I'm working on a '59 175 High Cam and I'm wondering if the rocker oil feed line is adequately restricted. The banjo bolt on the timing cover has a roughly 2mm...
Hello Folks, I just finished 2 GS folding kick starters. I used my original to copy, which is on the left in the attached photos. Boy, they were a lot of hand...

Nice work Todd, Good to see someone getting on & making stuff for the bikes. The spline is an awkward size did you get a broach made or plane out each one? I...

Hello Mike, Thanks for your nice comments. I can 't help myself - I like making artistic things and parts for motorcycles. The spline I had planed out,...
I'm getting ready to start my 250 high cam for the first time. I adjusted the points, static set the timing and then went to set the valve clearances. I...
The late 250 engines omit this tie rod & indeed the head isn't drilled to take it. The lugs remain on the timing casings. Its not unknown for the cantilevered...

Dave - I had not noticed this. What are the lengths for the front spokes versus the rear? Are you running 2.5mm spokes or 3mm? Â Oh - I almost forgot - I've...

I think maybe Moto Morini came close on their V twins, which had a high cam placed between the V, actuating short pushrods? Belt drive to the cam. Heron...
Seems like Morini refined the high cam concept & got rid of the troublesome chain. The heron head would certainly provide more efficient combustion than the...
Mike, Your theory concerning wheel spoke pattern being different front to rear is beyond my experience. The evolvement of the cam tensioner styles comes from...

Thanks for the info Dave. I've heard of this trouble concerning hole patterns and such before with Parillas but I've yet to experience it. Something tells me...
