Have a look at this link Murf

Post Pictures

It explains the best way to post your pictures

If you get desperate mate I still have the mags I got from you some time ago. 16″ drum rear mmm

Welcome back Murf. It has been a while and an effort but at least now you are here again. Now lets see your progress pictures 😀

She is a bit of a beast Michael. I wish I had a lace to ride such a bike. Keep up the good work.

Hi Phil,

as far as the B-models are concerned, it should be 18 mm.
You may use that axle to remove the flywheel and that needs a 18 x 1.5 mm thread.
So axle should be 18 mm !?!
For sure it is not 17 mm !

LTD Twins and some of the early Fours of the Eighties use a 16 mm axle.

Cheers, Michael

That’s a great idea with the hinged seat Michael. Is that the actual battery we can see?

I do like the pond. Any fish in it?

Not long to go now Michael. Chop Chop :hammer:

That is bang on Michael. As far as the inlet cam is concerned I am led to believe the exhaust cam has a bigger lift than the inlet cam and is quite easily machined to be accepted as an inlet cam therefore allowing a bigger dose of fuel mixture to be delivered. I too am looking at this option but first will be shaft drive after Belgium.

The last picture appears to show a mag front wheel but the pin striping on the tank is like a CSR. I am unsure what the model is. maybe its a mixture?

Hang on a mo. Yours is a B model isn’t it. If I am correct the side stand rested on the original silencer so if you have aftermarket exhausts then this might not have the resting spot. A shorter spring or a bracket would be needed

Mine is lightly tensioned when folded up. You could try to bend the hooks a bit more on the spring. This would effectively make the spring a bit shorter

They look pretty OK to me Marko. Quite impressive

That is a great idea Michael and something we will do.

We do have a plan for the trike but we have a project to complete first. The trike we want to be shaft drive so I am looking at converting a CSR to shaft drive before we start on the trike.

All knowledge, comments and opinions are useful when undertaking such projects. I will look at sharing…[Read more]

I agree there Michael. The worst case I remember doing was back in the late 70’s when I put a 2.75 Yokohama rear on my Z1000 MKII 4.00 rim. I had no major problems when riding. Being more knowledgeable I would not recommend it but it did do the job.

It appears the maximum recommended for a 1.85 rim is a 3.5 tyre Tyres on Rims . However I have run bikes with over and under sized tyres in the past without incident.

If you are interested I have a brand new Avon Roadrider 120-90-18 rear tyre mmmmm

Hi KK,

no idea about the disc diameter of the G’s !

They are not included in any documentation I have.

May they use a brake disc similar to the CSRs ?

Cheers, Michael

Do you think you will manage another trip out next season as well or is it a bit early to call that one?

I’m happy with 7 but 8 can go where the sun don’t shine

Good man. Was she sporting a shiney new mudguard?

Well here you are N9VIW you mad it in. Welcome.

I must agree with Michael that most likely is not a CSR and probably an S1 or S2. Maybe even a K with chain conversion. The VIN number will help us tell you the model you have.

What a great introduction there with some top bikes especially the K4. I always wanted one of those until I discovered…[Read more]
