Enjoy.

cheers guys ive got a couple of small problems ive noticed i need to look into the fuel gauge doesnt seem to read properly unless they have a bigger tank than other classics ive owned i get beetween quarter of a tank and empty to £15 worth of fuel witch seems a bit low from what i remember ?

also my drivers side rear wheel is squeaking at low speeds ive had the calipers off checked the discs pads and sliders copper greesed them but it sounds like the handbrake is sticking slightly inside the disk im gonna check this today if poss could just want new shoes on the rear so shouldnt be a problem
