No Iām definitely on the banned list, he doesnāt seem to know why though. Iām still waiting to hear back. I might just have to use someone else to buy them for me. Pisses me off tho, I donāt consider myself a shitty person. A PITA maybe, but Iām not duplicitous š¤Ø ...
Iām gutted cause Iāve been collecting parts together for a while. Iāve got the pipe now, progressive springs with genuine seals and top & bottom bushes, new tyres and tubes, spare swing arm (old one with grease nipples both sides!) to be powder coated and renovated with seals bushes and bearings. Bottom end casings to be powder coated along with side cases. Adjustable 200 rear shock...
I finally find a set of forks & yokes at a realistic price, so I can get the powder coating all done together and Iām a fuckin pariah!! š¤Ø
Oh well, keep on keeping on I āspose

@SpookDog send me photos of that shock, Iām curious as there was one up for sale a while ago that was rough as fuck listed as 200r shock but was actually of a Lanza meaning better suspension and more adjustment options. I think it sold for less then Ā£40/30 quid too.
I nearly bought it but I was poor and didnāt realise it was a Lanza.
Also how you getting on with those kendaās?
Iāve found the best way with building is to do what youāre doing now, make lists, organise and compile parts then decommission the bike for a bit then work your way front to back or back to front.
Iām also expecting a full review of that pipe! No one has really said about the characteristics of it, they always just say āyer mate itās goodā. My stock pipes looking a little worse for wear lately so I want to get one.

I donāt have it yet, the bloke I brought my Yz upside down forks and ally swing arm has it. I havenāt seen him for a while. He was putting n rd200 twin engine into a Dtr frame, but was gonna put both barrels into a 2 into 1 pipe he made, which Iāve since discovered isnāt a good idea
...Getting unbanned from the fleabay vendor!

Actually still waiting on the swing arm as well
Iāve just discovered that the chain Iāve been using since January has a roller missing on one end of the chain! On inspection I noticed that there was a lot of wear on the rear sprocket in a short time, also that there was a ā-/ā-/ā-/ slight judder in 1st gear where the chain was gripping the top of the sprocket. Iām gonna remove the offending link and readjust the tension. It makes a lot of difference to performance when the chain doesnāt run easy and smooth.
Thereās always something!

D@mn! Removing 1 link has left the chain too short for the min adjustment of the snails! Iām in the process of cannibalising a link off of my old o-ring chain, so I can maintain adjustability with the snails...
I would normally just replace the chain & sprockets, but I balk against doing it just as winter is kicking in with all the road salt damage I suffered from last year. It mullahed my O-ring-chain & exhaust last winter. We didnāt even have any snow or ice down my way! Waste of salt š¤Ŗ ... -

Itās still not working. Iāve deleted my cache, turned off the phone and the only way I can post is the bar at the top and I have to turn the phone sideways to do that! If I press the reply at the bottom of someoneā elseās post it returns me to the top of the thread! Weird!...

@SpookDog No it's probably because your browser has cached something and the page is error.
