I so gotta grow a beard, and get hung.

Don't worry about the beard: we can hang you without that...

You will need to see a surgeon for that, or just live with what you were born with.

Ordered rebuild kits for the complete brake system for the 3CL,hope to be riding next weekend,wish I had more time to work on it

 

[Croix142]

I had my front forks rebuilt to modern specifications, revalved and addressed the spring rate and preload.
Thus, when the forks were removed I sent all of my rusty, pitted chrome parts to the plating shop. When I receive my parts from the plating shop I will have a proper and handsome 1974 750 SF2.

 

[Tippie]

Howdy Croix. What did you have done to the forks, cartridges installed, emulators or what? Who did the work? It?ll be good to hear your report on how it works. SF2 are as great, is it a recent purchase?

 

[Dellortoman]

I was helping a mate move house yesterday and found this old clunker in his shed.

 

[Vince]

Save you a trip to the tip Cam, I will help and take it off your hands, who would want a green one.

I needed to do the bike shuffle, so I took the Pantah for a quick lap of the block before it changed shed spots with the 3C, even after all the suspension fiddling and with the way better Konis off, thanks Jason and replaced with the rebuilt Maz Simbles it still handles like shit. Backburner time. So I washed the accumulated shit off the 3C after last weekends Brass Monkey ride and dropped the oil.
Time it got the TLC it so richly deserved after the long ride it got.

 

[Grant]

The collection has grown a bit since moving into new premises.

 

[LJ-2]

still working on that Sprint I see, nice shot Grant.

Hey looks like some treasure accumulating there Grant.
After a service and a couple of electrical repairs today I took my Orphan 3C out for some great winter riding!! The sun was on my back and that great old triple was happy humming away at four and a half thousand revs for most of the day.
I have done about 15,000km's on her since I built the bike out of a number of boxes of parts several years ago and I have to admit apart from my 81 Jota she really is a sentimental favorite not the most powerful bike but easy and a delight to ride.
I found that a couple of weeks ago the idle speed was fluctuating badly and after a bit of a look I found the heat insulators were
f--ked replaced them all and she is a happy bike once again.

What he said - be good to get a report on the mods and how they feel.

I'm tossing up whether to perservere with my Marzo M1R 38mm forks or go with a modern alternative - I'd love to cartridgify them (Maxton?) but simply can't afford it. If I can make them work like a good pair of Cerianis I'd be happy to fit them - they were crap when I had them on the bike and 17 inch wheels showed them up to be even worse. Stiction city ...
