Steve, thank you for the suggestion; I've ordered several metres of 5mm ID clear and 5mm ID in black. PS: My 250 2C is now running tolerably well considering it was last on the road in 1988. I used a small portable fuel tank for the testing and it's managed a few metres under its own power on the dr...

An oddity to me, and perhaps to the model generally, is that the fuel taps I've been supplied with have smaller outside diameters than the carb inlets. As I've several sets of taps (that came from various sources) this seems to be as intended by the factory. What works for your 250's and what would ...

Thank you all for the measurements and suggestions. I'll try various approaches ranging from a metal shim (e.g. tinfoil folded double at either end just might do) to fitting a bearing or replacing the bearing if there's already one in the lever.

As part of refurbishing a 250 2C I've discovered the pivot for the gear change lever is very worn and the surrounding area of the lever is also quite worn. The wear might even be visible in this photo, it's roughly 0.15mm diameter reduction on both ends of the pivot, in the lever the wear is slightl...

Simon, firstly, is the Paul you mentioned Paul Compton? He has one of possibly 2 original machines made specifically to magnetise the rotors used on these bikes. (I live fairly close to Paul and he's trained me in using the machine). If it's another Paul, then one option is to either get your rotor ...

For anyone interested, here's a photo of why the dents are in the LHS bottom frame tube, for the clutch cover to be removed and fitted more easily than otherwise would be the case.
PS: the wiring is loose as I've yet to work on the wiring loom.

Julian, I think there may be a market for Riservato Competitioni 'silencers'. Thought about replicating these? I know this started out as Valentini, but appears to have expanded to RMS (but not Ricci Racer!). Advantage is no need for downpipes. Disadvantage is two silencers! Mike. An interesting th...

Tom, he didn't give me an actual price for a jig - in my head during the conversation I got the idea it might be around £500 but that's only my guess. For the 350's it might be useful to compare the fit on a K and on a pre-K frame (I have both bikes). One option to consider is to spend a couple of £...

Is that a crease in the LH side lower frame rail or do 250 frames have that as std? There are two creases on the LHS of the 250 frame rail(at least on the ones I have) there's the one visible in the photo and another smaller one further around. Both are for access. I haven't seen/noticed any on the...

A quick update: I've spoken with Dennis and he is willing and able to make new editions of the exhausts; price TBD - somewhere around the £600 to £800 and they exhaust would be in Stainless Steel. He has two proposed approaches to making an exhaust: Creating a jig that someone pays for as part of th...

Do you have a registration number with it and possibly the V5?

(I've a complete spare rolling chassis for a 250 2C so don't need your frame, I'm asking for others )

That means the private message (pm) hasn't been read by the recipient yet.

@soliviken; FYI I've edited your post so that the images appear in your post. Good luck finding a buyer.

Thank you for the photo of the bikes on parade. And I'm glad your bike behaved well on the ride. Sorry I wasn't able to join you, the roads in that area are fun to ride.

Julian-you mean Alldens, yes? If so his name is Dennis and he's an old colleague of Ivan Appletons' so you can name drop both Ivan and me plus Tom as well. :wink: Yes, Alldens, sorry for the typo... and thanks for the correction he is Dennis rather than John, I'd misread one of the extended convers...
