
Is’nt that 5 inch in old money? We use big bits down at railway - I’ll have a look tomoro amongst the off-cuts and leftovers. ESB - What’s the shortest you can get away with?
2inch
couple of pics of kens poorly rear bisc carrier / bearing hub
picked up a bar end of alli today so should be acle to machine a new one
Eeee it is a mess innit mind you it has done alorra lorra miles … was gonna ask you for dimensions of the bit tonight but looks like you have it sorted buddy
yep got a bit sorted had to collect it today from brummy land god glad the van had decent locks on it
going along a road kid on pushbike rides into road I stop next thing i know two blokes trying to open rear doors, then they all gone in a flash
Foookinell…
Good thing they’re getting rid of the cops, we obviously have too many.

One reason why ALL our vehicles self lock when you get in and start them
Nowt in stock - but looks like you’re sorted. Impressed with old one, good enough for a rogues gallery?!! Now there’s an idea…Mind you, don’t want to put off prospective owners - "this is what can fail after only 200k miles!
Bloomin’ thing …after 250,000 and it damn well FAILED By the way The one and only Min called last night he has found what he believes is a bearing carrier and is posting it up in case Ray has any problems machining one…
Majik
Its arrived and the right it so a new bearing in it in the morning and job done takes the rush off the machining (i hate machining parts in a hurry) i like to take my time and not bother with things like the phone
Big thanks to Min, yeh popped to Ray’s workshop took out the circlip and bearing and he cleaned it up in a jiffy with the blast cleaner, getting put back together tomorrow all sorted. You know the Club Membership is worth every penny just to have buddies like Min and Ray and others who looked around for parts. Not only that but finding out things I didn’t know and that is after having the bike since 1989… Hey guys the rear bearing carrier is a separate part and after tomorrow Ray can make NEW ones.
Carrier arrived, ( By the way I since found out Guzzi call it a “Rear wheel flange” still available… ray, bless that man, cleaned it and the disc carrier, I purchased 2 new bearings and it was popped back together and the "flange and disc parts painted, all sorted…BIG thanks to The one and ONLY Min and Ray…Ex Smoking Biker …who has actually been and got hisself a 750 Kettle so is a failed ex smoker …
I hope the beach vollyball was good Min !
Nicorette?
