Re: Instrument bezels and glass
Hello, Ooh, that sounds useful. I have an idea of how to do it but a tool for the job would be better. Just need to sneak out to the garage to have a look. The rubber seal is intact, but it looks like it does a few jobs like hold the glass and seals around the edge of the instrument. The only place ...

Re: Refitting bezels
Hi Mike, I have had my Norton's 'Smiths' rev counter rebuilt and when refitting the bezel, the guy doing it used a lathe! Very cleverly mind you. He held the speedo body in a fixture in the chuck, a large 'pad' in/on the tailstock was used to hold the bezel in place, and a tool with a small bearing...

Re: Indicators
I have used earth's inside the headlight shell where the stems enter the shell. The headlight has an earth, or you can take an earth to the earth point on the frame. I assume the indicator shells are metal?

Re: Instrument bezels and glass
Mike, Doug at mdina does list a rubber seal and has stock currently https://www.mdinaitalia.co.uk/instrument-bezel-rubber.html however you'll probably want to check with him whether this is actually suitable for the 88mm veglia rather than the 90mm smiths bezels. What about considering using cord s...

Re: Instrument bezels and glass
How do you propose crimping your new bezels on, out of interest Mike? "following" haha Could you not order custom O rings (easily found on Fleabay) and use those in the absence of flat sealing rubbers? Hi Simon, That is the next project. The instruments have been repaired and the bezels a...

Instrument bezels and glass
I was corresponding with 'Tom' on the forum and asked if he had any bezels for the earlier Vagueliar instruments. He gave me the name of a company he had used that led me to BGBM Ltd. They have 88mm bezels and glass. I ordered two of each on Wednesday and the parts arrived today (Friday). The vaguel...

Re: What`s your other bike ?
The 250RS was, and probably still is, a great bike. It is, just need to sort the starter motor on one of them, needs a rebuild I think and I'm not capable! :( Does it spin the engine, or does it not turn at all? If the former could be the battery, the latter could be the solenoid. David Silver Spar...

Re: What`s your other bike ?
The airhead still cuts it in modern traffic and has a range of 250 miles and is all day comfortable. The 1200R has been a revelation. Handling is very good and it has the same range on a tank that is 6 litres smaller. I have averaged over 60 mpg since I got it in May. The seat is like an armchair. W...
