The slide that came with the bike is a # 70-_,and the bike will NEVER run properly with that slide. (This is the sort of thing people had to work through in the Bad Old Days.) Replace with # 60-1 slides,and set the pump volume delivery for 5cc per 20 squirts.This is Gospel for every Dellorto ...

I've been running some Blendzall octane booster in my fuel,it has castor in it and it smells like racing! Seems to make my Buell run a bit better too but could just be the aroma.
How much are you adding per litre/gallon? I'm not really interested in a performance boost but I remember standing at a ...

Hi Macdesmo/Ian and others,
That is incredibly sad news. What a knowledgeable and generous person Kev was.

Lovely work. Curious to know the source of the stainless mud guards. Did you fabricate them?

Kev, In a clicking torque wrench it occurs not on the fulcrum and not at the end, but usually 1/3 to 1/2 way up the lever. So how does that affect tourque readings with a straight lever extension? Steve Foster???

The really important thing to remember is what BevHevSteve pointed out i.e.

... that's not how I see customising. I see a bike as a starting point and just make it as beautiful a thing as I can, I make a lot of new parts and change a lot of things but a lot comes down to just making whats already there perfect. I like to make some things better than new, mirror polished ...

Hey Spag, yes, several questions are indeed begged. However, this is not me, it's not my bike and it's not my cat (I have an Eclectus parrot so the last thing I would want around the house is a cat) so I'm unable to address them. I remembered seeing this a couple of years ago and tracked it down for ...

Just so happens that a friend of garage-mate Tom gave him an old automotive brake drum turning machine.
