Hi Paul,

If i remember correctly the early SR has the wrong spring sizes on them - hence why most SR seem to ride high - one of the only things i don't like about my SR is ride height.

I think...

it looked better before it was overhauled - wheels are awful :(

hurray, some movement happening at Camp Aaronjb :) - lol

Some lovely stuff in the garage there Aaron - SGS toolbench - nice one :)

what lathe on the greeny/blue stand - i've got the stand...

yep try to pre-fill mine each time, less cranking on engine to get oil into correct places after drain and re fill.

Just gone over £10k, does look nicely finished, just the uncertainty of what make/model it is, albeit shouldn't really matter as long as it's built properly and road legal ???? :)

Have been in touch with the seller - apparently his Mechanic is the one who told him it's an SR. It was built it 1984, so predates SR potentially - what models where earlier than that, Sheldonhurst?

Worth doing a search of the site for shocks as there are better alternative that most people go for instead of Gaz - Protech i think they are called

Thanks for the updated report Paul :)

As KevinW says - can you post a link to exact product and parts you used please - think a few may be interested in these :) myself included.

as another SRV8 owner - i currently have 255/50/16 rear and 235/50/16 fronts. I'd say my fronts are too wide and should be 215 or 225 max really - bugger to turn at low speeds with no PS - lol :)

Christ on a bike Colin - so very sorry to hear about your condition.

With regards to the car - if on road and registered etc, then i'd say it's underpriced unless wanting a quick sale. Should be...

After having my 383 rebuilt a couple of years ago, it went from using 20W50 to my engine builders stated preference of 10w40 mineral oil - this is like trying to find rocking horse droppings and the...

best time to buy when winter comes - prices tend to be cheaper :)
