  1. that's what I had to do to mine. made big washers and drilled 3 holes around them to get some weld in there. also had to weld a "top" on the mainstand as this was worn as well ( both wheels touched the ground on mainstand) drewps

    to the forum Andy. I'm sure someone will be along to answer your query (not me though )
  3. no pics here mate! I hope you had a good day there?
  4. if you have 2 disks for the front that's fine. thought you only had one (250) on the front! just helping you source another disk if the master cylinder from the 650 was for twin disks, it should be ok!
  5. if you have the mounting for a caliper on the left side, you can use SR500 caliper and caliper mount (it even says left on the mount) you can get disks either from ebay or maybe the sr (not sure!) you then need to make up some new hoses as they will have to go from the master cyl using a double banjo. you also need an XS1100/750/850 master cylinder to push more brake fluid. the wheel has a plastic cover on with drillings for the brake disk.

    just for the record, please don't shout (you're in capital letters) as its rude and normally when you meet some one for the first time you say hello and then you can presume our willingness to help out!!
  8. cut very carefully with a dremmel and chisel out the last bit
  9. nut and bolts, parafin and shakey shakey. I would suggest lining the tank with POR15, its a kit with acid etcher and the 2 pack sealant. I'm assuming your from UK as you said petrol, so www.frost.co.uk is a good supplier drweps
  10. you normally don't touch it as it works from vaccum. don't have it on prime, that's whe you disturb the carbs and they need filling before starting. the bit you use to turn ie the long part should be; down for on, and forward for reserve and pulled facing backwards for prime could be the pet-cock diaphram is perished, you can buy kits to repaire them drewps

    a heat gun is a craft tool not a paint stripper tool. good point though
  17. electrex is a good company, if it were electrix than i would be doubious as they might be trying to drum up trade by association!! ( never heard of them anyway) as for the rd's I'd PM merv as he is mod on the rd aircooled site and speak with him!

    pre-ignition? check timing if you can and colour of spark plugs could also be piston slap
  20. Ned, I know some peeps who bypass the switch, I don't have one on mine(SOHC Model). I think its just the laws there which determine if one is fitted drewps
