Just my 10 cents but for what its worth I would take those forks out and pull em apart as that oil will be well old and you wont be able to clean them properly in place. Also a chance to replace the fork seals as they will be old too and being made of rubber... not an expensive part. That's what I d...

Ah OK, cheers for that. You got the more sophisticated model!

:lol: Yeah I've got too used to perfectly mapped fuel injection. And if it's not perfectly mapped then I flash it till it is lol. I'll persevere for a bit longer as it's become a long term project now, then failing that I'll try some Chinese flat slides haha. One thing I have eliminated is the cutti...

Interesting. Both those ports on the side of my carb are blocked off with machine screws that look kinda factory. I cant see in your photo where the other end of the hose goes to but there's no nipples or anything on either of my inlet manifolds. I wonder if this is why my bike runs rough when getti...

My carb only has one fuel line coming into it. The 'computer' one is a bit bizarre, what year is it? I'm sure my fuel line set up has been changed from stock but the main feed hose that runs from the fuel tap has a 'T' join in it mid way along and a hose runs off vertically back to the tank. That is...

Yeah it'll be the stand compressing one fork more than the other. Stands that locate under the steering stem are the way to go. Then you can pull your forks out easily to work on them etc. Worth investing in. Another way round this would be to winch the front of the bike up with a rope/strop around ...

Great job on those
I gave up on mine as I plan to do 17" wheeel upgrade. I have the rims sitting there, just need to find time.

The jaw is 75mm long and 6mm thick on the flat side and 5mm thick on the top and bottom wings. The swing arm height is 50mm neat so it needs clearance on the internal dimension to fit over that. HTH

Can measure mine tonight after work no prob.

Ali express and Temu . Bead blasting ? , did they come up OK , just that I have bought a pair of Delorto PHF36's for my Guzzi and they do need some attention cosmetic wise but I didnt want to polish them . I thought maybe soda blasting . Possibly soda blasting, couldnt be sure, but looks good IMG_1...

700 bucks ! far canal ! did he gold plate it ? No but he did bead blast it! :wink: Theres was heaps wrong with it, a lot of bits replaced and time spent on it. It came back looking like new. Hey what site were you looking at the Chinese FCR's on? Is there room between the cylinders for two carbs? I...

Hey Pete, I had a weber specialist overhaul my carb but it's still fluffy and hesitant getting back on the gas coming out of a corner. They suggested increasing the size of the pump jet but it turned out the previous owner had already done that tricks so I actually decreased it to a .35 (I think .25...

Heck that is picky for old classic racers. A lot of guys would be in the same boat surely? My 2 into 1 muffler is marked 'Nevva Rust' but a google search doesn't bring anything up. We are still lucky here in the South island of NZ with regard to track regs, no BS rules about what you can run or nois...

Wow that looks pretty tidy! Not sure on the seal size but I have a packet out in the shed, will look tomorrow. Cheers for the pic post.

Rodger that. Once I've got the valves done I'll fire it up with the clutch out and see what I can see.
