Thanks Jenny but those are a bit spendy compared with re-chroming, new seals, dust boots & clips

That vintage suspension website looks really helpful though, have to see if I can resist buying full nos forks.... going to look at another 500 next week & see what the forks are like on that

Hi Ian - did you remember where you might have seen 35mm stanchions available? Thanks

After some decent fork stanchions for my 500 sport before I go down the path of having mine re-chromed, alternatively full legs if they have dust boots, brake line clips & don't need new seals. Thanks

Scrambler owner here, but seeing as they are the same what are people using to remove the oil drain plug without removing the exhaust? Is there anything I can but off the shelf?

Otherwise I'm thinking it would need to be a flat bar with part of maybe an old suitably sized plug spanner welded to it...

Interesting front brake conversion spotted on facebook

Thanks Tom

Not entirely sure how a crows foot spanner would help, but I'll certainly give it a go

Speed sensor failed on my scrambler so I bought "NEW GENUINE DUCATI 749 BIPOSTO 2003-2006 SPEEDOMETER SENSOR 55240373A" from ultimate parts worldwide on eBay for just under £70 - apart from the cable being a bit longer it arrived next day & seems to work fine.

Think they are pretty generic bar the cable length & fitting - looks similar to the one on my Guzzi 1200 sport

Seeing as I've just lost the Speedo on my scrambler & checking on here, seems like Speedo sensor failure is quite common but that said could be an easy fix

Great, let us know how you get on with it

Seems cheap & appears to have just obtained an MOT, I'd buy it for spares just in case but already have too many bikes. Carmo should be able to sort out the non displaying clocks too. Let us know if you go for it.

Hi, do you have any straight 500 rears available? Cosmetic condition immaterial as I need to get the front refurbished anyway. There's one on eBay currently, relisted as it didn't sell the first time https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/135662825158 PS: The seller also has a 250/125 rear wheel available http...
