Default She's back on the road-thanks for all the help (video attached)

Hi all,
Thanks for all the help...she's running pretty well and did 100 miles yesterday (first ride in 15 years). One more blast tomorrow to make sure everything is ok, and I'll put the body back on. Didn't need anything new but the tires. Carb was the biggest PITA. Only weird part is that every caliper (2 in front and 1 rear) has the slightest little side-to-side jiggle to it if I grab it by hand and try to move it. All the bolts are properly torqued down, and I cant figure out why. I can't imagine this is right is it? Hope the video works!

Dave

Sounds good! I also have just the slightest jiggle in my rear caliper, but it works just fine so I've not obsessed over it... but now will double check my fronts!

Doc Sansom,
I checked and the calipers are floating and are supposed to jiggle slightly.

Ah, gotcha! Yeah, I checked (mine are very snug) but then got caught up in track day prep and forgot to post back. Glad you got it figured out! 👍
