yeah I’ll give her a few more miles get a oil change in and see how we get.

Hitting the pants? It’s not too bad when you sit on it. Legs are away from the pipe. It’s a interesting position. Had new valve stem seals in place and it’s done 30 miles since rebuild….

Just a quick one, just finished my build which I’ve put a photo of below. top end refurb, new gaskets new valve seals, pistons and rings the works really: honed the cylinders and watched a fair few videos from all the posts on here. Got a little bit of an oily plug on the left cylinder… a...

I’ll take a look! Thanks

I’ve tried mikes, unfortunately doesn’t stock a 2.75 for the rear. I’ve also tried Buchanan and Heiden tuning over this way. But has no luck.

Hi guys, Can anyone point me in the right direction for a set of rims for Xs hard tail build. Id like to get a set of chromed rims if possible. Prices for chroming here in the uk seem to be a heck of a lot more than it would cost to just buy a new rim.... The wheels are as follows: Front...

Thanks for all your comments, all great info. I’ll measure them up today and see where I’m at.

I’ll have a look at measuring them. I’ll get some other photos also so I can share them and get some advise.

Thanks for your reply, they’re barely able to catch on my nail not that that’s a very accurate measure. I’ll have a look into measuring them with a micrometer. Thanks

Thanks for info it’s a US import, I’ll have a look at the rods tomorrow.

Hi guys, I striped the top of the engine down yesterday as I’m going to get my head and cylinders cleaned up by a shop as it’s looking a little tired. So everything’s in great condition for the age and I’ve gone over all the tolerances and measurements etc. But, always a but.... The pistons...

Thanks for that, didn’t see this post when I was looking through!

Hi guys just thought I’d ask a question about top motor mounts for my hard tail, I know there’s been a few discussions on here about them. My question is, I’m thinking of making up some custom mounts but removing the tubing that goes from the motor mount to the front of the frame..... anyone...

Hi guys, have an issue which has me pretty stumped... had a look through the forum for some ideas but not found anything I’ve already tried. I’ve been riding the bike with no issues and after a new cable install it just cuts out. Clutch in and in gear you can roll the bike forward when off with...

If anyone has an old pair of 1977 forks that they want to get rid of! Let me know!

Off on eBay I go then! The parts that are in there obviously work, but I’d much rather have the original parts!

Fantastic! thanks for the info! That makes a lot of sense..... if I could pick up the 77 bushing parts I assume it’ll all be ok?? Be annoying if Not as I've just spend a lot of money on re chroming....

That’s them on the bike.

Thanks for your reply, the forks are 35mm.... but there much longer than standard. Hadn’t really noticed to be honest as it’s my first xs build. From what I’ve read and seen on a few other threads these are 4” overs than stock. The hard ware that’s been added is to keep the dampener rod from...

Also I don’t see how this is going to work with this C clip at the bottom
