Re: [ST] New to the List / GenMar Question

Hi George,

I also have the problem where the windscreen support is moved at full 
lock. I have just "put up" with the slight rubbing of the throtle cable 
housing, an now have a sliver line where the black paint has worn away.

Will look forward to replies for this one..

Cheers
