Looks good and good-working. When I see the open primary, I am immediatly remembered on my teenage years long ago, riding a fan-cooled 50cc Kreidler moped to a disco, some 15mls away. ´T wasLittle Honda, it has a Norton box so doesn't need a long kickstart, with the touring bars (Suzuki Bandit) and a big belly I'm positioned well back so there's less weight on the front, I'm using progressive springs and 20w/50w oil in the forks, they work really well. The oil tank is bigger than it looks from this side, it's well forward behind the carb and I've never had it get too hot., The primary's an open belt with Commando clutch and a crank mounted Lucas 3 phase alternator.View attachment 41702
It has changed in minor ways since this was taken, guard on the top run of the belt, Mikuni's, passenger footrest and plate gone and another rear chainguard.
good advice, Normski. On the spot, I found fllg. at ebay: 273779221975, 283431152229, 132409164769,For hubs/brakes speak to Howard at Disco volante moto.
67 what? years or kgs?Yes I do start it astride but I'm well behind you, I'm only 67, the motor only has 7:1s in it and combined with the MK2 cams and the Norton box and primary gearing turns over easily, slowly but easily that is, it usually takes 3 or 4 kicks to start, I think that's more to do with getting enough fuel in with the Mikuni's as it has coil ignition. You will notice there's a toe guard on the brake lever and the Commando clutch doesn't have any protruding sharp bits, also I wear safety boots for riding.
