  1. Thank you much appreciated
  2. So Dyna have joined the stupid people by outsourcing their manufacture to somewhere shit...ffs why does no one learn? My coils are from the mid 90s so I guess im ok
  3. Not had a problem myself but I'll take your advice and rubber mount mine
  4. That's another new one to me, i thought they were bullet proof, good to know
  5. Thank you for such an informed reply. Learn something new every day. I wanted to understand for general future reference for any bike.
  6. Can you explain in simple terms what causes this @billd, electrics is something im not very good at understanding. Thank you
  7. Mixture setting, too lean? 2.5 to 3 turns out it should be depending on set up for most oilers, don't know about your model. Without balancing those carbs you have no starting base in my opinion
  8. I move house the day after so no, but I've been to Newark its a good show. Next time im in
  9. LoL !! i think Si is right,.round ends to frame
  10. This is a really good forum, not full of "experts" talking a lot of shit, the people on here really know their stuff. Wish I hadn't assumed the same with the other bike forums I joined, strewth, some proper blockheads dishing out utter garbage Ive still got a niggle about those brackets!!! Going to try turning mine
  11. You're absolutely right my friend...
  12. That's probably right then...my error
  13. @billd Your brackets are on wrong @Swiss Tonithe foam piece pic
  14. @Swiss Toni L 42.5cm W 3.5 cm T 12mm There is a small cut out for the spine at the top
  15. @billdDo yourself a favour buy new carb rubbers - airbox to carb - 4 of them...or prepare to lose skin off your hands and your sanity
  16. Thank you, its the no1 love of my life :-) I've not had to do engine work aside from a new oil pump and tappets. I change oil every 12 months or 2000 miles, no issues. i have had to rebuild my carbs - and I have 1100G carbs for a smoother life Regarding Suppliers - I tend to use Frettons in Leamington Spa- they're just ok folks, or Fowlers. Have used Robinsons with an OSS discount but didn't notice any big saving. For carbs only use oem Mikuini, everthing else seems to be made of cheese. Needle float valves best sourced oems from USA to save a fortune. However folk on here praising Wemoto, and their needle floats are from Japan. Im wondering if they are rebranded Mikuni- good price and they do take product seriously If you need a mechanic the only man I trust with my bikes is Andy Kerfoot in Coventry- hes just very very good indeeed. Every other mechanic I've met has been full of shit or a total butcher. I use Andy if I dont have time to do a job on my bikes. I'll pm.you his number Always happy to answer any questions
  17. That's better. I have a sneaking feeling your front brackets are the wrong way round - nothing lines up if they are wrong. I'll check mine tonight...i could be wrong, its one of those that I always have to alter!
  18. Yes i will do that tomorrow for you @Swiss Toni
  19. Ok...I'll get on it next week
  20. I can post the relevant ones - l took them for insurance valuation purposes. I'll do a build thread next week if no one minds...in projects or oil-cooled? Im guessing oil-cooled Reference Pics???
  21. Ive rebuilt mine twice since the mid 90s and im in the West Midlands, so local to you for help if you get stuck. Mine is exactly the same as yours
  22. I have loads of slabby F pics build in detail if needed by anyone. Let me know
