Ooops I just contacted Andover Norton for a quote on the kit & fork seals, & There was a kit listed on ebay. Andover Norton were dearer on the kit & couldn't do the seals so I ordered the ebay one.. I think I need the full kit, Having stripped it the boot is knackered & the toothy washer is largely missing..

Really. on this one the Gearbox Sprocket is Attached to the inside of its cover.. Admittedly I never dis'assembled the bike but the only way I found to get the chain in place was by fitting the spring link at the back of the rear wheel sprocket once everything else was in place (Nightmare).. Is there a way to get the gearbox sprocket cover off without first drawing out the chain..?

Hm yes I can't say I'm impressed with the whole integrated front mud guard double disc cover situation. The discs rub on their covers & the whole thing makes it difficult to get the front wheel out.. .. I Don't want to moan but it certainly does have some quirks..
