With my golden components I just gave them another coat and baked them again at lower temperatures, the crankcases were left to bake when the engine was running.

I did a similar thing in that my silver VHT paint went golden, I set the oven in centigrade not Fahrenheit.

I will never forgive Triumph for "stealing" the Rocket 3 name from BSA, I loved the original Rocket 3's style.

Sounds similar to my 750F1 left a lot of parts including the clocks alone, for the clocks I just replaced the chrome bits and resprayed the black.

Thanks for that, I do seem to remember something along those lines, as to your bodgy job, if it works then it was not a bodge.
Nowadays I must admit that the thought of ripping the clutch apart does not thrill me.
The olden days when I would wrestle a 750 engine out of the frame on the drive by myself and rip it to bits are long gone so I will leave it as it is as it still drives and rides nicely.
Thanks and Cheers

It's near impossible for me to get mine into neutral when I pull up at the lights, I have to cut the engine select neutral and restart the engine.
This is nothing new, I have had the bike since new April 1976 and it has always been the same.

I left my 750F1 on the centre stand for ten years and had no problems, but as Ted has said the clutch was a bit sticky.

After nearly 40 years working on oil refineries I've used them all on too many occasions, but in the house and garage I have CO2.

Continental and in the past TT100's for me on my 750F1 and being old fashioned I always run at 30 psi, I tend to ignore manufacturers blurb.

My cousin Rob had a CB72 and at the time it was my dream bike, at the time I had an AJS 250 (Saphire Sports?)
Sadly I never owned one, I stuck with Brit bikes until I got a Yamaha 80 which completely changed my mind about Brit v Jap bikes.
