I need you all to nip over to: http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=3049.0 and beat up our Aussie mates.

I started this thread many years ago and seem to have been humiliated every 2 years ever since!

So when you are on the road and the sign says "Gloucester 44" - do you mentally convert it to km or just know that it is 44 miles?

Bryan - how come your truck is measured in feet and inches but tonnes and ice is measured in inches but distance in km?

That last one got me - the last thing I can think of in metric is distance (that and mpg anyway)

I one was told by a gas pump attendant in the USA: "We're going metric - inch by inch" !

I hate people on eBay who can't spell.

Why use a word like "aquired" if you can't spell it? What's wrong with "bought"?

When checking the prices of bikes back in the 70′s, Comerfords ad was always the first stop.

In 1970, they had a regular

Very rare to find one with an original exhaust. Most have Motads...    :(

If you just want black, ask your painter for a good modern gloss black and don't worry too much about paint codes.

As for exhausts, the 650 came with a 4-2 originally so a 4-1 might look a bit naff. The Motad will be cheap and quiet. Marshall Deeptone is a hooligan exhaust. Don't know about the Marvins.

Hi and welcome.

For positive identification, post the frame and engine numbers here.

F2 had a black engine but yours may have been swapped for a K-series (some say they were a more robust, if less powerful engine)

Just use normal unleaded, these bikes were made for it in the 70's

It should have a centrestand - exhaust clearance would not have been an issue as it was designed that way. Take a look underneath and you should be able to see the mountings - then off to eBay!

Rhos: Probably. He has nearly 1000 eBay transactions with 100% +ve (and he's never SOLD anything...)

Ash: All I know I have put up on the website. I didn't know the Dave that Steff mentions.
