I've got a pair of forks from a Kanguro if they are any good. A bit of corrosion between the top and bottom yokes but nothing where the sliders run.

Have the yokes as well if you are interested. I got a better condition set from Italy for a very good price which are now on my X3.

Let me know.

Congratulations!!! Found the run on the live feed - 114mph and it sounded really tasty!!

Hi Mike,
They are the larger blade type - the holder is marked CEV - if they had been the old type as on the 3 1/2 or the inline type I would indeed have updated them to blade type. I have done the upgrade on my Coguaro and Kanguro X3 and they do tuck away quite nicely!

Just a little post in case it affects you. The Dart has two fuses which are mounted in a double fuse holder on the same plate as the ignition coils. Conveniently the mounts incorporate a spare fuse for each. Unfortunately the plastic these are made of had deteriorated such that it fell apart in my h...

I've got a US Camel 501 and the carbs have a pumper unit in them when you give it some!! I rebuilt my carbs as they were full of gunk and a trip to the ultrasonic bath sorted that out. As for needle positions I can't offer any info without taking the carbs apart.

At last the 400 Dart from Japan has made it into the shed for revival. For a bike with only 2099 km on the clock it is not in a clever state. The fuel tank is leaking at the top mounting point with obvious splits around the threaded insert - good job I bought an ali tank all those years ago!! The bi...

I remembered I took a picture!!

I went over to Oakley Motorcycles at Maidstone to say 'Hello' as they are my local Morini dealer in Kent and thought it would be polite to do so. A very welcoming staff with a wide selection of different bikes - Morini, Benelli, BSA, Herald (a new one on me) and Zero electrics just to name a few. Th...

No that would be the olive. I machined the fitting it seats in - the benefit of having been an instrument tech in a paper mill meant there was always a handful in the toolbag!

Update on my dilemma .............. If you take a brass 1/4 straight - 1/4 compression fitting and give it a dose of lathe you can make a more than respectable version!! Along with a bit of drilling the jobs a good'un! Clutch is now smooth and with correct adjustment of the actuator arm doesn't caus...

Investigating a stiff clutch on the Camel and found that the small round ferrule that the clutch cable sits in in the clutch lever is missing. Anyone got one spare? I've looked at the parts list but the diagrams I've got just show a complete clutch lever assembly so I've not got a part number to hun...

No belt dressing is needed - it is used on some heavy equipment to aid grip/prevent slippage.

As an aside I get my belts from RS Components - normally a Gates item.

John.

Yes - twice!!

Wanted, pick up cover for 3 1/2 - plain type not mechanical tacho type. Sent my original for polishing and it came back looking great. Problem is it has disappeared!! Looked everywhere it could be, should be and shouldn't be but it has vanished. If anyone has one happy I'm to buy it so that my polis...

More things I've been playing with using 3D modelling software. Sorry the green is more yellow but colour choices in translucents is limited.

Original round lenses available in the same colours as the newer square ones - original orange and blue test pieces snapped up by testers!!
