The ball bearing rusted in my caliper and wouldn't seal properly. I didn't realise this, and in an attempt to stop the slight weep, I stripped the thread. I repaired the caliper using a Wilwood metric brake bleeder insert. This required drilling and a helicoil. I had to modify the bottoming tap so ...

Plan is to use the money to get myself yet another Kawasaki triple - love the flippin things.

I have a soft spot for them too (mine's the H1A)

Hopefully it's not the left side crank bearing. These often "let go" at around 50,000 km...

I fitted a Honda style clutch perch to my 3 1/2 Sport, that's also fitted with swan-neck clip ons. Huge improvement

For my 1976 3 1/2 Sport:
Shinko 712 Sports Touring
110/90-18 61H rear
$129 AUD

These have served me well over the years

would it be possible to call you in a couple of months for any info i need

That might be tricky as I'm in Australia!

You are lucky enough to have the original pick up as the NLM one can be a difficult thing to set up

I've had the NLM pick up fitted for years. It's not that hard to set it up. I find using a piece of paper to set the gap is the way to go (you can't use standard feeler gauges because of the ...

I recently bought a "GP Clutch Lever Mount 7/8" front brake perch for my 3 1/2 Sport from 4into1motorcycleparts on eBay (because the action is so much better than the Morini original). I complimented this with an alloy mirror mount from AliExpress. Some nice AliExpress 10cm stainless mirrors ...

What model are they please

VM28's (probably a bit bigger than necessary, but re-jetting isn't that difficult). You also need the "top hat" type plastic/metal insert that goes into the carburetor mouth to allow them to be mounted to the standard Morini rubbers (I bought aluminium ones from NLM ...

Didn’t really want to go to the expense of that really, I guess it’s new cables as well ?

Yes, home-made cables using Sturmey Archer three speed bicycle bits.

I struggled for years trying to tune the Dellorto square slide carburetors. The Mikuni carburetors took a little while to get right ...

Mikuni's!

A cheap master cylinder from AliExpress works very well indeed (their braded steel brake lines are good too!)

Barleycorn Engineering do them in stainless steel...

A vast improvement!

Just to add my $0.02 worth - the indicators have provision for an earth wire - I highly recommend utilizing this
