    Thanks! We do our best, but I do get it wrong from time to time!!!

    Like I say though - the only people who make no mistakes are those that do nothing!

    Happy riding. Andy.

    Hi !

    We are in the process of re-making the Blue and Black plastic caps - but from an expensive mould tool to be exactly like the genuine part. I have looked at samples of billet ones and they are heavier.

    We are also about to do the mould tool for the Cable Guide for the 40mm forks and also a version for the 35mm fork!

    We have just done the Slope and Radius cut sprocket covers - again, exactly as genuine - but without the annoying holes that always make the sticker fall off. Billet covers are 200 grammes and plastic 80 grammes which is why we are staying with plastic!

    Titanium 4t valve spring retainers have just arrived plus the mould tool for the Cranked Kickstart retainer is about to be trialled.

    Also, I am currently reviewing a list of 1.5 million NOS Husky parts ....

    Andy.

    I don't know what my problem is with uploading a picture on this site? It's formatted correctly on my computer. Anyhow, Thanks for your excellent products and service Andy!

    Thanks for your kind words - your bike is looking good! By the way, clip the brake pedal spring under the pedal. The hole is for the brake light switch wire....

    I have the same problem with pics not orienting correctly. I solved the problem by loading the pic into a image view program and re-saving it. Then I upload and its looks good.

    I get to blame the previous owner on that one but I didn't catch it until Andy pointed it out. It worked in that position but I moved it to the correct spot to avoid any further heckling :)
