Unfinished not polished wheel

Annoyingly i have been bitting and batting at the bike as i was working over Christmas.

I've whipped off the front and rear wheels as the brakes were stuck on, was a bit of a farse as the brake shaft was seized in the housing.

So front is stripped, cleaned, lubed, rebuilt ready go in. Rear is next ...

Perfect will do thankyou

Any tips to secure them? They're loose pretty loose especially the left one it spins on tickover.

I was thinking some bits of inner tube stretched over the clock to bite the rubber housing?

Update

After celebrating getting the old girl going again i decided to throw everything on that i've got today. I also put on a bit of Lanogaurd rust treatment on some of the more soiled bits

Hello all

I'm looking for a few things for 1975 3 1/2 sport

Nearside (if that makes a difference) airbox to carb pipe that isn't split

Knob for "3 1/2" fairing piece

Tarrozi brake lever

Cheers

Great to hear the bike running, Matt!.. Well done you! :)

I had to do a double take when I switched on the video clip. I thought I'd come across the first ever 3½ Sport with a right foot kick starter..

Should have gone to Specsavers.. :wink:


Don't worry you're not the first had a few mates ...

Thanks everyone

Its been quite a journey to get to here, i ended up destroying a carb trying to retrieve a snapped screw out of it.

It ended up being a blessing in disguise as it was a VHBZ25HS which didnt match with the VHB25BS which I'm guessing is why my dad always had issues with it running ...
