    After a crap morning at work decided to take the afternoon of to make a start on changing my leaking fork seals on my winter hack.
    Watch Delboys Garage again - check
    Consult Haynes manual - check
    Construct damper removal tool - check
    Remove forks - check
    Dissemble - check
    Fit new seals - arrrghhhhh wrong bloody size, been sat on the shelf for months
    Run into office re-order for next day delivery - nope bloody missed cut off time of 3pm
    Bike is now hanging from the beam in the garage whilst I await the new ones.

    Sorry just needed a rant!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Happened to me on my bike , worked out Triumph used two different bloody fork sizes on the 900 Thunderbird. Even the supplier didn't know until I showed him on the internet.
