Thanks Bob/Richard,

I had suspected the replacement secondhand bar grips from the start, as I didn't get shimmy on the previous tyres that had a much "squarer" shoulder (but only did few miles on them before changing.

I can try to borrow a pair of wheels/tyres, but also have a pair of new modern 11x20s bar grips being delivered to W&P, so perhaps will fit them to see what happens.

The springs are definitely past their best and when the weight is on them, sit flat. Am trying to find a leaf spring refurbisher in south-east.

Will keep you posted on the 6-degree wedge test!
