    Just a small update. The tank and plastics are in the process of being painted. I saw the guy yesterday and all the prepwork and repairs is done, he just needs to paint and finish. This should hopefully be done in the next week or two. I have sourced and installed the correct springs for the...

    This week I received some parts from Germany. New fuel taps on both sides of the tank, and a new chain slider. I fitted the new taps and they work well. I also finished all of the fuel lines. The bike had a charging issue which got worse and worse. I tested the stator and that was fine, so I...

    Baie dankie almal, en veral dankie aan my Pa vir al die werk wat gedoen is op die lig. Ek is baie tevrede en dink ook dit pas die fiets beter.

    I got the fairing back last week from my Dad, and over the weekend I started to fit all the plastics back onto the bike to verify fitment. The headlights fit perfectly. I am now busy having the headlight brackets lasercut from 2mm mild steel.

    Hi all Progress is now again being made with the bike. In December I had a bit of time to start with finishing the bike up. I finally installed new throttle and choke cables, put the tank on, filled it with fuel and went for a proper first ride. The bike feels great on power, even with carbs...

    Just a small update. The bike had some carb issues. It would idle fine, but when throttle was applied, the bike had a misfire. The one carb would also overflow easily. I took the carbs apart completely and found the main jet blocked on one and in the other I found dirt in the needle seat. I...

    This weekend I focused on a few small items. I installed the heatshield and airbox permanently, neatened up some cables, and installed the new chain. Also checked the valve stem seals again, no issues found. Today was also the first in over two years where the bike moved under its own power. I...

    This weekend I had some time to work on the bike. I was unsure what to do about the exhaust system, so I decided to clean it up and go from there. I turned out quite good. For now I am happy with it, as it looks a bit better now. It also sounds very good in my opinion. I ran the bike yesterday...

    Thanks The next big jobs are the exhaust system and the painting of the tank and plastics. I am considering finding somebody to build me a new exhaust system and adding a nice pipe as the old one has seen better days.
