Just need Drinko to fix up your wiring loom, if you could even call it a loom! :-*

Post a photo Paul. I'll have to do something similar on mine.

no, you shouldn't have to do anything for your left hand side, just machine up a timing cover out of hard black nylon
acts as a Nobby's Knob
first point of contact when you fall down on that side is the dry ignition cavity

you will need to protect the right hand side though as that cover is oil filled

Attempted to press off the brush end bearing on my 750 generator yesterday, man, that bugger is so tight, I thought the outer race and the balls were going to give way.

It's been soaking in penetrine for almost 24 hours and I'll will have another go today, with a bit of fire if need be.

Mental note: Buy some more cut-off wheels for the angle grinder.

Well that fixed the recalcitrant bugger, once started it near fell off. No cut off wheels required  :D
 
Packed jenny onto a trailer and took her for a trip to colchester to have the seat and a new tank made. Although the first tank was not a bad take on what i wanted it just wasn't quite right. Why spend money once when you can spend it twice!!! should have her back in about 4 weeks then its all hands to the pump to get her up and running for end of June.

Got a bit more done on the Jota.
Finished off the headlamp wiring, fitted chain, sidestand.
Just waiting for a couple of relays and then the wiring is finished and I can start it up and get it fettled.

 
The weather was a little less shitty when I got up this morning, so I took the Jota out for a ride. First decent ride I've had on it since I got the ignition system working properly.  I'd forgotten how much of a buzz it can be to crank a Jota up to full noise  :D.

The ride wasn't without incident though. First up, one of my bar-end mirrors decided to part company and explore the world on its own. I didn't bother stopping to retrieve the cheap bit of Chinese junk. Besides, the truck I'd just overtaken probably ran over it.

Then I dropped in to visit Tim - dropped being the operative word. As I was leaving his place I had a little get-off in the middle of the bush track he calls a driveway. The recent rain has converted the dust in his drive into slippery mud. Before I knew it the bike was sideways and I had the knee down - not in a good way. I was only doing about 5 kph. Bike ended up on its left side. No damage other than a little nick on the corner that sticks out at the bottom of the primary case. Good thing the bar end mirror had fallen off earlier, otherwise I might have broken it  ;)

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but your chain has already fallen off.  :o
 
Hi all,

I mounted a new fairing to my white Sulzbacher LAVERDA 1200 SC - its out of Bobas production. And a new Sulzbacher 3-1 replica exhaust system - with 45mm down pipes and open megaphon. No soundcheck so far and no testride - I have to wait until spring!

Ciao, Gert

Gert, what do you mean, no sound check? How could you possibly install that exhaust and not fire up the engine to see what its sounds like? What's the worst that could happen, getting arrested?
Hell, I'm going to get on a plane and come and fire the thing up myself. And I'll record it and post it for everybody on the forum to hear (except maybe the ones too busy squabbling to notice....).
