Wasn't me Simon, been working from home all day out in the garden cabin.

I must have a double

Very nice - I have got wind of a very nice, very original H2 so will chase that one up.

I have had every size of Triples over the years, if I manage to secure the H2 it will be my second one.

Cheers.

Now sold, did not get what I wanted for it, but near enough.

It has been fun being here, you are an incredibly helpful and knowledgeable group, and made me feel very welcome.

I was sad to see the bike go but I was not prepared to risk getting brake and gears mixed up again.

Plan is to use the ...

The pictures are the ones that the guy I bought it from let me have as I dont have any later pics.

Open to sensible offers if anyone has any interest.

Thanks.

Did cross my mind, but decided against it.

Reluctantly I am going to have to sell my 1982 3 ½ Strada, fitted with an S engine.

Reason is that I just cannot get the hang of the RH gearchange even though I was brought up on them.

I was out on it during the dry cold weather and got myself into a bit of trouble by hitting the gearchange ...

3 possible things spring to mind.

1. Air filters - are they clean?
2. Float heights - have you checked them?
3. Chokes - are they sealing correctly when in the off position?

Just a few things that sprang to mind.

Bought a 955i cylinder off E Bay for £27, now have it fitted, but not had a chance to ride it yet.

At £27 no great shakes if I dont like it.

Pushing the bike around the brake action feels a lot less grabby / binary than it did, the lever certainly feels less wooden.

Looking forward to some ...

I like to keep riding all year, but only use one bike for that - my Enfield Himalayan. That is my all weather bike. The Himalayan gets regularly washed after riding and treated with ACF50 as necessary. Biggest enemy is salt hence the regular washing.

The Morini is currently parked up and as with ...

Yep I have used the solid aluminium ones from Mdina.

Only out about 40 miles or so on it so far as not really been riding weather - too much rain, and I never that it out in the rain.

If we get a decent cold dry day I will probably stick a few more miles on it.

Took opportunity to take the bike on it's maiden run after the new rings / exhaust valves.

Did just over 20 miles keeping the revs up / not letting it labour, did not take it any higher than about 6K. Did the 20 miles in 2 10 mile sections letting it cool off between runs.

No dramas, ran perfectly ...

Thanks for that, might give one a shot on mine.

If it gives the brake a bit more "feel" / makes it more progressive that will do me. As it is the brake is a bit binary !!

Seems to be a few on E Bay at the moment.

Hello there was just reading through this thread and read your recommendation for a ST 955i cylinder - so all you have done is swopped out the stock master cyl for the ST 955i one, everything else is stock ?

Only asking because mine has double discs, and despite the ...

Thanks Norbert, I followed the guidance on torquing the head bolts in the Blue Book.

I'll keep an eye on things but I will remember to tweak the exhaust nuts.

Thanks for that George, good to hear from someone with experience.

To be honest I was not looking forward to having to take the valve gear off again.

Appreciate that the exhaust nuts will a re torque.

Just need some decent weather to get the new rings run in.
