    Just spent end of last week and weekend doing a few tidy up jobs before getting bike inspected for registration.
    - 2 x dash globes
    - clean and lube chain
    - flush radiator and replace coolant
    - fit fairing (including a few new bolts for ones that were missing

    Removing screen to get at dash globes I noticed cracks around one of the bolt holes.

    Working on cutting and fitting a new screen now. Hopefully, this is last job before inspection. Screenshot_20220222-175420_Gallery.jpg

    I would say yes. It is a plastic cover and some Across models had their discs on the RHS.

    I feel a little bit silly - I trawled the net for literally ages to try and find a 3" wheel with twin discs and it didn't occur to me that an easily available solution was right there and easily available

    Happens to us all. Focused on the specifics, a twin disc wheel, and don't think of the other possibilities. Chances are the wheel is used in a twin disc model somewhere in the Suzuki range
    Has me thinking I can find a fork, disc and caliper from the earlier model and put twin brakes on this one :D

    Now you're getting carried away like me

    There is the Yamaha SZR600 with the capacity for twin front discs the same as the GSX250F, ultra rare here though

    Anyway I got a 93 GSX750F 3" front, but damn I should have thought laterally and has the same 3 spoke swept pattern like the Yamaha, anyway - live and learn

    Update: Bike has been going well. Had a concern about running temperature and fuel usage (see post in Suzuki 4 Cylinder forum).
    Happy enough with temperature after checking things over but ordered a new thermostat yesterday anyway. Be here in 2 weeks.
    I picked up 4 new carb slide holders as a preventative measure yesterday. Decided to replace the ones on the bike at the same time as I moved the setting on the needle up to the top groove. Pics below.
    Only drama was a stuck bolt. Had to drill of the bolt head. Luckily there was enough thread out of the hole to grab with pliers and unscrew (surprisingly easily)
    Quick test ride and all ok. Will monitor fuel usage for improvement and also look to get a fuel/air ratio probe to check exhaust gases
