shipdamite Posted July 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Hi Ted - the ty engine is with my mate mark who is a brilliant engineer. he is putting right all of the wrongs that have been inflicted on it since 1976. I have been doing the same with the rolling chassis. its not being 'restored' just repaired, so it can be a reliable as it can be. hope that your trial went well matey. those little connect vans look good for everyday use and getting a bike in the back..............

shipdamite Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 fitted my apico bendy levers as recommended by matey Ted. Lovely bit of kit and highly recommended to you all. also changed the cheese philips head screws on the master cylinder covers for countersunk black alen head bolts from local bolt shop. 10p a piece and they wont mash up when trying to undo them (tried and tested on enduro bikes) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 dont forget to grease the rim of the filter zipster ;-] makes a better seal that way! trimmed 3/16 off each end of the handlebars and installed new grips. Doesn't sound like much, but made a big difference in whether or not my wrists ache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) Today I fitted: the V-mar carb adapter. made connecting the air box and the carb ten times easier and more secure. http://www.vmar.com/carb.html V-mar Plastic Chain guide/tensioner I just like them better than the standard rubber ones. V-mar 15mm bar risers. These made a big improvement on riding position, this made a great bike just a bit better. I took a quick buzz around the yard and over my logs. Just made it more comfortable/easier to ride for my back. (sorry if my post appears to be an advert for V-mar...............oh and speedy delivery as well 2 days.)

snobbly Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Cleaned air filter, fitted new tank breather pipe ( broke the old one) and still waiting for my front wheel to be respoked so i can put it back on.... my continuing efforts to master throttle control resulted in multiple impacts needing repair ! I have noticed the bike seems to do better without me on and keeps going really well until it hits something - usually a hedge or a tree..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
