[QUOTE="dave g6xnc, post: 7343, member: 2729"] [b]mono blocks[/b] these appeareed in the early 50's and continued into the late sixties, series D's had monoblocks as a standard fitment. Dunno what you were saying about the valve lifter buit don't try starting the bike without one or apart from having a job to kick it over you'll damage the kick stater mech after a while, it puts so much strain on everything, including your leg!. dave gs. A 48 sprocket would be best as these bikes are very high geard as standard when you start riding it you will probably find your only in third when you think your in top!. Don't fir get these were designed for old time traffic conditions niot the modern night mare. My 1150 BMW gs has a high bottom gear and is not wonderful in traffic so I lowered the gearing slightly and boy what a difference. bit more involved than changing a sprocket though!. Try the 48 see how you go keep an eye on the speedo as well!. dave ( I hate christmas ) GS. [/QUOTE]
