B1 Project Started.

[Tango]

Went through some of the spares ive got today, Had to tidy up my garage.

Heres some of what I ended up with in Boxes.

[Tango]

As well as loads of cables

I ended up with a Box full of Brake and Wheel spares.

[Tango]

I also have all my Carb spares in one box now.

[Tango]

And quite an aray of engine spares and Forks

As well as other stuff! But its all in one place now and ive got half a chance of finding bits I may need now. 😆

[Tango]

Ok After my tidy up yesterday and finding a few more parts, that I needed.Ive made a little more progress on the old girl today.

Fitted the two throttle cables.

[Tango]

Managed to fit a New chain It had a New rear sprocket fitted already,So job was a good one.

I don’t seam to have a chain guard? Anybody have a spare? or know what fits off another bike?

[Kaptainkwak]

I did have one. I will check n let you know mate

[Tango]

Also I have managed to fit the K&N filters to the back of the carbs.

Not sure if I’m going to run the bike like this yet? Or put the air box back on?

Anybody got any thoughts on that? Are K&N’s Ok on these bikes or am I better of with the standard set up?

[Tango]

KK Cheers for that. Any Help would be greatly appreciated!

And as for the big Test fire up date? I don’t have anything set in stone, but it can’t be far away now!

[Tango]

I stripped the Bike back down this afternoon,and started to give the frame a recoat of black paint.

[Tango]

And started to clean up the front end a little, Ill carry on with the cosmetics tomorrow.

Hi Tango,
I wrote a long story but couldn’t post it => time out ;-(
Go for the K+Ns, it is like a music instrument ;-)))
Main jets 5 to 10% larger,
needle may be good in position 4 (counted from top)
idle jet can stay the same or just one number larger.
Good luck !
Michael

BS34 (LTD) carb story with lot of photos

[Michael]

Hi Tango,
I am riding K+Ns on my LTD “Black Lady” since about 15 years.
Even heavy rain doesn’t impact the work they have to do 😉
On my green/black “Jekyll ‘n’ Hide” B with CSR motor, B valve cover (no secondary air system) and LTD carbs I use K+Ns the fourth year now. Works well, only the fuel consumption is increasing during wet conditions and I have nooo idea why?
The “Black Lady” doesn’t show this effect.
Cheers, Michael

Thats good information and advice Michael. We also have a carb conversion here that we do. We put GPZ500 carbs on. These give much better perfomance and reliability, as if we need more 😀

[Tango]

Thanks Guys.

I need all the help I can get with info on these bikes,Most people have only heard of the z900.
