  1. got there about 1pm and the sun was out. Not a good trip to Staly Vegas as its mostly motorway or M/C city centre nice GT750 in the car park Henley with Blackburne engine. One of the last bikes to come out of Oldham in 1924 5 cyl KH440 lovely Ossa, which I voted for MV agusta 750s Has a CR of 15:1, top gear for 90 mph and needs 110 octane racing fuel. Terrible in town for riding says the owner (and I belive him)
  2. found some pictures AC Greyhound (thought it was an Aceca at first) plymouth Roadrunner
  3. wow, some welding skills there. The only thing I was concerned about was using solid slugs, the latest thinking is use the same tubing for slugging as it can flex with the pipe. Solid slugs create a concentrated stress area where it ends and the tube starts. Can you can do some welding for me please? PS please post sale items in the for sale section of this forum

    depends where it is? in future |I recommend an 8 sided socket as opposed to the multi sided ones. Have you tried forcing a imperial socket on there? otherwise you can file the flats down to take a smaller socket
  6. or weld on nuts to the snapped off screws, ally will heat up but not weld. then unscrew as normal

    Hi Peeps, I'm after someone who can autocad for a cnc mill. it's for turning a lump of ally into a mount/inlet for the super charger on the XS. cheers Drewps
  22. I suggest you get a manual for the bike as they will show schematics. I have no experience of your bike. you need to strip the carb and determine the thread size and height of the carb so you can gewt the correct mains
  23. whoa, hold on, that's an example. check what carb you have first pilots are for low end running, you can adjust those and when you can't adjust it anymore, then try a new pilot.
