Re: Oz-Boxerworks - Spring run
Late to the party, too quick to reply. 25th/26th Sept is no good for me. It is the weekend before my partners big exhibition and there is virtually no chance of me making it then. Nonetheless I am still in support of the 'more is betta' concept so if that is the earliest date that works with most of...

Re: Oz-Boxerworks - Spring run
Late to the party. I will try to be in with the next ride, hopefully spring (the proposed Sept dates), and hopefully be in with the one after, during early summer. If the spring ride runs late I might get caught up with impending serious commitments, and if the summer ride run runs late I might get ...

Re: Rear main seal question
Yeah sure, that certainly makes some good sense. I was only suggesting that as an option if you didn't want to deal with it yet and wanted to get a bit more life out of the parts. Before deciding it might be worth checking your pressure plate and pressure ring- they are the only things that will lik...

Re: Rear main seal question
this what snowbum has to say on it "New discs are ~6 mm thick. When worn below the official limit, 4.5 mm, they may slip. Slipping tends to show up first when using large amounts of power in top gear. If the rest of the clutch parts are in reasonable condition slippage may not occur until ~3.5 ...

Re: new swing arm
As Bamboo said, I would just look towards a monolever or paralever for inspiration in welding on upper shock mounts to the frame. The single mono-shock upper frame mounts seem to very rarely suffer any failure except on the most heavily abused bikes, so if you make two of them like that then I would...

Re: Heated grips
As Charlie says, I suspect I am one of the riders he knows who are happy with the newest Oxford sports grips. Very happy. I too went the cheap way first with those thin under grip heaters. I did some tricky wiring to be able to turn them on in series or in parallel or off through a big ugly three wa...

Re: Handle bar levers and throttle suggestions?
Thanks Airbear, and thanks everyone else for the help. Ive off loaded all the original controls, levers and throttle. Ive fitted a set of new after market 22mm handle bars to the bike which fit snug into the original clamps. I am completely re-wiring the controls using Motogadget gear. I am at the ...

Re: Rocker arm regrind
Hi Jeff, thanks for the reply, I think my tips are pretty much full profile, I posted some photos over in a thread in Adv, http://advrider.com/index.php?threads/used-valve-spring-length.1149317/ It is not so much wear on the profile with mine that is concerning but rather a line of pitting, which is...

Re: Rocker arm regrind
Hey Jeff, I've been doing a little googling on regrinding rocker tips and came across this. How have yours stood up? My tips are from the last version of the heads rockers (shimmable)- late model D-port heads. They have a little bit of flat spot wear, a touch of pitting, nothing too bad but would be...
