Swiss Toni Posted July 23, 2020 Posted July 23, 2020 You only need a ‘Mad Max’ now! Looks great! Quote
inazumarob Posted July 23, 2020 Author Posted July 23, 2020 Paint does not come out well in photo. It is a proper Candy Apple Red, looks lovely in the sun. 1 Quote
inazumarob Posted July 30, 2020 Author Posted July 30, 2020 Been having issue with dragging clutch, I have stripped clutch pack and inspected everything. Clutch steels look good and are flat, fibres look good and meet thickness specs. When I looked at rear of clutch hub, I found this. New one now on way, so will find out if this is causing the issue.

inazumarob Posted September 3, 2020 Author Posted September 3, 2020 I changed the clutch centre for a brand new one, seems better now. Will find out next year when I use it regularly. Got painter to add stripe to tank and mudguard. Think it looks good. 6 Quote
Swiss Toni Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 Stripes finish it off nicely. Looks great! Quote
Dorkburger Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 About the clutch. Mine never shifted particularly smoothly and I thought it was just the nature of the beast. Several years ago I had it apart and found a spacer and shim that were supposed to be behind the hub missing. Their missing damaged the oil pump gear and thrust washer. After replacing the damaged parts and properly shimming the hub it was like a whole new machine. Great job on saving that mess you bought. It looks great. Quote
inazumarob Posted October 1, 2020 Author Posted October 1, 2020 Thanks Guys, spent far too much rescuing it, but would have been scrapped else. Little bit of work to finish, then on to the next one (1100et) 1 Quote

We do it because we love it. 3 Quote
