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...

Re: Farewell

Hello Ming,

Sorry to see you go. Enjoy your retirement.

As Mr 72 says, you experience would prove useful here.

Mike.

Re: Refurbishing carbs, what parts wear

The worn parts have done many miles, more than anybody will put on the old clunkers between now and being banned, so 'stocking up' means fewer for others to obtain with a consequent price rise. Did you horde toilet rolls in 2020? :)
