The ebay breather looks like it comes from Germany - £26 with postage here.
Now that oil pressure guage - I really need one of those! (I think). Can you point me in the right direction?

Cheers Mick. Can I ask what that is coming out of the engine case below the cylinders? T the right of the kick start? Is that an oil pressure gauge?

Hi the only breather pipe left was the one from the rocker box I put a fancy chrome breather on and connected it to that cheers Mick.
Very cool thanks. I fitted the K&N pods this weekend and removed the baffle from my new exhaust. Its not going any faster yet, but sounds great! Presumably your breather came from the states? E.g. CycleX?

Mick - can I ask, when you removed the airbox, did you add a fuel catch can for the breather pipe to the airbox?

Thanks Mick, appreciate the first hand experience.

Hi,
I want to remove the airbox on my F1 and replace with pod filters. In all honesty my main reason for doing this is for looks although the bike is running a little rich so it will be interesting to see if the filters lean it out. If the carbs subsequently need rejetting then I'll do that, but what are the best filters? I'm seeing K&N 40mm filters listed for the F1. Are any others recommended?
Many thanks

New exhaust to get the bike though an MOT. The sawn off Motad was not going to pass and was a bit too loud in any case.

Thanks for the info! Part of the problem I'm having is that I'm not sure what I have exactly as I didn't do the conversion. I bought it mainly because I wanted one that still had a kick starter! Interestingly the front right fork appears to have the holes necessary to mount a second caliper, so I had thought that the builder had converted it to a single disc for looks. I want to convert it back or maybe even fit a different set of forks (as long as I can keep the wheels).

Hi, I've got interested in older bikes over the last few years and last year finally bought a 1978 F2 SOHC that has already been turned into a cafe racer. It's turned out to be quite a project and having replaced almost every baring in the engine and the gearbox I now have a bike which runs properly. I'm looking for information on how to further improve braking and suspension. It's a fun bike. Thanks
