cold but bright saturday, kempton and then over to windsor...

 nice cone shovel in the car park...
can't get the horn? only £15...
 
metric chop for 1450 large or was it 1850...
 Mark and Ed were there 
and I heard some french accents too...
another barn find, tho it could have been sleeping with the fishes...
 
my find, for fifteen pounds and ninety nine pee...
 More holes drilled, 
but this time in search of performance...
but seemed to attract rain!

newlands norton corner on saturday

 nortonia triple
 replica
 norvinnie
 'northern' Micks bitsa
built from spare parts left over from the 'other one' he owns
 ridden hard these two roared in
 authentic touch
 not owned by rivet counters
modern lighting too

A ride to Horsham and back via Newlands.
A one kick day! Christine ran like a clock too, well a meccano clock! 

In pursuit of performance in paradise

K&N airfilter E-3120
the only one that fits a mooneyes aircleaner

  • 1 x K&N E-3120 GENERIC EBAY AD - E-3120 K Custom Air Filter NEW GENUINE K PART!
I sent your order to the K&N distribution  centre to be dispatched to you today. Unfortunately, I have just been  informed that the part number you ordered is not available at K&N UK at  the moment. It is on back order at K&N USA with no exact delivery date  at this time.

So I went on ebay.com and found four of these for sale and ordered one.
Still has to be drilled for the bowl vent and also cut outs for the aircleaner backing plate bolts which rather fucks it up a bit and makes you wonder why one is being such a dick and should have bought an S&S aircleaner in the first place which would allow the engine to breath and probably fucking start!

Does it work any better?
Mixture screw another eighth of a turn out (from 1&1/2)
Plugs are spot on colour wise
 and she acclerates really smooth and hard.

metal fatigue or how many miles does it take before something cracks or breaks

 in this case the Regulator bracket, - 2453 miles
 lasted a little longer than the frame (2000 miles)
 and the rear mudguard bracket (1200 miles)
cadged some angle iron from chertsey blacksmith namesake 'Trevor'
and voila, back together again
- till the next fatigue...
