Hi Brian, have a really good look for it, because they aren't cheap..
If you can't find one, PM me. I bought one recently and could part with it.

Re: New member, '52 VH500
Following Admin John's ride, change the oil and wash out the oil tank.. (just use something cheap first up, 20/50 or so). 1960 oil was probably detergent free and the new stuff will loosen plenty of crap.

Re: Sleepless Night
Glad you and your family are Ok David. A close friend was able to save his rural home and sheds in the Samson flats fires here a few years back. Fire on 3 fronts.

Re: Cylinder head with issues..
I'd use it as an opportunity to get the whole lot fixed properly. Grind down the shoddy welds and redo if necessary and have the crack fixed at the same time.

Re: Balance factor
Thanks David and Charles. Paul, I'm not sure.
I expect most will be around 65%, but understand that many factory bikes may be closer to 60%. Lower with a heavy piston.
My VH (before balancing) was terrible at 60mph, with high frequency vibration, but I wasn't clever enough to check what that % was.

Re: Fiberglass mudguards
Hi Wade, this is an Australian maker. https://vintagesteelfenders.com/mudguards .More expensive, but well made.
There is a list of Ariel patterns on the home page.

He does have sheds full. I don't think Eric is that keen on selling though.

Re: Fiberglass mudguards
Hi Wade, I'm with Nev. I can see that the quality is poor, and take your point - but you can rework steel.
At the end of the day, it's your bike and money.

Balance factor
I'm after 'hands on' information about balance factors for 500 singles.
If you have had your crank balanced to a particular % number, could you give a 'seat of the pants' estimation of where it starts to vibrate?
My VH is 67%, has a 24T primary, is smooth until about 90kph (55mph).
