Not a Yam, but my auld Speedtwin so delete if offensive to anyone

Mrs Jimmy just bought me these for my birthday, albeit she doesn't know that yet. Anyway a few questions for those who have done such things

3mm Stainless or 5mm alloy or what for the plates

Where is a good source for the connecting rods and fixings

Re:- The tank...Alloy tanks are funny money so thoughts on a decent looking tank (as long as it it single spine, I can fabricate and weld lugs to suit)

S/S is best in my opinion, it gets dirty but really don't need a lot of cleaning whereas alloy even with a coat of lacquer needs care.

Can't help with con rods and such, last place I used went out of business in 1979 (gulp!) Pride and Clarks in East London I seem to remember.

I have an XJ 750 tank in the garage, been there for the last 4 or 5 years, dry stored and stripped, I figure if I haven't used it by now it's never gunna get used, if your interested let me know Jimmy.

Are we talking the same conrods....I'm on about the rods connecting the original gear selector and the rear set.

I'll measure up the tank length and let you know bud.

I used marine supply shops. just need to use google. get the ones with a reverse thread on one end

 

zipkart shops are also good for stuff like that

Ah "connecting rods NOT "Con rods" sorry mate just put it down to old age!
