Issue 2. On my last ride out on Horace, I noticed the gear change was even sloppier than previously, even missing gears sloppy. Checking out the mechanism showed me that about 1/4 of the movement was taken up with pushing the Gear Change Shaft forwards. The Boss on the outrigger plate had very badly...

Greetings ! Horace has done 3740 miles since the grand overhaul and has been running splendidly except for a few "issues" that have cropped up in the last few months. Issue 1 - Oil Temperature Alarm when the oil Temp hits 150DegC. (Oil T) I have a full on Motogadget set up and one of the s...

Hello - Does anyone have one of these Clutch covers with an added oil filler for sale ?

Or know I could make one - thinking of the threaded part to be welded on.

Did you use the original master cylinder with the cable?
Cheers

I bought it as a job lot from another Z owner, it came with a Lockheed master cylinder.

Ignore the corrosion, it's the only picture I have of them. This is what I had to do to sort the brakes ! Obviously I went onto further mods a bit later on.

Like Zed said there i used an out riggger plate and a gsf1200 slave as i had one on my Bandit 12 i bought a Nissin master from Webike. Getting the distance in spacing and the length of the push rod right was a chore but works a charm now.IMG_2718.jpg I have a very similar Plate made by Spectra Engi...

Next project Rob ??

It's one of those installations where you look, cock your head and look again and think - someone really worked out the geometry plus thinking outside the box to use the kick-start space to good use

A beauty - the rear brake Master cylinder actuation set up is very impressive.

If you have trouble with the clutch slave, which you prolly will with it being Ducati, then Oberon make much higher quality that will bolt straight on.

Further north than that though - top of the A15 and along the M180 to the Scunthorpe turn off.....

Out on the roads of north Lincolnshire - 150 miles ride around to see how it goes.



It goes very well with no issues when I returned home

That looks ready to go, once you have a screen, original spark plug caps too ! Just a couple of things to look for in my experience: Underneath the front mudguard for corrosion where the rivets go. The condition of the frame around the right side swinging arm pivot - mine rusted through where water ...
