Re: Ariel VH 500 Dream

Auto jumbles are not what they were 30 years ago before eBay and other modes of floging stuff. lots of folks selling sweets and cheap tools. Its a shame but best to start with a running bike and sorts it out if and when you want to.

Re: B-TH magdyno

Hi Folks I have had my magdyno BT-H on for about 15 years since I made the prototype with no problems except a new clutch spring as the fibre wheel was slipping a little a few years ago. The original MO1 platforms were very wear prone but not the BT-H one. BTH Componants took over my business 10 yea...

Re: Spark Plugs

I use B7ES and have done for years. I must have had the plug in for about 8 years. Always starts first kick and usually does about 80MPG if I keep it about 55/60mph

Re: Two into one exhausts

I have a two into one on my Hunterbird. The Thunderbird motors had one on. I also have one on my Commando f/bed. They're a lot less noisy than two pipes, they weigh less, they give access to the primary side and I haven't noticed any difference in performance. Let's face it all cars and many bikes h...

Geoff said it may be the lever inside the outer cover just touching the inside of the case and lifting the clutch. He may well be correct. It st...
