my 83 engine has a plug in the upper crank case thats held in place by the generator cover.

thats a nice bit of kit but way to expensive i think !!! mine was free but not as trick. i find pulling the clutch lever near the end also helps, still not as light as other bikes but a big improvement.

I was gona say that Toni but whats the chances of a 600 engine going back in ???

easy peasy, just drill out the rear lower engine mount holes to suit the 1200 engine.

someone will chime in soon and say "fit a turbo"

I had an old small screwdriver that I cut a groove in the blade, and gently tap in-between the head of the pin and the post if theirs enough room, the downward tap is safer that a side tap.

them posts are very fragile so be very carful, the pin is tight at the head end as its slightly wider to hold it in the post so support that post.

the plugs are different from 600 to 1200 so i don't think they will fit, but you can swap the plugs over.

that bike looks well with wire wheels Tony, if I had the cash I would build a pair for mine,

2 tyres of the same size but of a different make will prefer their own pressure, best thing would be to experiment on track

talk about a bodge !!!!!! some people eh

I suppose it depends on what hub you are using ? if its a wide one then the spokes will be further apart. the size (width) of the rim won't make any difference but a wider tyre might !!!!! are you using kat forks ?

I think thats a B12 top yoke, B6 handlebar clamps are part of the casting.

got an old gear lever and cut it down, had to flatten it a bit but looks better than the bodgy one i made. 55mm hole centres if anyone is interested. the only drawback is i have no freeplay at the clutch lever to stop the drag but no slip when wound on.

I'm pretty sure they are Toni but can't 100% guarantee

is that a new type of butt plug !!!!

what about a short timesert ? if its short enough it should lock in place and with the aid of some locktite.

I make my own, just buy the hose and fittings then you can get them exact.

what airfilter setup are you using ?

hope you didn't pay to much for it !!!! good project though

had a bit of an idea, gona find a gear lever that'll fit the splines and cut it down to length. might look a bit better.

its a shame they don't make em anymore

yeah saw them, will need some TLC though

update, finally got round to fitting the home made clutch arm, and its made a big difference. i can now pull the clutch with 2 fingers but better with 4 really happy with it as I was thinking of changing the engine or selling the bike as it was pretty painful. but now its a joy to ride just need some warmer weather now will make or buy a better looking arm at some point.
