Mark get youre bike dirty!
First test ride was good after second rebuild, little pinging on low rpm, but I think octane booster will cure it.
Fun machine



Nice bike. What's the kick starter off?

 I never did like the look of those later beezas, I drooled over the older 'goldies,' they were and still are a beaut looking engine. Pitty about that pissy crankpin with the stupid tapers into the flywheels responsible for the destruction of so many crankcases!
 I used to crack test the Goldie crank pin in my old B33 after every second meeting, most times it was cracked . Old stan Ogden fixed it with a parrallel pin.
 cheers pancho.
dont follow me i'm probably off line!
