  1. done that,its soda crystals with an annode of stainless steel. you hook up a car battery charger and depending how immersed the annode is the more current flows. the part is either made positive or neg, (can't remember which) cleans off the rust really good

    first you need a 10mm box spanner and a philips screwdriver. the locknut on the clutch adjuster needs to be undone with the box spanner then the screwdriver can be fed through the box spanner and turned clockwise till it lightly stops, then back it off 1/4 turn. holding the screwdriver still, tighten the box spanner/lock nut up, done at the clutch lever there should be 3 - 5mm "slack" in the cable drewps

    if you are on points, disconnect the charging circuit and start bike (it will run loss less) then you need to check the charging circuit for earthing if it runs. running cdi with out charging circuit fry's the box!!

    This is the world’s largest single-cylinder two-wheeler. It was built by a gentleman called Fritz Langer, and it’s based on an NSU Konsul 500. Fritz replaced the original cylinder and piston with a 122 ci unit from a radial aeroplane engine, but that piston weighed 3.3 kg—over 7 lbs. So Fritz got Mahle to make up a lightweight piston of just 1.6 kg. After the engine block was widened and the crank milled, Fritz was ready to roll. The stainless steel exhaust system, incidentally, is 75 mm (3 inches) in diameter, and there’s no silencer. So it’ll be enough to put even a Screamin’ Eagle-equipped Harley to shame <div style="width: 400px;"><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.gaskrank.tv/tv/intradat/etc/player/gaskrank.swf?image=http://www.gaskrank.tv/tv/intradat/branding/playbg.php&logo=http://www.gaskrank.tv/tv/intradat/etc/player/t1.png" width="400" height="320" wmode="transparent" flashvars="file=http://files.evisor.tv/200708/1451.flv"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.gaskrank.tv/tv/intradat/etc/player/gaskrank.swf" /> <param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> <param name="flashvars" value="file=http://files.evisor.tv/200708/1451.flv&image=http://www.gaskrank.tv/tv/intradat/branding/playbg.php&logo=http://www.gaskrank.tv/tv/intradat/etc/player/t1.png" /> </object> <div style="text-align: center; font-size: 10px;"><a href="http://www.gaskrank.tv/tv/motorrad-oldtimer/bison-lebt-teil-2-1451.htm" target="_blank">Bison lebt - Teil 2, NSU Bison 2000</a> <br>powered by Gaskrank.TV</div> </div>

    the xs special/heritage frame are a lot different than the standared frames as the seats are stepped. it would have been easier to put an xs400 engine in the 360 frame as the mounts are identical!
