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...

Cos I'm useless or cos it's a good kit? lol

Okay.....I guess I'll understand when I see the pics lol. I was thinking of using the universal seat mounting kit from Legendary.

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.

Yeah but if you buy a Brough Superior you get murdered by MI5- at least that's what happened to "Aircraftsman Shaw"....

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...

And a bell bubble visor helmet DOESN"T look like that lol

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.

No, no, no this is all so wrong!!! You should be wearing Davida helmets, well IM(not so)HO.

I'm a Brit on the East Coast; can I wear the UK patch and the East Coast patch- 2 more patches is just what I need on an already over crowded jacket!
