shakennstirred Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Hi im looking for some air caps for a 79/80 Beamish 250 As you can see from the pictures, a monkey has been at mine. One has been drilled and rethreaded with a different valve. they dont leak, but i want to get them looking the same. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ourian Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Have a look here http://www.airshaft.co.uk/airshaft_spare_parts-valves.asp If not search google for 'schrader tank valve uk' you'll need to find out what size the thread is in the fork cap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shakennstirred Posted May 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Update on the item. The old part # 51351-38600 have been superseded, new part # is 51351-41211 and is the same item that's fitted to a GS1000 Got one new off Ebay £16(Suzuki wanted £37) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakennstirred Posted May 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 The air cap came today, just need a new valve now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakennstirred Posted May 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Finally Got everything together. One or two things different. Yes the Cap fits, but you can no longer slide the fork leg out the top yoke, because its 37mm wide, So people will need to remove cap or file it down to 35mm. Also the New valves are same thread and 14mm, but the part where the valve cap goes is shorter(pictures show that). Only problem I found with that was checking the psi with my gauge, it lets the air out instead of reading it, as its not long enough to seat on the seal in the gauge. At least its looks better now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
