Finally after too many years I'm working on my 500/4

Rides again, getting some random cutting out under power, starts after a few dozen kicks so a bit more setting up and checking. Spent the whole day fault finding wiring and so on, seems the resistor in the regulator was causing a short to earth, after much testing by my mate who understands electrical trickery. Luckily I had a pile of spares to swap out.

Always good to see a bike with a chair attached - reminds me of my very brief ownership back in 1966 of an Aerial Square Four with sidecar attached - oh how I wish now I had kept it - bought from Spotrtarama in Chesterfield part of the old Brocklehurst Motor Group for about £60 !!

Interesting set up, wondering if the extra springs on fork stanchions was a three wheel requirement? Also requires drink holder on side car! 😂

Looking good - That windscreen is huge!
matthewmosse:
The springs were something I'm trying out as a more sophisticated way to compensate for the extra weight than 6" pre load spacers used previously. I honestly cannt remember if that means I actually used a different set of forks though - I think I did. Certainly didn't dare strip the 6" preload spacer forks. Does seem to handle a bit better. Sadly means I loose the gators.
An Arial square 4? At one stage that was my dream bike. These days this old bikes my ultimate bike.
