Got a new clutch cylinder to from ''jorily'' as the other one is knackered. So fitted that today now i'm back in action,i found out today that the brake cylinder on my Skonda is actually a clutch cylinder.So that answers the question in another post i made ''can i use'' so i will order another clutch cylinder to use as the brake cylinder......Willy

UPDATE ON THE SKONDA....Right here we go at last ... I have stripped her down even further i was thinking that if i change the rake and put some longer forks on (if possible)..1, it will look better i think and..2, hopefully it will make the front a bit heavier helping to keep the front end on the ground .I have now stripped the front end of ready to alter the rake when i can get someone to cut it and weld it for me as i don't weld.Not sure what front end to use it needs to be from a Honda of some sort so that i can keep the name i've chosen for it (THE SKONDA).I will post some pictures later hopefully...cheers.....Willy

Hi Willy. Go for the beefiest teles you can find to take the weight of half a Skoda hanging on them, or try leading link forks. I'll be interested to see the results.

Hey willy, if the black was similar to "smoothrite" it will be an enamel and you may get a reaction if you overpaint with cellulose or 2 pak. If you are can I suggest a test are first.

Best of luck.

There was a bike at our local bike meet with a similar tank a couple of months ago. Certainly got plenty of attention.
