got a motad system on the project, which sounds meaty and has good midrange to top end performance. My nice one has an original 1:1 which is the best all round for performance, but is heavier

using xs250 wire hubs and respoked with stainless. not done much work lately as no money and other priorities!! need to get tyres and then start finishing those carbs off and maybe do the wiring!!

that's one mint ride you have there! clean machine, well done

alex. that project sounds interesting, keep us informed!!

ashworth valley is nice ( near scout moor)

dip it in OG's tea, that'll strip anything!! failing that, If its just for repainting, just rub down the good paint and spray over it as this is an ideal key for the new paint. If you want them powder coating, i suggest you let the powder coaters take the paint off.

to the forum Pharo. I'll check it out tomorrow as I am a little tired right now!!

excellent OG's glasses, class

knew that was comming!! (said the actress to the bishop)

there wasn't supposed to racing just "a parade" why dont you have a go next year? its only a £5 for 2 x 15 min sessions in your class ( you can enter the under 200cc class and modern class so that 4 x 15 mins for the £5) I got a luvverly red tan didn't expect that much sun!! I went via holfirth first and then back over snake on way home!!

moi!! the xs400.de site has a map which shows the location of members ( in germany of course) which could be usefull if your in a particular area, wonder if it could be done here?

how did you lot get in the pictures? its a 15 rated looks like you had a good time, reminds me of me youth when that car park were fields!!!

did you put in new bearings, and are they the right colour for clearance? are the gears in correctly as they can bind the case and thus the crank

buon compleanno Alex.

not sure bt i know that you can fit forks from a 550 if you want twin disks up front discussed before here

if it is a dohc carbs, they can be modified but its a lot of work to get it right. the dohc carbs are too narrow and a new mounts need to be fabricated as well as the carb linkage. the carbs also have their throttle cable on the right side as opposed to the middle on the sohc bike! drewps

I am riding my bike with it done that way, is that not proof enough!!!

the speedo drive goes on the left hand wheel( as sat on the bike! ) there's not a lot really to go wrong with them as they are mechanically simple utilising a worm drive driven off a "special 2 teeth washer" . this engages with the gear drive, which in turn mates with the worm drive. schematic recheck the spacers and washers are in the right order and that the drive engages in the lower fork properly. drewps

ebay is your best bet and use the brit style stuff!!

fantistic, Bombay Wars ROCK!!!

stainless get them from a2a4 fixings. just get a cheapo caliper and measure your old stuff and order new. I have also tried custom fasteners they tend to come polished with no writing on the bolts
