Re: Black Ariel identification?
W is 1928 and engine 8125 was a model B despatched to Czechoslovakia in frame W 9250. Frame W 1180 went to Toronto as a model A with engine W 2927. I doubt if there are many parts in Canada but Ariels of this period are better served than any other make so if this era of bikes takes your fancy an Ar...

I would certainly be fiddling with the carb, try one of another bike. I don't know of Ariel fitting BTH mags except on early KH models, although they would fit anyt...

Re: 1930 Model B Running Problem

Re: Hartley Ariel in Auction
Interesting in that the register has a record of the engine in this bike being fitted to a 1954 KH PRF frame dated July 1981.

Re: Question about Altette horn
Not easy as the copies are really quite good. The originals will have a small triangle of Tufnol attached to the terminals with a month and year of manufacture impressed. There are of course modern copies made with 'Lucas' on them that are officially sanctioned by the trade mark owner and so are gen...

Re: Replica Speedometers
The speedos i use are made by Sigma, some are very flash and will give 0-100 mph times and many other things, a bit over the top on my 1932 side valve!
