I’m very interested in the Y1 forks and wheel mate. Will ring you probably tomorrow

Hey Snakey welcome and do not worry about spelling n stuff. I’ve met your kids and know exactly what they mean but i’m on your side pal.

The build is starting to come together. I am intrigued as to how it will turn out so please keep us updated as you go along.

Sadly during migration of the old site (which was apparently as good as impossible but Matt  managed it) pictures didn’t come across. Any help with this will be gratefully appreciated as the only way we know ATM is manual.

Cheers Beachcomber.

$150? I would give you your money back for the exhausts if they are original and half decent. Like you say it couldn’t be turned down at that.

Ah that kinda makes sense now.

My guess is the frame on the rolling chassis you have will be a 79 B4. Do you have the papers for both bikes?

Hello Leonard and welcome to our site.

It does look quite a decent twin you have there. A 1979 model is most likely to be a B4 although it could be a B3. However after saying that the front end looks to be B1 or B2 as it has a leading caliper which was trailing on the B3 and B4. Maybe the spare frame has been a donor of parts and is an earlier…[Read more]

Good words there AtLarge.

Irma has been devastating for the US. We are lucky we on receive the remnants of such weather,

RIP to your bro and may you keep his legacy alive.

You need to ignore these heathen types. They obviously don’t know what we do or the bikes can do and don’t have any assistance like this site can offer.

F*&k em and let them live their rose tinted glasses lives. As long as we are happy it just doesn’t matter and works in our favour.

LONG LIVE THE LONESOMETWIN

Hi Sam

It does sound like a fuel mixture issue. Have you checked the carb to head rubbers for perishing or leaks? If air can enter this will potentially weaken the mixture. Also are the carbs well balanced?

When the mixture screw is fully in place it shuts off the air. I always start at one and 3/4 turns out then use a colourtune plug to a…[Read more]

Hi Marko

Thank you for adding the pictures and welcome to the new site. I hope you like it.

Sadly in the transfer we had issues with pictures coming over. We are working on it but it is a manual task and will take some time.

Enjoy and shout for help if you need it.

The Kawasaki part no for the oil filter is 16099-002

There are quite a few after market elements out there available from Wemoto, M&P, Zpower and most other suppliers

Good your on the case.

It is fine to use the new site as very soon it will be the main site. That goes to everyone else too

Do know how you get on.

It is good to see the ‘NEW’ site which will be running properly soon is usefull

78 suggests B2/B3. Does the generator cover have 3 screws visible from the outside like your B1?

It is very possible the engine is not the original fitted one but if you want to give me both engine and frame No’s I can tell you for definite.

The 16″ drum didn’t appear until 1982 with the CSR (M) and the Y1. They are distinctively different in…[Read more]

I’ve heard of that one but never been. Whats it like?

Did Caveman this year (and the previous 10 lol) but this was the last one for now.

Need a new rally for next year but not a big one

My humblest apologise Richh. I have all the items here. Will send you a PM mate

Not quite my cup of tea but I fully appreciate the work and engineering.

Very nice

They look like 2 different models. Do you know their full ID’s and origins?

She looks good Grinkle. Where was that picture taken?

There are a number of possibilities here Gringle. I am away tomorrow till Tuesday but will be with you to help from then.
