Try turning the bike 180 degrees. Fit the forks again. If the problem is now with the left leg ... you're on a hill ... DO IT ON THE LEVEL!!!

Pity! So, apart from the original dot head, what else fits?

Spondon? Martek? Home made? Whatever it is, it's got endless potential! Watching this with great interest!

What a find! What a project! More jam than Hartleys! Welcome to OSS!

I have a headless dot head Slingshot motor, and a spare 750F model Slabbie head. Should I play Cupid, and introduce them???

Give Hagon a call in the morning. 020 8502 6222. Half decent shocks at a not bad price. Shop around some of his agents for a discount.

Just stick an oilcan nozzle in the plughole, and give it 3 or 4 squirts. Just enough to seal the rings. Don't forget to vent it out when you're done.

+1 on the valves/rings being the culprits! And welcome to OSS.

Guess they did!

Probably a proper one ... he's from Cheshire!

Hey Slinky, welcome to OSS! Your tank may be off a GS550. Having said that, the opening does seem small, but will still take a std filler nozzle.

Think a 600/750 SRAD is 6"

Can anyone id these PFM rotors? They were sold to me as EFE fitment many moons ago. To be used with original EFE disc centres. Unfortunately, they don't fit! So, as yet, brand new & un-used! I have a feeling they're a Suzuki fitment, GS1000, Kat, ET/EX ect. Anyone got 6 bolt centres to measure? PFM Rotors. (SO27). OD: 275mm ID: 161mm. Min TH: 4.5mm PCD= 77mm.

Welcome!

'Sticky' this???

Doesn't look good! Might be worse lower down!

Welcome, Rich. Would it not be a lot easier just to go straight for a complete 750 motor? There was best part of an Aircooled one going free on here, not so long ago! Why stick to Aircooled? B6, Teapot 6/750/1100, most oil oilers will fit! Make your mind up, and get some pictures up, because ...

Impossible to find, nowadays. Expensive when you do! Once you see the chrome even slightly bubbling ... it's toast!

Cheap enough. Good find!

@RickCIf your front 'guard is in good condition, give the underside a good clean. Silicone all round the mounting bracket, to stop water & mud getting behind it (this is where they rust). Then, coat the underside of the 'guard with either Hammerite or a rubberised under seal. Then it'll last for years!

And a shaved/stroked crank!

530 it is then! @DezzaIt's bog std, mate. Will post pics when it's done. Playing with electrics at the minute!

Need a new chain/sprockets for the EFE. Currently fitted with monster 630. What size can I safely go down to?

Wait 'till it emerges from it's chrysalis this time then!

They go rock hard with age, but can be had from Allens Performance cheaper than OEM.
