Hello Sam.
I don't have a computer. I don't even have a Telly!
I do what bit I do on my phone.
I don't use social media. ie, Facebook, WhatsApp etc.
I feel the likes of FB is killing the forums.
But thank you for your kind offer of help.
Regards.
Sean.

Well, I'm amazed. We don't have a TV either, haven't had one since we moved over 3 years ago. We  don't even watch TV programmes via the computer. We had heard there was someone else in the UK without one.....it must be you 😀😀😀😀 By the way people moan about the rubbish on the telly, all 978 channels or whatever it is these days, it doesn't sound like we are missing out on much !!!!.

Thought I'd reply during an advert break on 'Flog it' 🙄. I didn't have a TV for 5 years in the late 80's and never missed it. I didn't have a car for 15 years, didn't miss that either! I got both a TV and a car when I met the o/h and now suffer with strictly every Saturday evening after I have managed to find somewhere to park 😟.
Nice looking bike Sam, that's some oil filter you have going on there!

Wow guys, I'm the other way round, I have a TV (for what it's worth) but Smart phones, they're just to smart for me. hahaha.
I was going to say, if you had a computer, I could have talked you through it, but on a phone, I've no idea what you are seeing.
I've had the same problems with friends because they don't see what I see.

When you make a post to the forum, do you not see Attachments and other options ?

Laverda120, I'm not sure what the oil filter is but it's connected to an adaptor that allows me to run the oil cooler off it.
I think the adaptor came from Terry in Australia who is on the sohc4.net forum.
I used the bike for Drag Racing in the Southern States and it needed the cooler on account of the heat over there.
The bike is the American Automatic version and keeping the oil at a stable temperature is critical as I ran in the ET classes where consistency is the name of the game. Get the oil to hot and you're on your way home and it's a long way to England. hahaha

Don't know if this works.

Yes. Surely only the Yanks could find that attractive.
Its a lash up to be honest. 71 K1 chassis on a J plate.
With a K4 engine. I really only bought it for the engine & carbs. I have my old F1 rolling chassis & thought I would use the engine in that. But a F1 is well...just that. An F1.
So I decided to use the 71 K frame instead. This is never going to be a "investment bike" it's for riding & posing on.
It has Menno paintwork F1 forks with twin F1 brakes.
Koni's 2/4 seat Bellmouths, serck oil cooler, & a black early 70's Marving 4into1 pipe without baffle. + rebuilt F1 clocks.
I have tried to repeat my resent pic posting success. But failed miserably.

You shouldn't have a problem mating the K4 motor with the F1 chassis but measure the top stubs on the frame where the shock fits to be sure. If the near side one is longer than the off side one you will run in to problems.
I've checked the measurements of all the frames except the F1 and all the 750 motors will fit in any frame as will any swingarm, it's when you come to fit the shocks and drive chain that the problems start.

That's fine. But I can't see me using the F1 frame any time in the future. I loved my F1's back then. But now I prefer the K models. Besides I have for some unknown reason a thing about J red,g bikes.

Sean, can you check the lengths of the top mounting stubs on the frame of the F1 please (if you have the time) ?
