Well, now you've started something! I decided to fix my wobbly stand and weld back all the brackets removed when it was 'cafe racered'. Does anyone race to cafes now? On mine the spacer tube has rusted into the frame. I think it's probably been stuck about 30 yrs, since I stripped the frame first ti...

You should be able to dress it with a file, I think. Get rid of sharp edges and smooth out any sharp bottoms of grooves etc. If it was left sharp in any indent it 'could' just, almost, possibly start a crack. In practice though you'll see many pistons damaged by other traumas that have run for many ...

I would guess it has rusted to the spacer tube. I didn't know they even had one till I looked at the parts list! My 350 has a wobbly stand so will be facing the same job soon....hope it comes out easily. Otherwise may have to resort to drilling/cutting, which would be easy with a bare frame of cours...

I would be annoyed at a modern bike doing this too! It was bad enough with 60/70's bikes not being ready for all year use. In your position I'd dry the whole bike off (as you did already) then treat all the electrics with something like ACF50. It does seem to be very waterproof and is definitely ver...

Hi Paul, yes twin discs would be nice, but mainly (and quite sad :oops: ) I want it to look like a sport, even if only one disc! So the strada slider is annoying me. Andy has fitted a master cylinder from a guzzi with the same idea, but the brake still doesn't impress that much. Not bad but...... Si...

Hi Tony, I saw your silencers last night and thought about a bid, but decided against because of the rattle and the fact someone else is already bidding. I wouldn't want to start a bidding race if I'm not sure they are what I want! Regarding the switch though, I would appreciate it if you do have on...

Hi all, still looking for a fork slider, side stand, switch assy and some silencers. Got a rear lamp as EV suggested from Athens via ebay, and also a set of LED indicators. The 2-1 exhaust I have for trade is one of the NLM expensive and super-dooper ones. Just a bit noisy for a gentle old soul like...

Hi, you could try Rob Cox? His 500 looks pretty good ans was still for sale last month. I was keen to go and look at it, but then my old 350 became available again and I had that back! If you look a few posts down below, there is a wanted ad for a 500 and Rob (Coxey) has replied to that. Well worth ...

Thanks, I think.

The snow and ice has melted pretty well today, so I had my chance to get the bike MoT'd and taxed. The road was closed on the planned route so I ended up with a 60ml round trip for the test, well, it needs a shakedown after 4yrs off the road 8) What did I learn? It still makes me grin, rearsets don'...

that´s exactly the reason apart of the price that I stay with the original kit as long as I can :wink: Because electrolegastenic that I am my skin gets blue and my toung green deeling with cables :oops: ciao norbert Hi Norbert, the same logic as I try to use. I thought I understood German though, ...

Hi all, am looking for a few bits and pieces to help put my '77 350 sport a little nearer standard apearance; 1) Don't larf! but I'd like one of the old snuff box switches that screw on to the clutch lever clamp. Has pilot/main lights, dip switch and horn button. Definitely not standard on a '77 un...

Hmmm, doesn't look bad does it? Maybe I should have taken it after all when I picked the bike up :o And I'm glad I fetched it last week, the radio tells me you're pretty well cut off right now? Got the bike running last weekend too-just fuel as suspected, and am waiting for a chance to MoT it now. T...

The alternator ignition coil resistance is a bit of a red herring. I've measured a NOS coil at 220 ohm and what really matters is how much it has dropped since it was wound. This is an indication of the state of the insulation. Yes, interesting you say that, mine only has 213 ohm, and produces a he...
