Re: Ooops I bought a classic "box of bits"

Thanks Tim much appreciated, I've managed to blag a frame but got to see if I can get that registered, trying to get a rolling chassis together at the moment & engine is with Jim at bikecare in Bristol.

Re: Longshot, engine/frame number queery 04639

Just filled in a V62 & sent it off to DVLA, I know its a long shot but it's only £25 so got to be worth a punt - probably all depends on who opens that particular post & if they have any christmas spirit in them.

Re: Longshot, engine/frame number queery 04639

Thanks Tom, that's an interesting & positive piece of information & yes I was aware of the club's dating works - need to get this built up before that happens though & it's very much in its constituent parts - probably need to start a thread in the projects section.

Re: Longshot, engine/frame number queery 04639

Thanks Steve, there is no engine with it just a bare frame but if engine 04639 is out there, then yes might be UK registered but I suspect even it was the engine is possibly long gone. As I say it's a long shot (extremely long 😕).

Longshot, engine/frame number queery 04639

Recently acquired a 500 frame from tony fellows who reckons he's had it around 25yrs & judging by the rusted in place centre stand spindle, it's probably be in the UK a fare while before that, but there is no paperwork or reg number with it. The longshot question before I vanish down the black h...

Ooops I bought a classic "box of bits"

On the basis that the worst case scenario would be that I'd get some new stanchions, a set of rear sets, a strada top yoke, some refurbished wheels and a stack of spares I stumped up £1k for this nice little project on ebay recently. Current plan is to get the engine either given its last rights or ...

Front disc wheel bearing spacer (edited)

Bought a dismantled bike recently & appear to be missing the spacer between the bearings on the front wheel, someone must have one knocking around. Thanks

Edit:- 500 twin disc & 350 single disc wire or cast wheels all have the same part number and should be 17mm id 25mm od x 61mm long

Re: Scrambler exhaust

I have one in the garage loft - I fitted a mass Moto low slung system in its place, saves loads of weight and sounds great 👍 for the right money I could be persuaded to part with the original. Also have sump guard & headlight mesh if you are after the full scrambler look.

Re: Paddock stand - Abba

Late to the game but I was given an Abba stand the other day & fathomed out that the 22mm & 24mm sockets I have fit loosely into the adaptor cups and work perfectly on my Scrambler without any adaptors being necessary.
