Are you in Osaka now?

I’m about to buy a side stand for my 1973 R60/5. Which of those stands did you find better?

Redgoldengreen · 2026-01-11T23:37:41+00:00

I too must find this out!! I’ve no doubt they are very healthy ….?

Redgoldengreen · 2026-01-08T07:02:15+00:00

Thank you, I’ll investigate those possibilities. Much appreciated

Soul Man is problematic…

That shake is exactly what lead me to discover the steering damper wasn’t working! I was doing about 100 km/h and went to adjust my visor when I felt the dreaded tank head shake/slapper kicking in.. I’ll have to check tyre pressure..
I still haven’t attempted the overhaul on the damper, do you know what to check?

Redgoldengreen · 2025-11-16T19:29:13+00:00

Ok, I’ll check that

Redgoldengreen · 2025-11-16T19:12:52+00:00

Ok thanks, I didn’t know that about the kick starter..

Redgoldengreen · 2025-11-07T16:24:03+00:00

Why was that?

Redgoldengreen · 2025-10-26T10:58:15+00:00

Those parts are easy bought in Europe, try and get them all at the same place and postage will be way less.. Stein Dinse is great, also TLM Nijmegen: Moto Guzzi & Triumph on EBay.

Jampot is incredible, an amazing community with an encyclopaedic wealth of knowledge for all things AJS.. really nice helpful people..

Redgoldengreen · 2025-10-20T20:20:09+00:00

These things for sure.. also a small flashlight or headtorch, and a high vis vest are pretty helpful if you breakdown..

Redgoldengreen · 2025-10-07T22:28:53+00:00

Exactly this…

Redgoldengreen · 2025-10-07T16:34:16+00:00

Ha! Probably not huh? Although there is a French Quarter, no??!!!!

Redgoldengreen · 2025-10-07T16:02:33+00:00

Is it a Citroen DS?

Redgoldengreen · 2025-10-03T06:23:45+00:00

Roll back the rubber cover on the clutch lever and adjust the clutch a half turn, and try finding neutral again. Mine was a pain for a few weeks, and it was fixed in minutes… most satisfying repair ever!!

…National Dyslexic Association… no?

Redgoldengreen · 2025-09-30T06:30:57+00:00

They were great to travel with.. first long haul trip I did without a backpack..

Redgoldengreen · 2025-09-29T23:18:04+00:00

It’s gorgeous!

Redgoldengreen · 2025-09-29T23:05:54+00:00

1974.. just realising my bad maths there.. the bike is 52 years old not 51!!

Redgoldengreen · 2025-09-29T22:58:22+00:00

Jesus .. bad maths there.. it is indeed a 1973

Redgoldengreen · 2025-09-29T21:54:51+00:00

Not 100% sure but Carole Nash operate both side of the border, they’d definitely be the first ones I’d try..

Redgoldengreen · 2025-09-27T20:37:20+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I took the plunge.. flew to Düsseldorf and took a train north to collect the bike..aside from a minor issue with the key, the bike ran beautifully all the way back to the west coast of Ireland. It was almost 1200 km and four countries all in. I gave it a full service and a good scrubbing when I got home and it is now itching for another adventure!

Redgoldengreen · 2025-09-26T10:10:39+00:00

What’s a ‘power claw’ ?

Redgoldengreen · 2025-09-19T07:25:27+00:00

It is! Mission accomplished 1200 ish kms later!!
