Quick update - fitted stock can which clamps better then took her to local bike shop... they ahd a look at the frame and providing she rides straight, they reckon she'll get thru her next MOT

took her to tire shop to check wheel alignment, no problems there, not 100% but no worse than some new bikes... sorted temp guage & fan for the price of some WD40, and ordered up the speedo bits for the front wheel which should arrive tomorrow, took her a quick blast

She runs sweet, the engine and gearbox were rebuilt early last year - not sure what mileage has been put on her but she is smooth and the box is slick - have also now sorted out the headlight issues
