8, 10, 12, 14, 17, 23, stick a 13mm in as someone is bound to have replaced an 8mm bolt or nut with a 13mm. (Honda thought they were unlucky so never used them)
9mm spanner for adjusting tappets.
Angled cross head screwdriver for carb bowl, and spare screws.
Tyre levers, tube or repair kit.
Spare throttle cable.
Chain lube (essential)
420 chain link
oil

Re: John O'Groats to Land's End (Charity ride)
Hi guys!! Sorry I’ve only just checked this and seen the messages! So we did it!!
1300 miles approx in the end including the ride up from Inverness to the start line!
It was a brutal trip with constant rain for the 1st 2 days. Sleeping in a 1 man tent with wet clothes all night then putting them on again in the morning was lovely
However spurred on by support from friends, family and lovely people on the route we pushed on!
Riding 12 hours a day has ruined my back and shoulders but nothing that won’t sort itself out in a few weeks!
We’ve raised over £1700 for Macmillan Cancer Support so far and one of the guys (a good friend of mine) has offered his bike up for auction with all proceeds going to Macmillan (what a star!)
I’ll share some photos later today
Thanks for all the help, advice and support.
Oh and the bikes didn’t miss a beat! No mechanicals, no punctures and just a drop of oil
What a machine these bike are !!!!!!!
