2 Strokes Down Under

They were on JustBikes and I only found out about them via a tip off on the Aircooled RD forum, so it was a bit fortunate.

They are certainly a rare machine, so when you see one for sensible money, you have to move quickly.

I think Yambits did sell them D but I haven’t looked recently. If you are really stuck, I may have a spare genuine MC in my box but it would need refurbing.

I use the air gap method personally D, although I would have to check my service manual to quote you the actual figure. I also use 10wt oil to firm up the action.

I generally check in on this site every few days, just to see what’s cooking but as Jools says, it’s usually pretty quiet these days. Like JonW, there’s no way in hell you will find me on FaceSpace ever, period, so forums are really my only way to stay connected. Hey D, a mate and I have just picked...

Now sorted after a long search

Now sold, thanks Jon

Will do Jon

I am offering a good set of LC clocks for sale complete with upper and lower case covers. They were working when removed from my resto project and have been stored for a few years. The redline on the tacho is a little faded and there is some yellowing of the white 1/10 km digit as well as some marks...

I am going to be selling off some of my surplus parts, which can hopefully help others out with their projects. The first of these is a very nice Mk1/2 X7 clockset, which comes complete with the all wiring, the mounting bracket and ignition switch with key. I am asking $200 for this, so please let m...

Hoping to have a day in the lockup next week Jon, so will get back to you if I find one.

Thanks D, long story short I thankfully found a kind fellow VJMC member to rehome the DT in Adelaide for a couple of months before a haulage contact kindly bought it back to Sydney via Parkes for me. So it is now here on the Central Coast safe and sound but appreciate you reaching out cheers.
