I love old videos like that. Even though I'm grateful for the technology available these days I always think I was born too late. That's the generation that never wasted anything and made the most...
you're not allowed any lights including a brake light which i think is rather dangerous. Speedo isn't needed either, i've not had one on my bike for 3 years and it's passed a full test every time....
That was a later 12v 200cc which was ideal as they use the CDI ignition so no battery required. I liked the fact it had drums front and rear and loads more aluminium which could be polished. There's...
Has to be a Honda Benly, picked up my first one for £50 and hardtailed it. I knew nothing about wiring but this bike taught me loads.
Before and after....

Looked into this a bit more today and found a more powerful ultrasonic bath. I should have it some when this week so we'll see what kind of results I get. I will report back as soon as I've used it....
I've got 2 pairs of carbs here which need a good clean. I've had a search locally and cant find a lot apart from ebay which is telling me £50 for 2 carbs. Seems a lot to me when i could buy an...
Hello, I'm also in Frome, probably not far from you either going by your pic.
I know there will be some people who will shoot me down for this for insurance reasons but maybe a list of willing people with trailers/vans and location on here would be good? I've got a trailer and...
Not really in any order and i'd use them as much as I use my XS.

I've got a 53 plate Combo 1700. The load length is a bit smaller but i couldn't be happier with it. Easy to work on and service when it needs doing (20k for oil 100k for cam belt). I did the belts in...
Just been over, he's on the case. Top bloke.
Thanks XJ
I need a brake and cable custom made for my bike. Is there anywhere around the Frome area i can go? I've used speedy cables in Wales before but it would be easier this time to take the lever/drum in...
I'd say your right, there's a few on ebay and they look the same.
As for the webs, it did.

Petrol tank this time, i know it's Triumph but what model? Had rubber knee shields at one point. Seam round the belt line and fairly flat on the bottom. This is the only before photo i have.

Good call Jon W, the only difference i can see is the extra holes between the spoke holes. Cant see why it would of been done after the factory and it's way too accurate for a home job. Still, at...
Thanks all, didn't think to look for a part number. I couldn't match it to any photos on google so was starting to be concerned. It's not urgent as the shoes have plenty of meat on and i will have to...
Recently had this laced into a 21" rim for my bobber project but what's it off? Need to know so i can by new shoes when i need them and a brake cable. I know it's Yamaha but what model?
Please...
I'd like a CB500 and a Benly thrown in for that!
No, bought it new off ebay which now means a long drawn out prosses to get some money back.
Hello all, I bought a new battery for a bobber project i'm building and after a few days head scratching i think i have found the problem. I wired the bike so it would run which it did so thought all...
Indicators and telescopic forks. Standard fit in 1920.
It's ok for someone who want's a classic looking bike without the oil leaks and points adjusting but it's not a lot of bike for the money.
Tin foil = no tape haha
I had a standard sidevalve Ford Pop a while back. It would do 40 at a push but stuck to 30 most of the time.
I had people flashing their lights, waving their hands and blowing their horn at me...
Thanks Ducatista, One more question and i dont mean this natsy i just want to know.
Who's getting rich off the £149?
