Re: Wiring Loom Length Query - Series 2
Many thanks for the reco, cgt. I've never had a single problem with anything I've bought from SR over the years, so I'll get one of theirs

Wiring Loom Length Query - Series 2
I'm going to fit a simplified Casa-type wiring loom to my Series 2 as part of a rebuild, with one of them fancy back-to-back brackets for the CDI and regulator that fix to the original coil holes. My query is over the length of the looms available: as a Series 2 has a higher headset than a GP, and t...

Re: helicoil or chemical metal
Stripped the thread on mine, so tried chem metalling a stud in as a quick-fit bodge. Didn't work - the heat made the chem metal go soft and crumbly. Insert or welding is the only answer I'm afraid...

Re: Layshaft opinions
^ Agree. Due to the splines, No.2 is a scrapper: something bad has happened to this in it's past, so I wouldn't trust it. No.1 and No.3 look ok, but being safety-critical I would clean them thoroughly before giving them a real good looking at. Check endplate end in a new needle roller bearing in a k...

Really like the colour scheme! You must be very chuffed with how it's turned out. I would be!

Re: Oil throw washer.
Sorry, misread your post (ie you hadn't replaced the washer with a shim as I said, you had fitted a shim UNDER the washer to space it off the crankcase). Good luck with a different washer.

Re: Oil throw washer.
Hmmm... If the drive side bearing is fully home, and the crank is free with the sprocket bolt tight with a shim taking the place of the washer, it must be the washer itself... Maybe try another one as a quick check? The washer is obviously there for a reason, so I wouldn't just replace it with a shi...

Re: Oil throw washer.
10", without looking, I'm fairly sure the washer is clamped between the inner race of the bearing and the drive sprocket sleeve, so the few mm of difference you mention with the crank shouldn't matter (someone please correct me if this is b@11@x!). Are you sure the back of the washer isn't rubb...

Re: Oil throw washer.
Is the drive side bearing completely home? If not, the back of the washer could foul on the chamfer in the crankcase. Or is the washer distorted in some way?

Early Series 2 Horn Fixings
Hi all. My Series 2 has the earlier "W" shaped folded metal horn bracket (not the later single stud). The current horn is a non-standard one with a single fixing tab, fixed with a self-tapper. Obviously the original fitment was a horn with two fixing tabs, but what fixings were used?: the ...
