Wow KK, she is beautiful. Great choice with the engine paint. Looks very natural and not too in your face.

That looks very nicely done smiddl. Can i ask what may be a stupid question?

What are the benefits of a single carb? (Apart from it looking sexy as hell)

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Heres the video so you can here the chuffing. Really prominent from 26 seconds in</p>

And a vid showing the oil accumulation under the manifold.

As you sit on the bike, cylinder 1 making the chuff noise, cylinder 2 smoking from manifold with burning oil as…[Read more]

Head Gasket sounds a lot friendlier than the valve seals. Would you advise to try the head gasket first, and then do the valve seals if needed or would you do all at the same time? I’ll put a video on youtube later and send the link so you can see what i mean about the chuffing sort of noise. ive never seen it before, but ive only got experience…[Read more]

Im an office monkey by trade. I had a lot of exposure to bikes growing up as my best mate was a Professional Speedway rider so i spent a lot of time around bikes and helping out but engines i never touched.

Serious question, how many hours of engine work do you reckon it took you guys before you got confident and enjoyed that side of it. It just seems so dau ting having not stripped an engine before. They are a thing of beauty, but daunting.

Hello again all. Hope everyone is well and ready for lockdown to end!

I just checked the logbook and it does indeed say red. My mistake.

Here’s a photo of the 2 sets of side panels I have

The US bars are high but I’m liking the seating position. Haven’t ridden yet but I’m expecting big things from her

Hi KK. Thanks for the info on G model, she is a 1980 V plate.

The seller gave me a newly covered flat seat as well, and 2 sets of the side panels. I’ll add photos later when I go in the garage.

There is a scratch on the tank paint, showing blue paint underneath which ties against the logbook. Will have to find a picture now of a 1980 g model in…[Read more]

Just wanted to add, I’m not entirely sure what model I have, all I know is its a US import. Vague I know! Thanks.
