I actually pulled out a spare selector drum to have a look yesterday as it is an interesting question, and it could certainly be done that way quite neatly with the right engineering equipment, but you'd need to be sure to get it right as there is only so much you can do with shimming. The selector ...

Modification for external oil filter?

Has anyone engineered what's necessary to fit an external oil filter? I presume this will likely require some machining and/or welding on the engine cases. I have available a set of 860 cases for inspection, the key thing would be where to pick up the feed to the filter and where to return it ...

I'm 58 years old and I've been riding since I was 14. I have 3 Nortons and a Gold Star, all set up on the right with a one down pattern. I've done some switching back and forth between right and left side shift and it makes me hesitate when I'm diving into a corner. I ride way too fast to afford ...

I have multiple motorbikes and they're all "one down" on the right. I want to keep it that way.

I'd suggest if that is a strong criteria, that you look at a post '76 bevel. Why do you care about the pattern and the side so much?

Reversing the shift pattern?

I'm looking at buying a 750 GT. What are my options to convert the shift pattern to "one down"? Is there an internal part? The Brits frequently had/have available a reverse cam shift plate. Does Ducati or do I have to do it with external linkages? I have multiple motorbikes and they're all "one down ...

Darmah, right side conversion possible?

I'm a right side shift guy and am looking to buy a bevel twin. I know it's a done deal with a 750 and some of the 860s. I'd like to know more about the "some" on the 860s. My key question now, is: "Is it possible to convert a 1978 900 Darmah to right side shift?" Can this be done using basically ...
