Bold New Graphics!

Sounds like I'll just safety wire them. Was having a issure with the nuts on my GU loosening. Safety wire solved problem. Got a jig for drilling nuts. As per video in that linked topic, TomCatFixer wired his, as you can see in the video, still went loose. Me, I keep a ring wrench handy in the tub a...

+1 for wide rim strips, I've got them, 30mm wide. Two flats on the bike very early on, caused by TWO normal width strips being put in, to try to get some extra width, but the ridge caused by the overlap wore thru both inner tubes (front & rear).

I had a friend at the time bought one of the very first ones. Don't know if it was the above or "chocolate camshaft syndrome" but he was cursing Honda for a while.

For security (in lieu of a steering lock) I currently use an armoured cable lock that ties the front wheel to the sidecar front bumper bar. I go with its so odd no one would steal it! Unfortunately my insurance company insists on additional security means. And as they would like to get out of payin...

I know there are Ural dealers in UK.

Only one now I believe, F2 Motorcycles at Wisbech, near Cambridge (the other was Watsonian but they stopped)

I've also mail ordered from Ural Lorraine France, no problems with that.
