A trip to Pennsylvania resulted in a lathed-out keeper retainer for the rear jug "new style" exhaust valve and keepers. One morning in the garage, and, PRESTO!! No smoke at all, and she fired right up. I'll have to balance the carbs and change the oil a couple of times, but she's rolling w...

More intrigue, Italian style. OK, get this: The new valve has a real skinny groove carved around the top of the stem to hold the keepers instead of the wider cut on the originals. Luckily, I have the new style keepers that mate properly with this particular valve. Here it thickens: the collar, or ke...

Greetings, My focus on the bike lately has been on the rear cylinder rebuild (as garage time allows).

I guess I got lucky when I bought t...

Some good news, though not much opportunity for garage time of late. Apparently the little "microswitch" activated by the front brake lever was used also on some BMWs of similar vintage. For $11.00 (American) I purchased a replacement which cures the sporadic response and activation of the...

Cheers.

Being stateside, I was trying to to avoid unnecessary enrichment of the Telcos!

Cheers.

Does anybody have a current or different address that may work?

Thanks.

Greetings all. At the tender age of 19 years I was seduced by my 3 1/2 Sport and took her home. Actually, she took me home. Thirty two years hence, we still share some lovely miles as life's panorama whirls past. Amidst jobs, kids, marriages, rebuilds, etc. we manage to ride with the ease of old fri...
