Moderator DirtyDT Posted May 19, 2012 Moderator Posted May 19, 2012 Not bottom end rumbles again. It reminds me of Squires. Great story mate. In '76 I was riding about on a TS90, soon after changed to a GT250 Ramair. Oh happy day's!!!
nayruf Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 Really nice just like the bike I first learned to ride, would love mine to be that good, Is that a piece of hose around the side stand? gona copy that, will stop the stand from bashing the passenger foot peg,
2 Wheels Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 Looks great John, When i seen it in your shed you had a lot of work left to do. You will enjoy pondering round on her in the summer evenings.

blackhat250 Posted May 30, 2012 Author Posted May 30, 2012 Not bottom end rumbles again. Well found the cause" its the rivvits on clutch basket , thers free play,,, yeh lots,,,, can you rerivvit them or just buy another basket..?
NEV Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 A cracking job on the bike John, nice one, as for the clutch basket you do get a little play in the base cog plate as it has cush rubbers sandwiched inside, 2mm would be classed as normal play any more than that would be classed as excessive, can't re-rivet either new/second hand basket needed mate.
