Are there any specialists that can make a set of 1929 druid forks for a model 9? Does anyone have a pattern for such forks? Also, I'm looking for a pair of...
Sun shone today (a rare thing this summer in the UK). Took the Model 9 on a run down to Studland beach over the chain ferry. Just coming off the ferry, the...
Hello all - Can I ask a question of the Model 9 owners out there? Whilst I thought it was the inlet valve top that had sheared off above the valve collet,...
Craig, I don't know for sure how they are held on by Sunbeams but on all other ohv bikes I have they are just placed over the valve head and prevented from ...
Thanks for the reply James. Maybe I did have valve float. Its possible that it over reved whilst I was trying to get off the chain ferry? Tappets were my...
Thanks Paul. Agree on spares (I have a Velo as well, as you know). I guess its because they weren't the same manufacturer post war, so the period when mass...
I know what you mean about spares support... but I feel that sunbeam is no worse than other 20's bikes... just seems like slim pickings out there for them......
James, I think you have a point. The VOC doesn't stock much for mk1 cammies, and certainly nothing for pre-GTP two strokes, which were 100% of Velo ...
Speaking of which; on our Girder Fork Ride last weekend I lost one of my 'wing' nuts, star washer, and friction disc for the lovely Andre fork damper aside my...
depends on the size. Draganfly stocks some for Ariel steerig dampners and Cornacopia also lists a few. stainless may work harden, your best bet is to get them...
I spoke to the former owner and he confirmed the bike is (was) fitted with valve end caps. Hopefully he has a few spares. Ducati ones seem to be an 8mm valve...
Went to Beaulieu autojumble at the weekend. Got a couple of end caps from a Matchless, and they fitted ok - maybe a tad "shallow", but am back on the road....
Craig, on ebay at the moment is a lifetime supply of valve caps; item # 320159232636 Perhaps you can become the world's supplier of Sunbeam valve cap spares? ...
I have just got a very fine 500 ccm Lion Longstroke SV 1934. The engine is running very well. I have searched 1000 websites without finding anything about pre...
Parts may be hard to come by, you can get litature from BMS or the VMCC's library.. a google search will turn up these sites. regards james ... From:...
I bought reprints - copies made by Mercian Manuals. You might be able to contact Mercian here: Mercian Manuals Ltd http://www.mercianmanuals.co.uk/ email:...
Thank you for the information, BMS was not so easy to find, but to day I have got mail (snailmail) with 3 Sunbam reprints, so it was very usefull to me...
I am researching for a friend who doesn't have internet access, he has what he believes to be a 1935 250cc ohv M16 Sunbeam motorcycle, frame no: 532.104.,...
Hi, I've got one, some apare engines and a few odds and sods including some literature. What exactly is it your friend requires - PS I need a RH foot rest and...
Yes they seem to be quite rare. Only made for a year and not popular with the 'beamers at the time, due to early model problems, they seem to be a forgotten...
Hi, I'm looking for the following parts for my '29 M80, please let me know if your able to help: C801 Exhaust valve guide for hairpin springs(I could swap for...
