Still too big a gap, needs to be closer to a fag paper.

Broke my bike today. Also fixed it again. Valve clearances re-done to a tight fag packet thickness, no doubt the locknut will spin up again sometimes soon

try just squeezing the nut a tad in a vice. stud lock might also work.not sure if its oil resistant.

Got a couple of (almost) knackered batteries from my mechanic, so fitted them onto my Armstrong, along with a new switch for the rear work light. New fusebox and other bits of wiring, and finally got round to putting a cambelt cover on

indicators are really smart but unfortunatly you cant replace the bulbs...doh they are sealed units. ill see how long they last.
