The rebirth of Lazarus
mickwinf:
Thanks guys I am pleased with it up to now. Ken the fork ears are k0 ones I got from America as they were in good condition and reasonable price, and also had the reflectors already on so will keep them. Bike is a UK spec k1 quite a late on reg 1975 I think.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Mick that looks brilliant - I can't see my 500 getting close to that.
What size are your rear rims are they 185 x 18 or wider do you know what the width of the rear collars were?
mickwinf:
working on the speedo and tacho, trying to make up a decent pair from the originals which were in bad condition like everything else on Lazarus, and a pair I got from Bryan. Tacho has been stripped and lubed and painted ready for re-assembly but struggling to fit the two halfs together. The problem is the sealing rubber between, it is hard to hold it all together to get the chrome ring back on without the rubber getting dislodged. Lots of swearing but no luck yet. Also got a motad exhaust today as the budget does not stretch to £1300 for the original style, maybe later. My partner asked me the dreaded question yesterday, "how much has it cost you?" errr ummm not sure but too much!
Bryanj:
Cut a hole in a piece of ply that the clock top fits through but the chrome ring does not then a rew dabs of superglur to hold the rubber.
Then you can push the base in with one hand leaving the other to try and recrimp the ring
mickwinf:
yes will try that Bryan, already tried glue but not superglue.
