Yea that sounds about right. All fixable without to mutch hassle but I know the new plates and steels are expensive. 

[fatblokeonbandit]

I have a spare complete clutch in a box somewhere 

can’t be arsed tonight, it’s beeeer time 

[fatblokeonbandit]

So found spare B12 clutch, fitted it with one Barnett HD spring..

rwalised why the tap had been modified the hole is to small to take the filter. So I opend it out and bought a new tap with filter 

fitted it all cleaned carbs again!!!

So off I went down the road for a quick test. Got about 500 yard and went into 3 then 2 cylinders !!!!!

Chugged back home and whipped tank off again

Re routed the pipe to both port side carbs so it isn’t kinked

off down the road again and it went OK good enough to try Friday

clutch is spot on now 

got home just as the left foot peg 

came undone and span round

[fatblokeonbandit]

So Brian went ok really, just scraped through noise. Test at 105 db

But  riding back to paddock the other footpeg Came undone

biggest problem was the peg position i

measueed and measure and tried it out and it seemed ok but on track with boots and leathers I could

not get up on the pegs aNd by the end of a go my hip was

kiling Me 

so off to garage to sort that and an annoying misfire at 5-6k then it went like Fek

but brakes and suspenders weee excellent
