I use the molasses a lot. I used in the barrels of my stinger and they came up a treat. The guy other the my dad that taught me a lot about bikes use to use it on whole bike frames in a 44 gallon drum and there were bikes that from 1910 onwards. In short it's a great way to de rust steel parts...

Hit the wrong button. I think I have the port times for the rd200 in one of my manuals. If you need a theoretical places to start before you measure them in the real world. If you are going to go down the having them made road.

Ta125 pipes could sap some of your power as the port opening and closing times are a fair bit different even from the rd125 motor the the ta125 motor is based on. So the positive and negative waves would be off from timing wise. There is all so the change that this would give you a much small...

Is it me or does that venier look wrong not the way it's being use but the measurements on it.

Hi all I am doing some market reseach for a Cafe Racer Shop in the Brisbane, This is going to be a standard motorcycle workshop that does cafe racers as well. The intent is to steer away from the bolt on parts maket that deus does down in Sydney, bearing in mind that some parts are cheap to...

Here is a pic of a mock up so I could get an idea of how the seat would look once it was finished and that the foot controls didnt bash in to my exhausts. I will post some other pic in the next few days with the fibre glass seat on so that I get a better idea Cheers bondy

sorry about that I must have been having a brain fart at the time of writing. Mine is a SOHC 81 special. I will have to have a look at the liners in my engine, However I am looking at getting another full top end so that I can play around with the ports and the rockers and maybe the cams...

I thought that I would post some pics of my Xs400 that I am working on. I am still thinking about the seat at the moment but I am thinking that I will cut an inch and half maybe two inchs out of the riders seat and cut it straight down from the pillions seat. I have to be about to ride two up.

That is a t125 Stinger. The wolf had a more rounded tank that I don't think looks quite as good as the stringers. Some of the early one can be called a flying lepard but I have not been able to tell when the name changed. or if it was only called that in some countries.

I am rebuilding a 1982 XS400SE in Cafe trim but the Front Forks need some/alot of fork oil/ auto trans Fluid. I am wondering how much people are running in theirs. If I do run fork oil it will probably be 30w. Thank Bondy

*EDIT* Grrrr. Reading further, it says to use automatic transmission fluid for my year bike (K5-K7). WTF? My understanding is that Auto trans Fluid doesn't aerate. I think this is a fairly common thing to do.
