Just looked at your past threads and see they have, so next step would be to pull them & stick em on a lathe to see how straight they are, only a suggestion though, good luck.

been in workshop all day tried new axle no difference so remounted shortend axle found one thing when engineer machined diff housing to loose so axle tube pushed in to far so bearing sat just proud off the housing, so ground end of drive shaft and now fits flush. The left side disk only has a minimal run out while the right hand is as bad as in the video, so swapped sides and hey presto problem has swapped sides disks definitely part if not all of the trouble so new discs tomorrow then get them machined probably not until Monday so getting on withe the paintwork, the diodes my son was waiting for turned up so hazard lights now all complete.

Hi Eric, glad everything's coming together & that now it's only a few niggles to sort out, although they can be the most brain frazzling ones! Looking forward to seeing the finished article & to you finally getting out on the road. Good luck mate, Bob.

yes guys all the effort was worth it just an hour or so in the work shop tomorrow to re check every thing is still tight spot more oil in the diff and off again for another ride,may stop long enough to clean it but at the moment taking advantage of the dry weather and getting used to the different riding style.
