What's this?

[madsen5]

I've got a 77 standart that I bought in pieces a few months ago. Now it's all comming together and I only need to put a few pieces on it. Not many problems so far but I've got a spring that I can't seem to find a place for. Please check the picture and tell me where it fits.

I'll intruduce myself and the bike in a new thread when I have it all put together.

- hi...welcome...it doesnt ring bells for me...cant really get a good sense of perspective without something tangible to compare it with...at a guess could it be the spring from the sidecover bolt

Half of a valve spring??

 

[madsen5]

I think it's to big for sidecovers. Also not valve spring ;o)

I got another picture wich show the size better. Creditcard and tape messure for reference.

The guy I bought the bike from also had several Triumph's BSA's and about 50 classic mopeds, so it might just be something that fell into my box of parts. I guess if you guys can't see what it is it probably isn't important.

I think its the rebound spring for the front forks.

How do I know? When I took my front forks apart to replace the seals one of those went rolling out and I didnt find it till 2 months later. Ended up cutting a small block Chevy valve spring in half to replace it.

could be spring on fourth starter gear? looks too thick though.

I don't think that's a fork rebound spring for the dampner rod...

At least it doesn't look like any of the ones I have ever seen.

its a whogeewhatsit!!

 

[angus67]

your prolly right. it fell in your boxes from the guy you got it from. Take it back to him. he will prolly say' I looked everywhere for that damn'whatever it is' I just imported one from england, and paid a fortune!!'

I might just give him a call. He also told me that if anything was missing he would have it somewhere and I need the chain guard.

Thanks for all of your sugestions!
