Thanks Patrik The info in your drawing would equate to an angle of 17 degrees measured at the top. Makes mine look quite "relaxed"

What's considered to be a good compromise angle for steering angle ? Currently about 23 degrees. Thanks

I liked the Easy Rider look !

Thanks for the answers Patrik and bestrcpilot, both make sense. Not to concerned about extra wear on the heel of the points as they generally last year's anyway, the dwell can only change by 10 / 20 degrees, will that make a significant change on a single cylinder engine ?

Its alot easier to change the timing by opening/closing the points, rather than taking the flywheel off and moving the back plate. But, is there any reason not to do it this way ? Thanks

Offer still stands !

Ordered some parts from Martin Matthews of Motoswm on Monday, arrived this morning. Thanks Martin

The whole point of a pressurized system is to increase the boiling point so you don't lose coolant, you have a major problem in my opinion.

Get one made up in steel, difference in weight the same as a dump ! Forget changing bearings, spacers, snail cams and slot in swinging arm ...... why ?

Read Baldilocks answer, it will take years to get to his standard of riding, take his advice. Footrests are not the only bits that bite.

Shin / knee guards, footrests bite.

Peashooter and Colt 45, might is right !

I agree with Charlie, we know what you were thinking !

2 reasons, will wreck bearings if your not carefull, and when you wash the bike by hand you notice potential problems like loose spokes etc.

FIM needs to change standards by the sound of if ?

They do spek them though !!

Maybe just unlucky, a friend uses them and rates as said. We ride mostly rocks here.

If it was running ok before the repair it will almost certainly be something that you have done, go through wiring again again.

Check / change gearbox oil, check coolant level, check fan comes on/off. Brake pads, and fluid levels. Wheel bearings. Swinging arm / suspension bearings. Spokes. Don't wash with a pressure washer. Wear sunscreen.

Good to hear problems being faced head on. Ben probably to young to be sued, Andy however .........

Maybe he has ??

Is Vee Rubber available, probably good enough for these applications.

My friendly machine shop has plastic (which I use for the chain tensioner blocks) could machine as an interference fit. I personally think it looks better.
