BasilF, Thankyou LMFAO

OK from the UK, I seem to recall this happening before....

BasilF, if you could let me have the part number for that, I'll add it to the parts list.

Or Blighty...

This is why it is better to post pictures on this site rather than links to another. If the other site closes, changes its permissions etc etc, the context of the whole thread can be lost. (It cost Rickard more to have more storage, but creates a more robust historical reference).

My bad, of course the "T" has a smaller hub, see Johnq1's picture...sorry!

If you are going to use a brake stay it MUST be under tension, buy you don't need one if you assemble it correctly!

<135 to the form Momus. Would you update your profile and let everyone know rough;y where you are please? To have a wet sump, the oil level would have to ve below the crank/flywheels and of sufficiently large volume to keep cool, unless you had a cooler in which case you might as well have an oil ta...

He responds to emails very quickly, I think he is hunkered down in the garage like everyone else at the moment (I wish, I'm still at work)... So you think putting an image of an email address will make it invisible to bots? I would have thought that adding an OCR function would be no problem for the...

I recall there is a drawing on the forum somewhere....I've tried a search but can't find it.

Update: ..... the problem lies with my virus protector which strongly advises me not to log in. I have overridden it a couple of times in the past, via several stages, but with the amount of problems I already have with my system I’ve decided not to risk it again! So, if you have an engine for Brad,...

Not used them but Classic Speedometers sell parts and on this page say: "if you don't see the part that you need please give us a call to discuss your requirements."

BSA_WM20, Thanks for this, I've reset Brad's password emailed Brad him his new log-on details. I've also removed his email address from your post for security reasons....hope he finds an engine...

Putting this info on the forum is what the forum is all about, please publish this when you can.

What stops the vent cover closing during a race beat? Can you get to the primary drive without removing the chair? I think your fan may whistle....

Dave, great to hear from you!

When you fill it with oil kick it over (plug out, not on any stand) until you get a return (best get someone else to kick it over, suggest a teenager).

I got my last one from ebay, like this for about £10

For info our crankbuster strikes again

Jerry T, the ratio is stamped on the brass ring that retains the gubbins in the gearbox. Remove the gearbox from the back wheel and you'll find it. It may be worn off, so you can gauge the ratio by turning the drive and counting the output revs....

What is the drive ratio?

If you fit an emulator, won't that take care of the damping so you won't need the original valve and O-ring?

I recall a square cross section fibre ones, L&P Williams stock them here, but that is $33 for a pair of glorified O-Rings!

The speedo mechanism is basically a magnet spinning in a cup. The cup is connected to the needle and is returned to zero by a spring. When the magnets turn they drag the cup (and hence the needle) round against the spring. You can get awesome acceleration if the spring breaks! :ban If the cable is n...

johnu, this doesn't answer your question, but have you seen this?

I do hope that once you have drawn the frame in CAD you will share the files here for the benefit of all...

OK, didn't realise you couldn't keep it on the road, I'll change the poll, so you might want to change your vote

Shawn_Mc you can change it as well, edit your original post scroll down to Poll creation and follow the instructions, I know blokes don't read instructions, so just have a go!

Poll added....just for fun

This is where the oil should be in the gearbox: http://www.b50.org/phpBB2/download/file.php?mode=view&id=10259 and it takes about half a pint from memory. Rather than mess about, drain the oil and put in just less than half a pint, leave it on the centre stand, I don't think it will leak. Your level...

I enjoy the pics you guys post from that rally, one day, maybe one day..............

johnu wrote:Probably not significant

Probably right, I certainly wouldn't notice but my riding style is more about hanging on rather than worrying about suspension geometry!

You left the A/R mechanism in situ? Take it out and replace the bolt, it will only rust up and/or wear out.

milb50, thin wall cable (as well as thin wall hose) should get those ignition wires through that grommet (or a piece of twin core). Its a pity that Trispark didn't go for some PCB mounted screw connectors (there appears to be room), and the earth wire could have been replaced by a reinforced pad und...

Technical reasons in favour of one system over another are always interesting, individuals have a plethora of reasons why they prefer one system over another, these will include price, performance ease of fitting and adjustment, weight etc etc. Some will be able to express their opinions eloquently ...

Who knows what will happen? Keep making plans and cancelling them.....but still have the hotel at Pendine booked!

Happens on its center stand?

Maybe your gearbox is too full, I don't think the level should be so high that it leaks when vertical.

to the forum Triton650.

Would you update your profile and let everyone know roughly where in Blighty you are please?

I'm sure someone with PVL experience will be along soon.....

My bad, got the wrong side...sorry

Next year, come to Blighty and I'll put you up ....

You having a bad day nopdog?

Hi Richard, guess you are isolating yourself in the garage...if that is the drive side mainshaft diameter you are after, I'd guess it is the same diameter as the bearing inner, so I looked up the dimensions of a Hoffmann R325L and I got this: Hoffmann R325L Imperial NF305 Cylindrical Roller Bearing ...
