Thanks Doug, just glad to help in some way and really pleased you seem to have sorted it.. Brilliant

(PS my stage name probably has more in common with Scooby doo and your high street shop than... )

well looks like i have found a clutch damper gear in australia from the same source as the rotary discs and covers,even has a complete engine. just waiting for a price and shipping for the gear didnt want to ask shipping cost for engine. the old girl has been relagated to the side of the garage for the time being, as just bought a cx 500, yes a plastic maggot! fast becoming a classic, would you belive! and a 1980 gl1000 naked.That have been in dry store since 2006 both very tidy and just need servicing and cleaning. Well the seat cover turned up good quality but in black, seems unless you order them out side ebay and state colour you get a black one!!! well that was the sellers excuse, black is listed you and buy that colour even if you state you want a different colour! so becareful out there

Relegated to the side of the garage?

Wotchagot ? Always keen to expand my meagre stocks...

well my gear arrived very nicely in the local aus free adds, this is better hopefully i can get it fitted in the next couple of weeks as the goldie is nearly done. as i have said several times "should be on the road next summer" dont forget if your looking for that odd part for your kr tandem check out 2 wheel wreckers in aus very nice and helpful people, had a mail today Tim told them about your site and they have been on there and obviously will spread the word, next update should read running with no noise [-o<

=D>

DEJUVU!!! had this feeling before. weekend is the time to run up [-o< after clutch gear fitted, ok we have a bit of wear on the crank splines but hey ho! if every things ok, [-o< paint is next, silver, but sadley a black seat covering for now.

can't wait to see it finished Doug, good luck

I'm the same Ben, it's going to look the Dogs !!

well today was the day! filled the reserve tank with premix as a safe guard then spent 10 mins kicking,thought s**t better fill the gearbox, 30 mins later she fired up, still abit of a rattle below 1000rpm but shes running ok. the noise i had before is still there but no were as bad, i think its just the wear in the crank splines causing it. sorting the carbs out and sod it, the phone rings so i turn her off, answer the phone and bugger me a ppi recorded message, dont you hate them. Well lets carry on would she restart hot???? nooooo. at that point put her back on the bench to do the carbs, as per manual before having another go, i was pretty shagged out by then, my god its a hot one today, so called it a day and went to the pub for a few pints of addlestones .I must build an electric rolling starter. now gonna move on to the paint work, get her registered and sell on, i know screams of horror, but enough is enough, my patience is depleted. 4 years on one project is to long. the next pics will be the painted lady, ready for her next carekeeper. (maybe)
