I just tried that very process for the first time. $11 each installed, Competition Auto, 395 Red Maple L4C 6P3 Ive swapped out a lot of Triumph & BSA guides, and I like this method a lot more. Any clearance you want.

Ive used these type fuse boxes on a few re-wires. The top row of connectors get a wire right down across all of them, connected to ignition switch, and gets a cover made from cutting a piece of fuel line to cover, and a couple dabs of black silicone keeps the cover in place. The cover is below...

Im a firm believer in a kill switch at your thumb..iI got later alloy switchgear- a joke, compared to Japanese gear of the same era- but I know my around around them- I just use them to control a relay. the small load means they don't burn and so forth. I ran those later switches for years, but...

On the head, barely a pass- just enough to show its flat.....and, yuh- there was umpty changes to the pushrod tube sealing rings and stuff....this is all original, if abused.....I got a gasket set from MAP cycles- they make their own, pretty much. ANYHOW, tracked down a old machine shop with...

No....you can easily get the bushings out of alignment with each other, causing binding that soon translates to sloppy bushings. I found a shop thats been around long enough to have reamed a lot of auto kingpins. $20, next day service, dead true, optimal ..... Berco Machine, 163 Milvan M9L 1Z8

the reamer needs to be at least 7 in long, to cut both bush's at the same time, so they are aligned w/ each other. Thats the tricky aspect. If I ream one side, then the other, they may not be aligned, so the shaft will bind.....

neither big local shops have an expanding bar long enough. Shaft dia is .874- its an old Triumph. thx, Mutt

Neat things! I think the one small indicator that changes colour will go into the Trumpet I'm working on. I run bicycle speedos on my bikes. Cheap and small. $20. But they aren't illuminated.....the price jumps up into the hundreds it seems when ya go looking for a cycle speedo....you folks know...

Im not a fan of sandblasting aluminum bits, but there were two broken fins on this one....donor fins located and welded, and the sandblasting removes the weld.....kept the damn thing outta the head mating surface and combustion chamber. When the valves arrive, Ill swing by some shops to see...
