    Picked tht XT cylinder (barrell?) up from the machine shop today after it's
    rebore, time to get the tool kit out again and hopefully have it running at
    the weekend, although I have to strip and clean the carb yet, change the
    chain and sprockets, overhaul the rear brake (already rebuilt the front
    caliper and master cylinder) etc.......

    Anyway, to the point - anyone know if a slightly bent spoke will fail an
    MOT? It's tight and the wheel true but I've never owned a motorbike with
    spoked wheels before so I'm not really sure what passes as good or not.

    Wasn't a problem on the GlodWing.

    My mate used to have a TS with more bent and wobbly spokes that straight
    ones (seriously) and he never had a problem getting MOTs.
