Hiya Sam

Think you’ve got a decent deal there mate.

Exhausts is always a slight issue. Firstly are you looking for a full system or just replacing the end cans?

Hi TJ,

the screw size is an issue in itself.

The mounting torque of the smaller one (MF10 x X) is 75 Nm, while the larger one MF12 x X) gets 120 Nm.

If the smaller one was overtorqued you can even see with bare eyes that it is lengthened.

To fix this screw correctly, directly impacts the function of the starters freewheel clutch.

It must be…[Read more]

Hi TJ,

this time it wasn’t me 😉

I fully understand why it is required to change the concept as often as needed.

There is something in mind and a POC shows that it might or might not work.

I would try to get any external device driven from the ignition side of the engine. There is a “dry area” with a sealing ring in the clutch cover.

Congratulations Sam and we’ll done. I too am excited and look forward to seeing some great pictures of B3. What deal did you manage to get in the end?

Hi Sam

How far from standard is it and how close to stock do you want to be?

Richh’s bike seems to be a great starting point to achieving your goal and apart from the obvious original exhaust pipes it is achievable at (in my opinion) reasonable rates.

I know Richh quite well I have no reason to doubt the standard of his work.

I would suggest…[Read more]

Your invitation is graciously accepted Michael. Thank you. I do hope one day pretty soon I will take you up on the offer.

I am now though expecting to see a 750 twin palace. No pressure ha ha

Workshop:

Ordered a spraying device, to be blown by a compressor, to paint the walls in white.

Will save the brick optic, looks clean and will enlighten the room.
In addition I will mount the lamps from my existing workshop over here.

Parts storage in the loft needs some construction work to create a reliable floor to walk on. Only the loft…[Read more]

Thank you guys !

It will be a Twin meeting point for sure and our private summer party is already scheduled:
Fr. 4th to Su. 6th of August 2017.

You are invited 😉

Well, we will move from beginning of April, have to sort several things (house, garden, hut, workshop, etc.) during May and from Fr. 9th of June this years bike season starts with FOT…[Read more]

That looks a beautiful place Michael and Maria. I would love to live somewhere like that.

May I suggest it as a future IG annual meet venue? Hee Hee

The “garden area” behind the house.

In the center of the last pic you see the house we are currently living in 😉

Cheers, Michael

I know a little about this one. I believe the guy bought it off ebay from DK for just under £2000 so there is probably a little room for negotiation with him.

I recently got a price for bringing a bike up north by courier. Best 3 prices came in at £150 so that’s a good ball park to work with.

On the anal side it is a B3 model. Ignore the p…[Read more]
