16k kms good condition, mature rider used for short work commute, but now I am retiring, I no longer need this bike. Mainly stock, some cosmetic upgrades, $4000. as-is where is. Some negotiated delivery is possible. E-mail @ alcutter@msn.com for pictures.

Looks to me like you have a nicely cold forged (pounded) steering head. Consider what that did to the aluminum, and surrounding area, joints, etc. Also consider that welding introduces even more molecular stresses. Next, consider what your life is worth, if something unforeseen lets go at the...

You need all the lights connected or it won't flash. led's mess up the flash rate, usually very fast.

Carbon core wires will work, but I never liked using them.

Done plenty of alignments, retrofits, etc. Have a machine shop in my yard in Hamilton. Send me a msge if your interested.

Have had this motor in my shed now for 5+ years. Ran well when removed for a custom swap. Bike is long gone. Bring a case of beer, and take it away.

Brass, being very soft, has the possibility of peeling if it jams against something. This has the possibility of leaving fragments behind. I wouldn't use them.

I would say strip the carbs and boil the castings, there is dirt somewhere. Also check condition of tank, re source of dirt.

You wouldn't be interested in a spare motor by any chance? I have one out of that exact bike decorating my shed. It's of no use to me, but I would like to see it go to someone who could use it.You can have it dirt cheep, ran A1 when I took it out. I also have various other left overs from that...

John Deere Blitz Black, from a farm implement dealer, gives you a satin black finish, and is 1 step. I did my full size pick-up for under 100. in material. I also used it as a base for my BSA side covers, and cleared it with high gloss. Both turned out very well. Google it , the car guys all use it.

As a machinist, i will say 120 is cheap, like you. I would toss you out of my shop, and tell ya to do it yourself.

Stick about a 4 foot long pipe in 2" diameter, and give a little pressure cold. You will be surprised how easy you can tweak it sometimes. Just take it easy don't break it off the other end. If you get 3 buds with propane torches, you'll get it hot enough also.

I could do it on your way to Dunnville. :) Larry.

I have been looking for a winter project, hopefully old and British. I went for a ride on the BSA this morning, and decided to go by a pals place that is pretty well versed in the old Brits. To shorten the story, I'll just say that he has a 650, and a 500 triumph, that he has restored. He has...

I'm on Hamilton mountain, I can help you out.

Check out TSC stores, if you have them in your area. They have a deal with Praxxair. I use them for oxy acetelene.

I would be looking for a bad ground, start with the main cable. I wonder if hitting the starter is supplying a ground to the battery somehow? I once found a small guage ground in a harness that was green about 20" up. Larry.

What kind of bike do you have?

Just saying if you need a cheap chain they will work.

+1 on the rotors? my 2007 Bandit makes this noise, I feel it's normal.
