Posted September 12, 200915 yr Managed to source a replacement alternator rotor from the Jawa owners club, and now im on my weekend leave i have had time to fit it, took a few kicks to start it after 3 weeks of not being run but now it lives!, getting about 13v across the battery with the engine idleing and 14.5v at about 2000-3000rpm. equals one happy foamy t'is coming together nicely...
September 12, 200915 yr go foamy go. I wouldnt beleive everything he says, he told me he was helping Rolf Harris move house ?
September 12, 200915 yr Moderator I wouldnt beleive everything he says, he told me he was helping Rolf Harris move house ? B4stard, told me he was in Paris.
September 12, 200915 yr B4stard, told me he was in Paris. and all along he was flying his JAWA, the little lier?
September 12, 200915 yr Author no, the Jawa isnt flying yet, its still in my dads shed with no front end , just need to change the front brake pads and make a rear brake pushrod...
September 12, 200915 yr Moderator well done foams! getting there!! you'll soon be like tom cruise in topgun riding your Jawa with your Fairchild F-24 Argus in the background!!
September 13, 200915 yr well done foams! getting there!! you'll soon be like tom cruise in topgun riding your Jawa with your Fairchild F-24 Argus in the background!! more like a little FOCKER in the back ground.
September 13, 200915 yr Author i thought tom cruise had a Seca in top gun, and they flew the F-14 tomcats... :S. nevertheless, fork seals and oil have been ordered, so once the stanchions return from re-chroming (thanks again, Jim! ) i can get it on its wheels, another weekends work and it'll be ready to fly
September 13, 200915 yr Moderator i thought tom cruise had a Seca in top gun, and they flew the F-14 tomcats... :S. exactly, you are the foamy version
September 22, 200915 yr Not tryin to be a smart arse but in Top Gun it was a Kwak GPZ900R ... the first production bike to hit the 150MPH mark.
September 26, 200915 yr Author ah fair doos, i just assumed it was a seca because of the front end styling... looked a bit seca-ish... but you have to admit, "Vegas" sounds almost as awesome as "Maverick" , and when the chicks see my roll up on my Jawa they will be all over me, i would have to fight them off with my awesome biceps of awesomeness, because i would be sooooo awesome...

February 21, 201015 yr Author decided to revive this old thread... got the fork legs back but they haven't been touched, so does anyone know a place in/around telford or Birmingham that will be able to grind and re-chrome them at a reasonable cost?. put the forks back together anyway so i could get it out of the shed, will be taking it up to cosford as soon as i find a suitable trailer
