Agreed, ALP is merely one example, albeit an excellent one. But they are out there. There is some cool racing folks all over, NYC Norton Kenny Cummings might be a contact if you can get a few minutes...

I am still not 100% here, But I can say, that sometimes when you cut a frame, or even a car, fixture or any other structure the whole thing can go PRANG and go catty wampus because something had...

A picture showing it, Ideally with a tape measure or better with Calipers illustrating would really help. But also be helpful to KNOW what you are working on? Stock bike? Bolt on hardtail? Weld on?...

Kind of weird how he cut & pasted a wiki article to tell us all what many of us already knew? Well not everyone,,, but still,, WTF???

But speaking of Rickmans, I got one, And it came with a title...

Ok, got it,,, I am no expert on 45s, but I would think some big twin setups would be overkill, But no reason to re-invent the wheel if you can adapt something. I know NOTHING about big twin 6 speeds...

Dont overlook adapting an existing kit from something else and then sizing a belt. I looked into this for final drive and primaries and Gates has a interactive design feature last I tried it. CAD...

Id generally agree except on Oil pressure as thats more variable,
A) It depends on where you take your pressure readings, There is several ways to plug in a oil gauge and not all the same (Nortons...

Personally, I think its dumb to wear tennis shoes or canvas anything while riding, Id rather sweat than bleed, I do/did have a variety of Military boots and even in Turkey, (Incirlik AB) we had field...

Assuming nothing terrible inside, Its a weekend of wrenching, even less if you do them often. But I would advise take your time and do it right. Its all basic stuff, and easy, But there is a ton of...

Hate to pee on your parade, But research SLUDGE TRAP! Its totally acceptable to get one running for "Proof of life" but for the love of God & Edward Turner PLEASE PLEASE dont go riding it.

Those indeed were BSA Forks, easy to spot with the brackets facing forward. The wheel looks like a 64-65 Triumph

I wouldnt mess with the timing other than to check the points in the end of the mag, DONT sand the points! use a cotton based business card or artist card stock paper between the points when closed...

The Alp guy TNC pointed out, has impeccable credentials... But it depends greatly on what KIND of race bike, Clearly LSR, but it can get quite complicated, I know some people in the LSR community and...

Its not just that Sporties are "Good enough" Having owned and ridden a huge variety of bikes, some of us PREFER the Sportster platform. Stock out of the box Sporties outperform a big twin. It not...

Are you in the market for one nearly exact as that? Im in the middle of some other projects, But if we could meet at a price we both can live with, I have a bunch of orphan chop baskets in storage,....

I cross posted that Norton-Matchless-Magnum cafe on the local Norton club forum and the AJS-Matchless forum which should dazzle some, and offend most. THANKS for that! I enjoyed it.

There is a...

Will add, that I did some business many years ago with a local chop builder and he was running a Springer. He didnt notice it until I pointed it out but he had ground down half way thru his spokes,...

It appears they are selling off at least SOME of their bikes, who knows? Maybe just excess bikes, maybe the kid has a different vision and going to restock with crazy Asian bikes instead.

But on...

What do you want to know??? The bike is obviously a 650 Triumph, based on what little I can see its likely a 64-66 based on the kicker cover . Its a twin carb head, but the bottom end could be TR6...

Now you are getting somewhere!

Thats a total bummer, Quite the museum from what I heard. Any idea of what the future plan is? Everyone is going to die sooner or later,,,,(Death & Taxes) so, hopefully they have a foundation or...
