Re: Strada/kanguro Hybrid

I can't answer your questions but I do have a '76 strata with an X1 engine fitted. Only significant difference is electronic rev counter rather than the original mechanical one.

Engine doesn't have electric start and is a 12v system.

I'm not concerned about originality and the engine runs nicely so I'm happy with it just interested to understand the difference. Only issue I had when rebuilding was miss matched...

'77 strada with X1 Engine

I have a 19977 Strada that I bought a good few years ago and have rebuilt. It came with a replacement engine from a Kanguro X1, the non-originality doesn’t bother me but I’d be interested to understand the differences between this and the original. I believe it has plated barrels (Nickasil?) but not...

Re: 3 1/2 right side, side panel wanted

I gave up looking and ended up buying a fibreglass replica from NLM. Not what i wants but to be honest now the bike is painted in doesn't make any noticeable difference. If you have your heart set on a metal one I seem to remember NLM had some used ones in stock but at a price...

Re: handle bar switches

Thanks Hombre. I've collected various springs, ball bearings and copper strip and I'm going to have a go at repairing the original switch.

Re: ignition key not retained in lock

NLM do sell a replacement, fits the frame fine but if i remember correctly the rubber boot doesn't fit snugly as the switch has a smaller diameter than the original. I managed to find an original replacement on ebay.
