    "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

    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.
  7. is it a 3U500 carb? check the id on the side
  8. what does "we went with half a tooth advanced" mean exactly, a wearing (stretching) chain would tend to retard the cams wouldnt it?
  9. 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)
  10. dunno mate we never got them in Europe, you will probably get an answer on the aussie forum
  11. its just a jacket DT there is no passage from the jacket to anywhere else
  12. you dont need to do any sealing of the heating pipe spigots...its just a heating jacket !

  15. 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 ?
  16. this is very odd! have you tested the battery...any life in it?
  17. so you've got no electrics, no lights, no horn, no starter...nothing?
  18. check the new fuse isnt blown, if it is you did something dramatically wrong...dont keep replacing it!
  19. squirt a bit of oil in the cylinder you will gain some compression, maybe enough to start it
  20. ask foamy if he will sell you one..?
  21. very good foamy. you'd fit right in there I reckon
  22. Greetings, those SZR's look damn nice too single cylinder sporty types arent they?
