So, the GSV is sitting on GSA suspension, so in the garage on the centre stand both wheels were still on the ground,  ::) ::)

Well I had agreed to go round to Obi-Wan to help bleed a set of clutch hydraulics for a mate of his, and left with a new stand (and the clutch now worked).

GS stand versus GSA  :biggrin: :biggrin:



I wont bore you with the nuts a bolts of fitting, it went on easily 8) But then fitting the return springs, this tip may save some knuckles and cursing.  :biggrin: sorry if pictures fuzzy...

Put the springs in the vice, bend it so the coils open push in a small washer, repeat other side like so.. :snorting: :snorting:



Then fit as so.. 8)



and pull out the washers, but there is still an issue, you remember my issue was both wheels on the ground, well I don't have that anymore.  ::) ::)
