G'Day all,
I've been busy getting my machine ready for a 2500 mile ride to be done over 8 days in November for the Prostate Cancer fund raiser!
So far I have rebuilt the top end and checked the bottom for play and had magneto rebuilt.
Rebuilt my back axle and brake, replaced clutch and front brake cable and am well into my engine run in.
Gearbox changes fine, doesn't do anything strange and the clutch seems good (I can even change to neutral at idle) and my front end including brake is all good.
New wiring loom sitting in the shed awaiting fittment (I got sick of chasing shorts and built a new one)
My last remaining item is my carburetor and a filter. I currently run an AMAL 376 that needs some attention. I am looking to fit some sort of tube to the air intake and extend it out to the side of the bike where I can fit an air filter (temporary but will probably stay there for a while if it works)
I am trying to keep the weight down to 125-130kg all up (including me) to avoid strain on the old girl.
I intend on taking spare cables, points, plugs, tyre tube and repair kit, tube of high temp gasket goo, emergency oil and fuel, duct tape and tools... And possibly an airhawk seat cover
Anything I've missed?
