Airhead

Greetings XR650R , she's a fine looking example

"but what about the rear light housing, bash plate , fork yokes, headlamp brackets, chain guard and guide, handle bars and under seat rear mudguard support?" Rear light gloss bash plate gloss fork yokes cant remember, satin would look good to me headlamp ears gloss chain guard, wasnt painted...gloss plastic chain guide gloss handle bars, cant remember... under seat mudguard support? you mean the fender support?...this was originally plated

for the fender, you may be in luck...Fowlers have them as listed for back order at £48 +vat https://www.fowlersparts.co.uk/search/part/2a82161180

my fuel tap is like that on a 1979 mk1 id marking on the carb is quite feint, on a flat square section

Greetings spencer, i'm a bit envious if i'm honest

Hey that's a great starting point Andy, you've got a nice example of the very first ones there stand looks good to me, I see you've extended it too.

is it a 3U500 carb? check the id on the side

what does "we went with half a tooth advanced" mean exactly, a wearing (stretching) chain would tend to retard the cams wouldnt it?

we went down in cc's to 125 and made the leap to watercooled, our DT aircooled ended in about 1982 though France had them for much longer (125's)

dunno mate we never got them in Europe, you will probably get an answer on the aussie forum

bummer

its just a jacket DT there is no passage from the jacket to anywhere else

you dont need to do any sealing of the heating pipe spigots...its just a heating jacket !

Dont be gutted at losing by a single £ Unk, for all you know he bid £20 more than you

what about the link i posted?

all I can suggest if you've been poking around in the headlamp shell, is go back in there and check out connections especially browns and reds ?

like that Tommy

this is very odd! have you tested the battery...any life in it?

so you've got no electrics, no lights, no horn, no starter...nothing?

check the new fuse isnt blown, if it is you did something dramatically wrong...dont keep replacing it!

squirt a bit of oil in the cylinder you will gain some compression, maybe enough to start it

ask foamy if he will sell you one..?

very good foamy. you'd fit right in there I reckon

Greetings, those SZR's look damn nice too single cylinder sporty types arent they?
