Re: 1962 BSA DBD34 Gold Star restoration (Speedometer is restored)
This is a fantastic thread though I'm sorry to say I haven't read all 49 pages yet! Did it turn out to be the close ratio gear box? If it is guard it with your life. I had one on a 58 Triton back in the UK and bought the bike...
How are you finding that hotwing seat? Did it come with any mounting instructions/kit or was that left up to you? How did you mount it? I've got an OIF seat on order from them so keen to get some advice from someone who's got one.
So just to put info out there on dry ice cleaning:
I spoke to a local company (I'm in Baltimore) and they wanted to charge me $500 to just do the engine only. Which I thought was a bit steep!
I spoke to another company and the chap who answered the phone was an old car enthusiast and he said...
Try looking at omars web page: http://www.rearsets.info/ they do Raaske and Tarozzi rearsets.
I fitted Raaske rearsets on to my 78 CB750 and they mount to the engine mounting bolts NOT the passenger footrest holes so i was able to cut those little triangles off.
You do need longer mounting...
Wow, great project thread.
Thanks for the heads up on the dry ice cleaning. I've just googled it and there is a place in my town that does it so that's how I'll get my engine cleaned.
You, Sir, are the dogs bollocks!
A very good Aussie friend of mine whose family arrived in Australia on the first fleet always says if his people had been religous zelots rather than criminals he would be an American.
Sorry to hi-jack your thread, I'll get my coat. Taxi!
The guys a Rocker on a Triton Cafe Racer- he looks down at everyone and everything so of course he sneered at the guy on the Honda. He's not some touchy feely warm and fuzzy PC wimp.
Rockers were 1%s before 1%s were invented. Though they weren't (as a rule) into the drug thing- that was more a...
Pudding basin helmets are what you are looking for and I highly reccomend Davida. I've got (only) 5 helmets, 3 of which are pudding basin and 2 of them are Davida.
Quite simply they are the dogs bollocks.
I dont have a pic yet but some of my patches are sewn on (at a local saddle makers) but mostly I prefer to do it my self with glue and studs.
Firstly I glue the patch in place with rubber cement (comes in tins from Lowes) and then I press the stud in place where it is going to go. Then using...
My Honda Cafe has a seat and tank combo from Benjie. (And I'm very pleased with it)
I've been thinking about using a seat from Legendary with their seat fitting kit.
What I need to do is get off my arse and measure the rear end of the frame to work out what will fit. I was just hoping someone...
If you like those check out Benjies Cafe Racer site, he makes them. I've got a set on order at the moment- though they are a bit more than the OP paid for his!
Hi,
I've got a 1979 Triumph Bonneville frame which I will soon start rebuilding as a Cafe Racer. I'm going to stick with a steel stock tank because it's an oil in frame frame so quite wide.
Does anyone on here have a lead on a company that makes seats for this frame? I want the classic racing...
