Looks real good, my A7 LS kick start looks the same, think they were made that way? ;)

Hi
Nice and quick work  *smile*
The reason the kickstart is "droopy" is that the cotter is fitted from the wrong side  *ex*
It should be fitted with the nut to the front
You will also be able to open the tool box once this is corrected  *smile*

Schade, dass uns fast 900km trennen, sonst haetten wir mal ne gemeinsame Ausfahrt mit den Beee's in die Abendsonne machen koennen!

Too bad that we are nearly 900km separated, otherwise we could have the chance to do a common Beezzzaaaa ride in the evening sun!
