      I think we've just got to think of all these issues as "character". On just enjoy tinkering and riding. Modern bikes just don't make me...

      Have you checked your steering head bearings? I fitted taper rollers. Even after a total rebuild I get a slight judder. I think maybe...

      Hi I rebuilt the forks on my 1974 TX650A around two years ago. I don't recall any bushes. If your forks are worn out it may be worth...

      Very nicely done

      Very neat voltmeter solutions. Mines a bit of a bodge in comparison. A bit like I'm expecting it to fail.

      I wired my voltmeter in as I was fitting a boyer bransden electronic ignition. I was tempted to fit a relay and wire directly from the...

      I used a cheap Chinese digital voltmeter. I wired it after the kill switch. That gives an idea of what is reaching the ignition. And if...

      I'm really pleased with the look. It's an "off the shelf" vinyl sticker from a uk supplier.

      Back in the day 🙄 Dunlop tt100 and Avon roadrunners were the tyres to fit. Things move on.

      BTW Nice bike! Really like the green. Thanks for the positive comments. I'm pleased with the green. It would have been pinstriped bit...

      In the UK they seem quite common. Three local bike shops offered them. All at good prices compared with the Dunlops. Maybe it's because...

      I've fitted continental K112 & RB2 to my recent build. They were around £100 cheaper than the Dunlops. I've used Dunlop on most of the...

      That's probably the best way. Though I seem to get stung everytime with purchases from the US

      It all seems a bit random. I regularly purchased parts from Heiden during my rebuild usually around £200 each time. I had to pay duty...

      Hi Tony. I can't find the receipt. But my wife always keeps a spreadsheet for every bike build🫣. In October 2023 I paid £149.13 for two...

      Thought I'd post an update. And a thank you to everyone who has helped, so far. Just been for a run, around 10 miles in the local area...
