I don’t thing mines the same as yours - the stems I have match those on the front. These holes are blank, not threaded, go through to hold the mudguard.

Yeah, it’s the rear stems, I’ve got the nuts at the front but don’t know what the thread is. All OEM as far as I can tell.

After a rudimentary (epoxy) quick refurb on a tank I obtained, with Rostio two pack treatment, it’s all started leaking. As with most old tanks I think it’s probably too thin to mig the holes.
Would a quality liner be a good move? It’s already been de rusted and enamelled. Currently drying out in the garage.

The return cable has snapped on the bike so that answers that one.. the K1 tank just wrecked my plaid shirt with another leak so the K2 tank is going back on, will get migging on the K1 during the winter...

And I just picked me up a lift so I can finally get the back wheel off!! £40 off eBay just round the corner too..

Studs ordered then cancelled by the seller! Ok for now..
Threw it together and after forgetting to turn the fuel on and spluttering to a halt after 1/2 mile..... she runs lovely. Not that revvy, I’m learning to plan my acceleration, I’m very happy. Need to sort the front brake as not that good, but considering it’s lack of use everything runs freely. Had her up to 75 with no drama, that’ll do for me :-)
I know it looks different but it’s what I’ve got and I’m pleased so far!

All the caps are straight so I’ll look into getting the right ones thanks. I think the stray spark is actually a leaking down pipe seal, I’ve just nipped them up by hand with a 3/8 drive small ratchet and guess what another stud has snapped! Eight more ordered....

After starting to go off topic on other threads I thought I’d best start a proper build one..

As bought;


Dunstall exhaust, carbs properly cleaned from this state




Sourced a tank...



Gave it a once over for now with Rostio and cellulose Porsche Conda Green




After rebuilding the carbs, cleaning the entire fuel system, replacing a bodge points plate with a good used one, still wouldn’t run or even start. Pulled the plugs and put the used ones that were in the tool tray back in and off she went! No4 cyl still not playing ball but I can hear a stray spark under the tank, so checking the HT leads as soon as I can cobble up a temporary tank - I’ve drained the 750 tank and I’m waiting for the Rostio enamel to dry..
It has been buggered about with in the recent past, cheap Chinese points self tapped into the plate, crimps on the LT leads, possibly wrong coil, definitely wrong plugs! Loads of iffy wiring to be sorted. Just trying to get it running reliably, enjoy a few rides over the summer then plan the works over the winter.
