Way back in September of '09 I purchased a couple of front indicators(compleat)for £30-00 from Cornish Motor Cycle Spares.I expect they are coppies but they look ok to me,rgds,J.B.

Hi Dave,you sure about the 3/4" each side? 'cos I don't think a 40mm diameter circle will fit in a square 3/4" down each side smiley,the memsahib(she's much cleverer than me cool ) seems to think that 1"and 5/8ths is about right. The general sensuse of opinion at Popham on Sunday seem...

Hi guys,a rather interesting article in the latest copy of MAG caught my eye,helmet stickers in France!!,but the sizes required were given in mmtrs (18mm2) evil the only size that I could understand was a circle of at least 40mm dia:and as I am off to the wilds of Belgium at the end of the week can ...

Hi Mick,top chain gaiter, 1 and a 1/2" up and ditto down, has allways been my tension test,the "push the gaiter to the frame" as recomended in the manuel seemed to me to make the chain a tad slack,but hey,what do I know smiley,(and I,ve never been able to cure the "chain snatch&q...

Hi guys,The usual suspects from the Essex branch of the NOC will be lowering the tone of this most excellant of rallies, , can we expect to see some of you rotarians there? rgds,J.B.

Thanks for that Richard,if memory serves,the last time I had the switch off,(can't remeber why,it was a number of years and many miles ago )I put it back without the paste and it seemed to work just fine,so I'll do the same this time ,ride safe,J.B.

Hi Richard,am I correct in thinking (some time ago)you told me that there has to be some sort of "paste" under the temprature switch? (the one on the Classic has come apart and I am having to fit a new one)If so,whats it called and where can I get some?rgds,J.B.

Hi guys,The folowing information is for the young(ish) owner of a grey Commander that I was talking to at the NOC bash in Kent on Sunday, and he wanted to know where I purchased the "Screen Spoiler" fitted to my Classic.I bought it from "Harwood Performance Source Ltd", Alfreton,...

Judging by all that bureaucracy, the b******s from Brussels have done quite a bit of their training in the States ,J.B.

I expect your IP2 will wipe the floor with most '80 bikes exept the big Jap stuff,and even then I don't expect you'd be to far behind,(especialy on the twisty bits )J.B.

Didn't want to take the Classic to the States anyway ,J.B.

Hi von,Iv'e used C8Es in my Classic for the last fifty odd thousand miles and found them ideal for mixed riding,fast m/way,normal dual/single carrigway, poodling round town (and also the odd track day here and there )rgds,J.B.

Hi Del,hope you have sorted out your Dommi wink,I hear that you had all sorts of grief coming back from France smiley Have you reserved your seat at the Chequers?

A hundred apologies Paul,I had to make an urgent visit to the doctors, the only apointment I could get was for 1600hrs,(tests are ongoing,)hope the NHS can sort me out, ride safe,J.B.

Hi Richard,if the mounting bolts for the carbs were loose would that not make the running of the bike a bit off? And Gripper,I don't see how oil from the dash pots can dribble all the way down to the underneath of the bike without being blown away well beforehand,but thanks for the sugestion guys. I...

I think the price says it all,(3K for a half tidy one)come to selling it on and I don't think punters will be beating a path to your door,but hey,what do I know J.B.
