I would be interested in these parts if no one else wants them and the price is right. They are not as such needed as I have plaenty so will go into my stock for future member use. What is your price?

Hi Beachcomber
There was a fork brace on ebay the other week. I will see if I can locate it again.

Hi and welcome.
It is good to see another person getting the bug.
I must apologise but due to a glitch on the site I appear to have deleted your membership by accident. Please would you re register.
Thank You

I was looking for smoked covers for my CSR to match the rear light cover. Do you know what other models the lens covers will fit? I’ve ordered a set of indicator bulbs. If that goes well I may order LED’s all round. I am not a lover of the twin filament indicators. I’ve disconnected the front ones on mine.

As far as Philpassing is concerned this is the real McCoy lol.
She is beginning to look like a bike pal. Keep it up and hopefully we will see her on the road come spring.

Looks brilliant AtLarge amd glad it went well.
I didn’t do the DGR this year but I do respect all that did.
Your bike looks amazing and I am glad she is behaving.
What indicator lenses do you have?

I have running a B1 and a CSR. Both have stock setup and foam K&N filters and both run fine without any adjustments.

A very good question Leonard. It does seem like he was trying to make it run richer for whatever reason. Some folk have no problems and like pods while others seem to have little joy and hate them.
A few members have converted to GPZ 500 carbs which don’t naturally fit with the airbox so necessitate pods. I know one member (Tango) fitted GPZ…[Read more]

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.

Kaptainkwak replied to the topic Hello from the high desert in the forum New Member Introductions 8 years, 5 months ago
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?

Kaptainkwak replied to the topic Hello from the high desert in the forum New Member Introductions 8 years, 5 months ago
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.

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

Lonesome
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
