Hi marcsav,

Are you still looking for a seat. I have one in exceptional good condition that I can sell to you.

Hi Steve,

Last time we were together at the Ace cafe in April 2015

With the extra torque the clutch would slip so I had some clutch springs 20% stronger made . That cured the slip.

Andy, is Glemsek  some kind of road racing track.

must admit it would be nice

There were 20 bikes , out numbered by the Germans

Yes, they were a popular bike in Germany and the U S, not so in the U K,lol. There were 6 of us on 5 bikes, i’m on right , Andy, Kaptainkwak is far left. Lonesome, the 5th bike ,made his own way home

In 2006 we met the german 750 twin club at Deulin in Belgium.

Hi Doctorot,

I have fitted an oil cooler. Mine runs off a modified oil pump that is piggy backed  off the oil pump and the oil lines come out of the engine at the front of the sump and upto the cooler.

Hi Andy,

Glad to see your still running the show. Without you there would be nowhere to get info on the old twin, plus it gives new owners  contacts for any problem they might have,
