Interchangeability / Alternative 550 engine
« on: January 16, 2017, 07:12:38 PM »
Hi...I think my bike is a 76 f1 USA import.

I have the chance of a second engine to use or to use as spares for the right money.
It's a 78 k3 ?

Will it fit.
Will bits be mostly interchangeable

Thanks in advance

Hi....I've dug down to my circlip...or what's left of it.
Any tips for getting it out. It won't budge if I try to prize it...the holes and lugs are buggered,

Cheers

Thanks for the welcome.

Niko that looks like a good base, the wheels where first cleaned and wire brushed then coated with IIRC a phosphate primer of some sort, it looked bright yellow/lime green once dry, afterwards they where sprayed with primer and painted with polyurethane, they've held up well so far, haven't been nicked or anything, even when putting on the tyres.


Thanks for the info..

Hello, new here also and building my special. How's the engine, looks in good fettle and clean. Did it run when you had it?. Are you planing on having rear mudguard?, if so I would retain your one and cut down to suit, keep road debris off your back. As with most will state, take many pics of strip down and keep everything labelled, you may need some parts etc from the stripped stuff. Looks like a good starting project, but be warned it can be very expensive and sometimes you will become overloaded with ideas and downbeat when things don't fit etc. Keep at it but don't rush it, ps these bikes are heavy, especially the engine have someone to help when your taking the engine out. Good luck


Thanks for the tips....cheers

How much do you want for that yankee number plate?   There's too many speed cameras around here for my liking.


Not sure that would work Mike.....
