Mat Tab took it off me for spares.

Somehow the gearbox output shaft has started to lose its splines.
Hammering masonry nails into the gaps only provided temporary respite.

Weggie and I delivered it, on an expedition involving Mat, visiting
Nursey in Manchester, picking up a TS250 in Harrogate, and driving
home.

They're, as is well documented, a much like a big, floaty, boat, but
they do (did) go well enough.

Same bottom end used in the CB1300 I bought in 2009.

Ah, yes - vaguely remember this now

Given that you and Weggy are in London/South-East and Mat was in
Bristol, I'm struggling to comprehend the logistics of this, but I'm
sure it all made sense at the time

Yes. Same niche as the ZX10 (non-R), that I owned variously from 1989
to 1992, and loved to bits
