Fitting of a new rear tyre (at 11,500 miles).
Solving of a vibration problem that's been haunting for some time.
Both long bottom rear engine mounting bolts would not hold properly and worked themselves loose at every ride. The odd thing was finding a metric fine bolt fitted on english thread.
Solution for one was found in freshing up the thread and fitting new bolt. The other one by adding a rubber ring (of the hard kind).
I was made to believe RE had converted to metric but likely in a Shakespearian way: a midsummernight's dream, as you like it.
Any way, to be back on a smooth ride made me immune for the low twenties and the firm harsh polar wind. Once this current elation has subsided I may start a discovery slash inventory tour on bolts.
