Andy.
Thanks for your help and advise, but I now have a much bigger problem that I hope you can help me with.
I checked my MC28 last night and ,to my dismay ,I find it has 17 INCH wheels . Surely this cant be correct on a metric bike.
Maybe it has been retro fitted with wheels from an old englisn classic bike or an american helicopter.
Or could it be a special from Honda [and therefore valuable]?
Is it safe to ride?
Your thoughts ,or anyone elses, will be most welcome.

Keep smiling
Headman
