farmer58za Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Can anyone ID this (Villiers) cylinder that came in the box of bits with my Cheetah. There are a few pictures of the same cylinder on this link. There's a 5/16" thick phenolic spacer below the cylinder and it has a chrome bore.

greychapel Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 yes, head not matching barrel Parkinson barrel (cast-in manifold) and DMW head (close-pitch fins)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparks2 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) The head is a Parkinson I'm not sure about the barrel, it's not a Greeves or Marcelle so could well be a Parkinson also. Why do you think the head and barrel are mis-matched?? Edited October 29, 2013 by sparks2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greychapel Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 what did the vale onslow barrel/head look like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickymicky Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Here's a Parkinson- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparks2 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) I think the Vale-Onslow conversion had round finning. Mick's and farmer's both have 7 fins. (so it's probably a Parkinson) Edited October 29, 2013 by sparks2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattylad Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 What is the story of the alloy clutch cover on the water cooled bike looks very trick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer58za Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 Good or NOS early water-cooled Honda clutch/waterpump side covers are as rare as hens teeth. A friend made one up using a pressed out alloy dish with the flat flange laser cut from alloy plate then welded it all together. In addition he fitted a new (and freely available) water pump seal. That photo was taken at the cover's first outing and everything worked just fine. Regards David What is the story of the alloy clutch cover on the water cooled bike looks very trick!
