Hi Bytio ,
Thanks,
I read on another forum that the carbs on the F2 don't have adjustable needle valves ( in the traditional clip and groove sense ).
Is adjustment via a shim or some other method?.
Anyone have any tips for cleaning these carbs out, thinking I might leave them all linked up if possible ?, strip down the internals , clear out and blow through passageways using carb cleaner making sure not to miss any, any tips on how to get the outsides cleaned up , read of someone boiling theirs in lemon juice! . Could send them to get ultrasonic cleaned but would prefer to do myself.
thanks daz

Hi all,
Can someone tell me what 2 sizes up would be from standard on the main jets for an F2? Running a 4 into one exhaust and pod air filters on a project and was advised by the exhaust manufacturer that that was the way to go.
Also - I need to strip the carbs to clean them, anyone know where to get replacement gasket / seal sets from?. Carbs are only 10000 miles old so won't be worn.
Many thanks Daz

Hi,
Anyone know the correct sizes for the bolts and studs for the fork clamps on a 78F2?. Or better still, can anyone point me in the direction of somewhere to purchase replacement stainless hex headed ones?
Many thanks daz

Looks like someone has ground the seats for the handlebars off of my top triple clamp, does anyone have one for sale?.
Thanks daz

Forks sent off to Philpotts, (or rather picked up by their courier), thanks dad  We also sent a full set of brake pistons which they might be able to sort too. Will let you know the outcome once we get them back. Thanks everyone, Cheers daz

Thanks all,
Maybe getting my pitted forks re-chromed properly is the way to go, a bit more than I wanted to spend but perhaps there's no other choice, is £160 a reasonable price to pay?. I've found the Classic Bike article and its a great read for explaining the process!.
As for the old gits!, maybe I should be tucking early cb900's away ready for when I qualify as an old git! Any opinions on the next classics?
Cheers daz

Another vote for triple S from me, I've just had my comstars from my F2 powder coated in Gloss black and they are fantastic (well as good as a pair of comstars can be) Both wheels and cush drive worked out at £120 for the finish and bead blasting which isn't cheap but then again the comstars are not the easiest things to get right. Top tip is to remove as much grease and oil as you can before taking them in.
Cheers daz

Good point re the 130 width rear, there seems to be limited choice anyway so looks like it will be the Roadriders. Sure I could get a 130 in there but removing the caliper each time I wanted to remove the tyre might become a pain!

Apologies for hijacking this thread but -
I'm building a cafe racer on a 78 F2, and I was looking for 110x90x19 and 130x90x18 tyres, anyone got any recommendations for good available rubber at this size and also 100/90 X 19 front and 120/90 X 18?.
Many thanks
daz
