http://xs37.xs.to/pics/05283/darmah3.JPG The gold stripes were also a handful to lay out. The originals were hand painted, and are not symmetrical or consistent in their width. I think it would be near impossible to reproduce something that was originally done so poorly. One of the Bevelheads suppl...

http://xs37.xs.to/pics/05283/darmah1.JPG The paint turned out great. I used Omni, which is a very inexpensive brand. I shot it in my buddies garage/spray booth. My gun was acting up, so I had to use a touch-up gun. That was interesting! The hardest part was repairing the tail section, which had sep...

http://xs37.xs.to/pics/05283/darmah6.JPG The frame, swingarm, wheels, and tripletrees are powdercoated. I had Superdials in the UK re-silkscreen the gauges in white with black letters. The paint and all metal polishing I did myself, with decals from Phil at Road and Race. All new wheel bearings, ch...

Tim O'Mahony's 1978 900SD Darmah

http://xs37.xs.to/pics/05283/darmahtop.jpg Here are some pictures of my restored 1978 900SD Darmah. I first saw this bike on the showroom floor of Jim Woods Motors in Glendale, CA, in the early 80's. In 2001, I saw an ad for a Darmah for sale here in Seattle. I went and looked at it, and examined t...

OK, with a little help from the Bevelheads, and some trial and error, I figured out the missing measurements. #51- 8mm x 27.5mm, rounded on one end #45- 8mm x 8mm, slightly rounded on both ends #50- 8mm Ball These three items may be substituted with 5/16" SAE parts. I found that a 5/16" x ...
