A mere four hours solid work to remove and replace the rear wheel on the Blingmobile. And only two bolts left, and two sheared off[1]. Bargain. You have to: Remove the top box and panniers Remove the tool box (having fitted electrical connectors because the clueless **** who fitted the alarm hardwired it into the box) Remove both sections of the rear mudguard Remove the rear bumper Remove the rear subframe Remove the axle Unbolt the rear diff from the drive shaft. Remove the rear wheel. Reassembly is simply the reverse of this procedure. Except for the two mysterious bolts... (They're probably not important ones anyway). At least Colin Collins had the right sized tyre in stock, and fitted it straight away. I've fitted the new Skidmarx screen as well. I recommend these people highly. The screen was pretty reasonably priced for such a rare bike (£45-ish), and arrived within ten days of order (they quoted two weeks). It arrived in a *huge* box, with enough packaging to protect the crown jewels. It also fitted straight on with no fuss or drama. Well done them. [1] Whilst doing them up.

Bargain indeed. Unless you want somewhere to strap those disco lights ;-) Cor, that's a relief! No need to fit armour in your trousers then ;-)

Indeed. I wouldn't be surprised on the Voyager, mind - like I wouldn't be surprised to find it has a front diff too.
It's the coal tender that makes you see it that way, isn't it? That, and the repeated, frequent stops to take on liquid replenishment.
Oh ****. Brain fart. I meant the rear thingy from the wossname. -- Nigel - Manufacturer of the "Champion-105" range of rearsets WS* GHPOTHUF#24 APOSTLE#14 DLC#1 COFF#20 BOTAFOT#150 HYPO#0(KoTL) IbW#41 ZZR1100, Enfield 500 Curry House Racer "The Basmati Rice Burner", Honda GL1000K2 Kawasaki ZN1300 Voyager "Oh, Oh, It's so big"
Of course you did, dear. You provided a moment of light relief however, and that is no bad thing IMO.
