Hi Michael.

It was intentional. That is what I believe it stands for and certainly makes sense with our twins. I was told this some years ago by someone in a Kawasaki shop

I may be able to help with wheels.

I had mine respoked with stainless spokes using original rims and getting the centres bead blasted. I can’t remember the final cost as I had other things done too but seem to recall about £80 each wheel in the end.

Before that I did a refurb on my wheels which went quite well. I painted the spokes and nuts…[Read more]

Hi Leema

I am glad the advice on the vac tap proved good and it was a cheap fix for you.

What is the red line set at on the rev counter?

Standard piston rings on EBAY

Ace café Kawasaki Day on a Honda??? 😆 I don’t know anything about that

Speed up with your rebuild you’ve nearly 4 months man!!!

So we gonna get progress pictures soon then? Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Think I’m going to have to get another garage/workshop too. What little space I had to work in is now being quickly filled up with a pile of twin spares I’ve just bought and I’ve another potential purchase of spares pending

No worries Chrislwg I fully understand.

Michael. I will get some drawings knocked up then we can have the details to get some made.

CCCHHHRRRIIISSSSSSSSSSS

I like that idea.

Maybe it’s worth worth making some blanking plate sets??? I know someone who would buy a set 🙄

Welcome to the Lonesome Twins !

Cheers, Michael

ROFL !
That’s a good one, thanX !

Hi Iceman,

this blizzard is in the german news as well ! Up to 90 cm / 3 feet of snow is expected as we are told.

I have seen much more tires ruined by exposure to UV sunlight than to contact to snow.
So don’t worry about it to much.

Cheers, Michael

PS: Set fire to the snow !

Just to let you know:
This is KaptainKwak (KK) and me (Michael) together in Belgium at the meeting 2014.

Just had a reply from VHT Paints. They don’t do barrel paint in silver. Let’s see what Agent Kaye comes back with

Nice one Chrislwg. Will sort route out to accommodate you

Thank You agent Kaye.

That is todays mission should you choose to accept it!

Very interesting Kaye. Nice find. I am not sure it has a high enough temperature rating (150 & 250 deg C) though with these being old air cooled bikes.

This one might be OK though (600 deg C) Simoniz Silver VHT 600 deg C Do you have that or can you get it through work?

Does anyone have experience of Simoniz paint on air cooled engines?

Will do. I have checked their website and nothing is listed so I have sent them an email. Will report back when I get a reply.

Cheers

KK

Maybe VHT do a paint the same colour as the original Kawasaki silver?

That’s fair enough buddy. I hadn’t noticed that. I was told 26th so I just checked that out.

Are you coming down on the VN?
