Jack, Check this link out: Is this the correct tyre for the back? If so, that's a cracking price! Mark.

So, we headed down to the Bush Road Races last Friday as Jack was racing in the Senior. The K4 came along for the trip as we hoped to get it checked by the MCUI rep down there. As it was the fella gave us a form and told us to fill it in and send him 2 photos of the bike along with a tenner! The regs aren't exactly tight (Quote "Carburettors - any carburettors are fine)! That'll do ;D Jack's practice wasn't starting til quite late on so we thought we'd get the K4 running and see if our gear repairs had worked. The bike started fine and Jack took her for a wee trip around the paddock where the gears worked ok. Unfortunately there was a compression issue where one side was definitely stronger than the other and, after a helping hand from another classic competitor, we found out that one of the carbs is missing the idle adjusting screw! So, here's the question - Does anyone have an idle adjuster screw for a 32mm Mikuni Slowly but surely we're getting the hang of this classic lark and, with a bit of luck, the K4 will be ready in time for Kells........... M. PS. You'll notice that there's no Bush Road Race thread in the Photo Gallery. That's because I didn't get any photos taken!! The weather was fairly shitty and we were seriously hung over (Yep, found a Working Man's Club that opened til 2.00am ). Big thanks to Snooker who came down on Saturday and got us out of bed!! He also spotted this piece of exotica from the past which was in original condition:

Yep, there's VAT on top and being in Norn Iron strikes again The delivery charge goes up to £26 which is taking the piss. That said, the total charge is still under £70. I didn't buy one because the red mist came down when I saw the difference in the delivery cost. Is this still the best price you've seen? If so, I might give it a try. M.
