Good luck with your search, Chris.

Re: J - Refresh
Nice to hear from you Al.
There is no doubt that you are far ahead of me in understanding the J. After all, I was only ever trying to keep things stock.
The hours I've spent reading your threads

Re: J - Refresh
Here is the finished bike. I am now unlikely to use it so will be exploring options to sell.
I tentatively offered the bike to visitors at £12k and did discuss including it in the Silverstone Auctions sale next spring.

Not that I know of. I was going to suggest asking Peter Krauss but you have other contacts in Germany.

Re: Greasing Swing Arm
That’s the ball ache with grease nipples. It must come out of both sides.
You may have lots come out one side but not the other, then it gets messy.

Hi Scott.
They should all have a stamped in the headstock number. Around that time KHI started riveting plates in as well. My J has in on the left down tube just below the headstock.

Tell me Mark.
I was going to mention procrastination but I’m not sure what it means, I’ll look it up tomorrow.

Re: J - Refresh
Now I need to turn to the forks. A thread by Al some years ago has given me more pause for thought than almost anything ever posted here. I purchased some new bushes a couple of years ago but have postponed doing anything until I am at the stage where I can safely strip them out. I have decided that...

Re: Clock Bracket (Update for members)
I'm bumping this from the archives as a couple of members have requested foam. I can't believe I originally did this 12 years ago :shock: I knew I had some left. So, anyone that wants some is welcome to it, free, gratis, at no cost. Be aware though once it's gone it's gone. I remembered that it's ca...
