Well firstly congratulations on getting her running.
It does NOT matter which order the yellow wires are in. It is a 3 phase charging circuit and each of the 3 phases are identical.
I can help with the stator. I will send you a PM.
Cheers

Hi Andy
The conversion to chain drive is simple. All you need to do is remove the pulleys and fit the chain and sprockets. The rear hub is the same fitting for both as is the drive output shaft splined section.
With regards to seat and tailpiece etc then no they do not interchange. However I do have a pattern here that a mould can be made from…[Read more]

Hello Andy and welcome.
I’ve never been that keen on Ducati styling but that really does look nice and a bit of a beast. I compliment my twins with a ZRX1200R.
It is an interesting request you make there as to what you want but more so about what you want to do with it and i’m sure I can help with both.
I have a dismantled K model here, the…[Read more]

That is good progress. When I look at how it was when you bought it I can hardly believe what you have achieved. She is starting to look like a decent bike again.

Why Wemoto for the switch? I can do those for £35 plus postage.
Anyway the switch is generic and used on various models. If memory serves me right you don’t need the spade connector wire. Just tape the end up and tuck it away. The 4 pin plug goes straight in and I think the bullet connector needs to be swapped for a female.

Hi All
I have found a guy to have a go at manufacturing Rear Grab Rails in STAINLESS STEEL. I have sent him one to copy and he has made a sample for me to check out which is on it’s way to me. The price for a One Off is around £100 but if we get a decent volume together it could reduce to around £80. I will post pics when I receive it.
Please l…[Read more]

The way to test for the correct shims required is to fit one that is too small (the smaller the better) then measure the gaps. This way you can work out what sizes are required.

Kaptainkwak replied to the topic Need a starter Motor for a B1 in the forum The Trading Post 3 years ago
These are quite a rare commodity. In all my time with twins I have never seen a new one. No one makes an aftermarket version and as far as I am aware these are unique to our twins.
Like all things with moving parts they do have a limited life span and as the starter is unprotected at the front of the engine they get probably more than their fair…[Read more]

Kaptainkwak replied to the topic Kaptains Log – The story of my B1 in the forum New Projects 3 years ago
Thank you.
Took me around 3 months of pains and pleasure from start to finish but the results is well worth it.
I am planning a B2 next . . .

Hello stranger.
I did notice you sniffing about and had wondered about that frame you knicked from under my nose ha ha.
That’s a nice tidy project mate and looks quite the part.
Is it for green lane or road use?

Very nice attention to detail and quality. It’s looking like your almost there . . .

Kaptainkwak replied to the topic Old Chop Starts after over 15 years in the forum Projects and Progress 3 years, 1 month ago
That is indeed good news and great progress.
The compression is obviously low and will need to be addressed (156 standard – 114 min with no more than 14 difference between cylinders). This could be down to several things but most likely will be valve clearances and/or stuck rings. Leaking head gasket could also cause this but I think you would…[Read more]

Yet another beautiful restoration will hopefully spring into life again very soon. Keep it up

After all the work you have put into this I just want her to run sweetly.
