You are all very welcome indeed. The contributed knowledge of this site has been the only real savior to me.

Bump steer, Avon side-car tires (!), sprockets, rectifier, compensator and now the thin walled header pipes. Hit them all.

Don't have a shred of religion to comfort myself so that leaves alcohol...
