The damaged rear head from the beginning is now repaired with Valve guides from Ernst Hegeler .The work was done by Traupel Motortechnik in Germany. Erik

Is that the same Mr Traupel who made himself a big V Twin engine from scratch which he squeezed into a BSA frame if I remember well? That was back in the late 80s or early 90s?

The same Mr. Traupel, indeed!

This bike was put together from parts and the fork is from a Horex and the frontwheel is a Münch Mammut one.Unluckily the hub is cracked and is made from magnesium which can not be weldet I think.The UFM is the early type with no slot for the rear damper.

Well why not get someon to mill a slot in the RFM , I did

 

[erik]

I milled a Slot in the ufm to fit a hydraulic damper. E

I milled a Slot in the ufm to fit a hydraulic damper. E

A slot would have been an early modification for older models. I guess that most people would have used a hacksaw and file in situ rather than strip the bike to get the UFM in a milling machine.

4" angle grinder with 1 mm cut off discs are the best thing ever.........

 

[erik]

I used an elektric saw.

That's what I should have done !, Not to lower it but just beef it up a bit,
I think I will regret it later ?. Cheers Bill.
