Has anyone got an undertray spare.

I pulled the carbs off, again, to trace the source of a leak on the rear carb. I think this is the first time on this bike an issue has been straight forward to resolve - I'd pinched the float bowl seal when refitted. New part on order.

I've just caught up with this. Great job Fabio. Looks like it's been repainted too so some serious cleaning you've done there.

Tidy Czech lower yolks in place. Great job by Stepan. On reflection they looked better as plain metal but they're not really seen. At some point I'll get SS bolts to replace the black ones. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240422/af2bc9352ef0f1550106ea21e4ce3b11.jpg Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapa...

Balanced the carbs and set the TPS. I also pulled the fairing off ready to take out the front end tomorrow. A little bit of Czech bling is going in.

Woohoo. It's running again. I had the carbs ultrasonically cleaned, just to be sure but I'm convinced the problems were a weak battery and poor fuelling. The Ultrabatt lithium batteries are modular so adding a second one in parallel gives 600CCA and 10ah for just over 1.6kg. No turning over issues n...

All +P&P. Standard handlebars, £15 the pair or £10 each. After market handlebars. These are slightly lower and more swept back. £15.  Starter motor. Refurbished by Agent P on the forum and I bought it from Mac as I thought mine was duff. It wasn’t in the end. Can be seen working. £50.  Starter m...

All +P&P, unless stated. Most of the pix I have are with the stupid Facebook group placard. I'll add more pics as I edit that out. Moriwaki race belly pan. I’m almost certain this is a Mori item not a copy (Bought from Malc). It’s in good shape with original brackets but has been repaired where ...

The roadster version is much better looking and without that horrible inboard front brake thing [emoji2961].

Nice and clean after a brush up. How long before you start modifying?

Edit: Ah! About 30 minutes. I've just seen your forks request post.

Nick, did you mean you could connect two batteries in parallel? Two in series would give 24 volts... On a little 250 cafe racer I built years ago, I used two tiny 6v batteries in series to give 12 volts. I removed the electric start so didn't require the staring amperage., and it was easier to pack...

It's your lithium battery. At least that's my guess from experience. I rebuilt my bike last year. And the year before that. And before... Seems like I've been rebuilding it for years. Anyway, I got myself a tiny little UltraBatt battery (300CCA and 5ah) and it started perfectly late August. For vari...

Welcome back. You've been absent for a while I think?

I'm pretty sure I have a spare oil pressure/neutral switch connector if you need it.
