Cheers trigg
I did see the USA ones I did figure that was the route I was going to have to go......I was kinda hoping to find a uk supplier....still there cheap enough not to have my pants pulled down on import taxes...

Yeah it's a survivor ...and it has a v5 ......just passed the mot too?
I forgot to say its the fuel tap with one 6mm fixing through the middle not the later bzp (I think that's right) fitting

I think some other small honda taps are similar so maybe someone can tell me if another is compatible

Hi just a stab in the dark
I picked up this little 1975 xr75....
I think ineed a new fuel tap  ...as the one on it keeps letting by no matter where the lever is ...I have put a new rubber in its still the same there must be something else letting by possibly in the body....it has stood for some time
Any thoughts or does anyone know where I can source one ds and cmsl can only help with spares...but I've done that?
Cheers in advance

Hi of possible mock some up..
I often work with 20mm conduit and have a pipe bender for work so I've often played around with different bar set ups?..
try with a straight bar first any pipe of a similar diameter will do even chop up an old broom handle.....just give it a whirl ..personally I like straight bars and have always found them comfortable ...Norton done a nice set with a very shallow sweep on them
My clip ons on my avatar bike are not to bad but after a couple of hours I do get it in my lower back....

I'm 41 now and I'm sure it's not going to get any better

Kick start rubbers have a slimmer profile

From personal experience I would start all paper work now....it can drag on
Get as much sorted as you can as you go along...
Believe me its a right arse having a finished bike and then spending 3 months sorting paper work out before Its ready to get out there....
Remember you are now dealing with the HM revenue and customs and the dvla ....... 2 government bodies...do I need to say any more?
even better if you know a friendly mot guy who will help you muddle the bike through sooner( if you know what i mean) great then there is nothing really holding you up

CB750 / Re: Wiring - what thickness
« on: October 23, 2014, 10:08:13 PM »
Cable/wire is measured in the cross sectional area 1mm2......1.5mm2 ..etc...I suppose you could ascertain the area with micrometer but it would need some sort of equation ....as its just the diameter
Speaker wire is good as it contains many strands .....or pull something out of some flex 1.5mm2 is probably near the size required....

Something very satisfying about a real clean wheel and a new boot....
And also for future reference there is paint on brake rod arm
..
And I have the plastic caps...

Tricks & Tips / Re: tyre change helpfull cheap tool
« on: October 18, 2014, 11:49:30 AM »
Hi got it if ebay. It's a RFX race series bead buddy....my mate was using it on an mx wheel and I wasn't sure if it would work on a smaller rim....it does
I couldn't believe how simple and easy it was...i always hated changing tyres but this makes it simple.
With a bit of soapy water you can almost walk the tyre on with just a small lever on the last fee inches...

Tricks & Tips / tyre change helpfull cheap tool
« on: October 18, 2014, 11:17:05 AM »
I saw my mate in his workshop using one of these. You might all know about this but it looked real easy so I ordered one.....makes changing a tyre a lot easier and stops you having to chase the bead around the rim...and all for under a tenner ...just hooks over a spoke and work away.....
