Re: 83 Sport 3 1/2 troubles

Sorry to hear of your troubles. The advice around exhausts is nipping up when hot so do that when you refit the heat shield. I caught mine one screw out last month so hope you find it!
I always look on Italian eBay so maybe there's a switch there if you can't find one in the UK.

PSA - buying online.

A recent transaction on the bay has not gone according to plan and I would hate anybody else to have a similar experience.

I know others have successfully used this seller and many probably will in the future but my post is a reminder - as with every seller - to be 100% sure you keep records of ...

Re: 1986 350 K2 front brake information.

Hey, as things are always changing in the landscape, I'm posting these links to the latest pads I've seen. I bought some myself.
Cheers,

Re: Air filters,plug caps.

I have always successfully used plain rubber plug-caps with no resistance at all, for what it's worth.

Re: I took my Tachometer apart, can it be saved?!

Thank you kindly.
So I have may two options then - I can either contact our instrument specialist here in Auckland to see if they're interested - or perhaps bring my tacho to the UK in July for you to look at. :D

Re: I took my Tachometer apart, can it be saved?!

A question for you tacho dismantlers, please. Mine works fine but the inside of the glass is pretty dirty, is it logical and easy to remove the innards so I can clean it?
I should add that I do know it's not a simple task to remove the bezel but is that the only way to gain entry, as it were?
Cheers ...

Re: Carburettors for Strada

Hi, as the owner of two different Italians, I'm often faced with non-OEM parts situations that I like to fully understand.
Are you saying these are Chinese-made copies of Dell'Orto carbs but called something else, or carbs made by Dell'Orto but in China, not Italy?

Re: Rectangular headlamp questions

Thanks for the offer, it is near enough but I think NZ post would probably charge as much as Royal Mail to get it here from there!

I am not riding much at night now so won't be relying on it, in any case. I have a Hella H4 at the minute but felt like a change.

Re: Rectangular headlamp questions

Thanks Tom and Ian, that's all useful. All I have to decide then is all-black or chrome rim.

Rectangular headlamp questions

While recommissioning my K1 Sport I'm considering swapping the after-market round headlamp for the rectangular type it had when new.
I've seen a few used ones online but does anybody know:

1. Are the ones fitted to our off-roaders the same unit? (Could I also consider a Kanguro unit?)
2. Are they ...

If you didn't find this thread yet, have a look here.

I think I also have some packaging from old sets that may help with ref.numbers.

Re: I'm rich, but not in a good way

Hi there,
just a random question that springs to mind: have you checked they are the correct carbs for the bike?

I hope you don't have to go the whole wide world for a solution!

Re: Alternative paint schemes

Thanks Jenny,
that's the sort of thing I'm after. I may do some mock-ups with washable paints for a larf.
Funnily enough, almost none of the schemes I've seen seem to have a red frame but I do and that makes a difference.

Keep 'em coming!

Cheers,

Re: Clutch lever fulcrum

Thanks, both of you.

Mine actually already is the 26mm version but since regaining the bike there are some rerouting and lubrication things I need to do. It was not really maintained in my absence. Things like that will give me a chance to get to know it again.

Clutch lever fulcrum

Hi there,
I have a generic Domino clutch lever/perch fitted. I also have Tarozzi clip-on risers which means my cable routing is somewhat compromised by the instruments.
The action is "firm" but I'm used to it, however, I have just seen that two different fulcrum lengths are offered by Tomaselli ...
