wild foamy Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 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...

up.yours Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 B4stard, told me he was in Paris. and all along he was flying his JAWA, the little lier?
wild foamy Posted September 12, 2009 Author Posted September 12, 2009 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...
Moderator drewpy Posted September 12, 2009 Moderator Posted September 12, 2009 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!!
up.yours Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 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.
wild foamy Posted September 13, 2009 Author Posted September 13, 2009 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
Moderator drewpy Posted September 13, 2009 Moderator Posted September 13, 2009 i thought tom cruise had a Seca in top gun, and they flew the F-14 tomcats... :S. exactly, you are the foamy version
shakey666 Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 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.
wild foamy Posted September 26, 2009 Author Posted September 26, 2009 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...

wild foamy Posted February 21, 2010 Author Posted February 21, 2010 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
