He's right! Had a H*nda 750, and the clutch used to rattle like a bastard until the carbs were balanced.

Done that for years! Never had any bother with the clutch at all! You're better off if you can find a piece of 'o ring' stock, because if you cut a piece out of an existing ring, it always seems to have a very slight bend in it!

Lovely clean looking bike! Take you wherever you want to go...and back again!

If you want to keep it 'Old Skool', use the Slab motor. If you're going to screw the arse off it...use the B12. Not saying Slabbie motors aren't fast (before I get flamed), just Bandit motors are a lot younger, and being so...less fatigued! Only bugbear is the clutch and, as YJ says, easily converted! Your choice!

Nowt wrong with an EZ! That's next on the list. If you don't fancy it, PM me the guys number?

Naaaah! Bastard of a job! Nightmare!! Impossible!!! I'll do you a favour and take the wheels off your hands! Just get stuck in. What's the worst that can happen? Someone will be along in a minute and tell you all about it!

He's right, you know! That's why CV's won't 'choke' when you whip the throttle open, whereas others (VM's and Flatslides), will!

Makes sense! Cheers Ted.

I've taken the drivebox off the kph speedo on the 750F Slabbie. I've put it on an mph speedo, which came without a drivebox. Will the mph speedo read true or not?

Date of registration has nothing at all with what model it is. Many motorcycles were bad sellers, so stood on showroom floors for years. Some sold were a couple of years old.....but registered as new.

Now why didn't I think of that! The top lip is to stop the wheel spindle from turning. Cheers, Cap'n!

These are from B12 (Mk 1 or 2) ? The arm, when I can remember where it is, will be going on the ET. What I want to know is, as you'll see in the 'photo's, both are different. Which goes where, ie; disc side, sprkt. side?

You can cut/channel the frame near the sw. arm pivot, like Strangwayz did to Porkys Kat. But...it's an awful lot of work. Whether it's worth it in the long run, is up to you!

Was going to suggest hydraulic lock, but I see you've covered that!

Aye, all these old cases have been around for quite a while! MIght be a good idea, before the next build, to have the cases Magnafluxed?

There ya go!

The rear mudguard of the Slabbie is looking decidedly tatty! Have any of you guys done the Heatgun trick, to restore plastics? And...mine has deep(ish) scratches. Would progressively finer grades of wet & dry sort the scratching out, and would the heatgun trick then work on the 'guard?

You may find, if you use a 180 tyre, the stiffening webs inside the arm will have to be ground away about 1"-2" to clear the tyre. You could then chamfer and cap it!

Get them posted up then. Shy boys get no cake!

Cheers Bud! It's the same up here. 'Canna see a finga afore ya'!

Nice looking bike! I like both paint versions, maybe slight lean towards the second one. But...think of all that polishing!!!

Viz. Pop a coupla 'photo's up of the Dudettes bike?

If you do decide to get the cases welded, take the pair of cases bolted together, to the welder. They should also be pre-heated before welding.

Can't beat Blue & White! Looks great!

Oh...as an afterthought...if you do use the miss-matched cases, and everything spins nice and free, check the sides of the casings where the alternator and points covers fasten, in case there's a step.
