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

[chrislwg2]

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.

[chrislwg2]

must admit it would be nice

[chrislwg2]

There were 20 bikes , out numbered by the Germans

[chrislwg2]

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

Hi marksav,

In 2006 we met the german 750 twin club at Deulin in Belgium. Martin Schetter had  an 865 he had done and i had a spare engine , so i made it into an 865 , keeping my original engine as it was.  when i had the 865 running there was severe pinking and when i mentioned it to Martin he told me of the second plug. So i fitted a second plug and it cured the pinking. the 865 has been in the bike since 2007 and runs perfectly well on same carbs and ign. timing. My starter motor copes with the extra compression, thankfully,  bescause i’d hate to have to kick start it. Power wise the only thing i’ve noticed is the extra torque. I had the pistons made in germany where Martin had his made, forgot the co. name.

Hi Vic and marksav,

The engine is a spare i had so i bored the crnk cases and cyl. block . Fitted new liners and had it bored and honed out to take 84mm pistons.

When i  got  it running it pinked severly so i fitted a second sprk plug , which cured the pinking.

Hi Vic,

I used an old oil pump internals to make a pump to run piggy back off the main pump.

Hi Steve,

I have the grab rail I took off my bike when I bought it in 1976 and fitted a rack. I’ve looked up my part no. and it’s the one you are looking for.  You are welcome to buy it for whatever you think it’s worth. The chrome is in reasonably good condition, might rechroming  depending on what you want. I could send a picture but don’t know  how to put one on.
regards ,Chris

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.

[chrislwg2]

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,

[chrislwg2]

Hi coleoghf,

Like all things trends come and go. With the retro  bikes around at the moment maybe the z750 twin might become more popular, possibly  more so than when it was new.
