Might aswell fit a Chinese copy off ebay. A third the price and everyone Ive fitted has performed perfectly. Alledgedly made from the same components in the same factory as Dyna just without the stickers. Approx £75 against £225 Hi Warren I went for the Chinese option! Finally got myself an advance...

Nice set of J forks removed from my French Model J2. Stumbled across them yesterday - on eBay too but prefer to go to a member. Chrome is excellent on the stroke area. Couple of very minor marks above that but will be good as they are. Will need seals and paint of the legs. £160 posted in the UK.

Nice job on the carbs :up Looks like a bit of hard work ! What did you use to shift the black paint ? I've a clutch cover here I've coated with Nitromors twice now but it seems the modern stuff just doesn't work - its only rattle can black I'm trying to shift - it'd be quicker to just scratch the p...

Hi All Not posted for a while so thought I would update. It’s progressed a good bit. I built my first ever scratch built wiring loom, well happy with it as it’s a tenth of the size of the factory one and has all the functions I needed. (Ignition and lights) lol. Any nice to haves were junked. Kitted...

Hi All, sorry maybe an obvious question but I’m finishing off my z650 build and I’m missing an advancer. Ive built a z750 engine for it and It came with electronic ignition. However I’ve binned it and gone for Dyna S type unit, but I still need an advancer. Now I notice the 650 and 750 have differen...

Chris Perfect, just what I was hoping to hear. Yes I am changing the clocks so no stress there. Ok will get them ordered up. Cheers for that! Lee How did you get on with the PMC loom Lee ? I know it's a little while ago now ... Hi sorry not been on in ages and missed this. It was a while ago! It we...

Perfect well let’s give it a go. Sent you a message. Thanks Lee

Ok just back from a trip. See pics below. Two are ok and two damaged. One has a slight bend the other is worse and has some damage from manhandling it out.

Hi! Ok this could be the way forward. But I have at least one which is bent out of shape as they were seized solid. Let me inspect closer when I’m back at the weekend and see how many I need to replace before reseating Thanks for this!

Looong shot but don’t suppose you have any more of these?

Thanks
Lee

Managed to get a day on carbs today, did some plating and cleaning and looming nae bad! Bought a carb rebuild kit which is total garbage of eBay.. Apart from the gaskets all useless, so will still need to order a few bits. But happy with the progress.

Hi Guys Thanks for the advise, I’m running an offset from sprocket with 18 teeth just to give me some more clearance. So I’m going to go for a standard ZRX rear which I have in good order, giving me around 2.5 and take it from there. Easy to go smaller later and remove a link if needed etc. Will kee...

Hi all Been trawling through lots of threads on chain ratios etc and wanted to get some input before ordering parts.. Z650 with z750 Engine - Final Drive stock is 2.63 Running a 17” rear wheel and 530 Chain Thinking to stop the ratio to about 2.5 to adjust for the 17” wheel Would this make sense or ...

Well dug out the set of 24s and they are looking pretty rough! Will get on them this weekend.. see how they turn out. On another note I’ve been figuring out what I need to do with the back sprocket and looks like I need to come in 5mm so that’s sorted. But need to decide on a ratio to use! So sugges...
