Bullet Iron Barrel / Re: Catastrophic gearbox failure
« Last Post by Adrian II on Today at 12:50:03 pm »"Get me a crocodile handbag gearbox lay shaft and make it snappy!" ? 
The oddest failure I heard of was (I think) on an old BSA single, whatever was supposed to be securing the drive side half of the crankshaft in the flywheel failed, result was that the engine was still running with the drive side flywheel spinning merrily on its main shaft, just nothing getting through to the transmission.

535 Continental GT / Re: A "Rockers" GT535
« Last Post by GUNR on Today at 11:14:47 am »Ben, did you stay with the 2 original holes but open them up to to 8mm? That's what I did (instead of following the instructions which say to have 4 holes in total) and as you say, the difference is night and day. I used a long 'pickle grabber' tool to seat the YSS emulators after the oil was poured in, so reaching them again will be easy enough.
Did you get your fancy new rockers installed and did they look better than the original 'plasticine looking' ones?

350 J Platform / Re: Any recommendations for dual sport tires on Hunter?
« Last Post by Turbofurball on Today at 10:35:13 am »There's not a huge selection of 110 wide R17 tires available here in Europe, when I was looking I got Pirelli Rally STRs which IIRC come stock on an Indian (the brand, not the country) scrambler or something. They're an ok 60/40 tyre, grip well on the road and do fine on most non-extreme off roading. They're quite pricey though.
If there's space to go up to a 120mm wide tire on the hunter there's a lot more choices.

« Last Post by Trebor on Today at 08:45:33 am »I'm guessing spark plug area drainage for rain/snow/condensation. Water can eventually rust the plug into the hole. Maybe the factory drilled them to preclude warranty work?Thank you that sounds a good design feature
