  1. Larry's swing arm is actually an HRC RC45 swing arm, IIRC, but someone with Larry's skills and connections could probably extend a "standard" RC45 (or RC46?) swing arm if he was so inclined... Ciao,
  2. Why petroleum jelly? I'm not sure what effect that would have, but the manual certainly calls for dielectric (silicone) grease. I understand (the Internet told me so!) that petroleum jelly has two relative drawbacks, compared with silicone grease: petroleum jelly has a very low melting point, and it releases flammable vapour... Ciao,
  3. The wheel in your pic looks like an SP2 wheel to me? (I don't have an RC51, but I do have three SP1 front wheels!) SP2 wheels are supposed be slightly lighter than SP1, but I haven't weighed them myself. Ciao,
  4. Mmmmm. Radial caliper conversion... A lighter RC51 wheel, eh? I think the only thing appreciably lighter than the SP2 front wheel is a carbon fibre wheel, e.g., BST: It's even five spokes to match the rear... Ciao,
  5. The Autobahn really depends on which one you're on. The popular ones are not only very crowded, but absolutely chock-full of restricted speed zones that go on for miles. And don't get me started on the "Lärmschutz" speed limits! Besides which, of course, when I'm in Germany on a bike it's usually loaded up like a camel, so testing its top speed is a bit of a pointless exercise! Ciao,
  6. www.cmsnl.com can get it if it is available; if they say it is not available, it's probably not available. Most of the times I search for part numbers on Google I find that the parts always show up on certain sites, but when I try to order them it turns out that the parts are not available after all. Very frustrating, as it usually takes them several days to figure this out. www.bike-parts.fr is as reliable as CMS. Ciao,
  7. You are obviously a patient man, Murray... Ciao,
  8. ...and goodbye, eBay. The "new style" short Denso COPs are about the same length as the Mitsu COPs, so really aren't suitable for the RC36. So, if I want to do this I'll need to buy three more short, old style Denso COPs and modify the Mitsu grommets or figure out some other way to seal the COPs. Anyone want to buy a set of four, nice-condition, new style short Denso COPs? Ciao,
