Hi All,

My bike [1974 FS1E] stands for long periods of time unmoved - usually the whole of winter.

It is usually parked with the steering turned as if the steering lock was on. After a period of standing I notice a slight drip of oil on the front wheel under where the brake actuator is. At first I suspected leaking forks, but I now think it is simpy oil from the brake cable seeping out.

Anyone else get this?

Is this why they swapped the brake actuator mechanism to the other side of the hub on later models?
