    OK so you're going to have to spill the beans how many $$ if you don't mind my asking?

    I like the colour, faring styling isn't my cup of tea, but then again you only have to see that once per ride - when you're walking to the bike to get on it

    They should be turning the lights on and welcoming you with open arms. Tourist numbers have crashed.

    Helping a friend with his late 1961 BSA D7 175cc Bantam. Has not run since 1989 and has been under cover in a dry shed, but still needs a going over to get back on the road.
    Wendy's shed 004.jpg
    First job was clean the breaker points and get some spark. Found this in the wire to plug. Worked ok for house wiring.
    Wendy's shed 006.jpg Wendy's shed 008.jpg
    Shall be replacing that with some correct wire tomorrow and fixing some of the other wiring wizardry.

    Don't worry about all them mate, soon there will be a gaggle of baby Linkins running around and you will know the meaning of joy and poverty.

    Swapping all the electrics on the bike today and decided to check valve clearance and they are all right I must have screwd up the last time . The question is how tight do you want the drag to find out the clearance

    I was thinking of Lady and the Tramp movie: when a baby moves in, the dog (bikes, in this case) moves out...

    It's more a matter of no time or energy, so get them sorted now, while you can!

    Also, congratulations!

    More work on the Bantam.
    To set the ignition timing I had to do a bit of a McGuyver to find TDC and then the firing point before hand. The Bantam plug is fitted into the cylinder head at about a 45 degree angle so was unable to use a dial gauge straight down the plug hole, but a piece of 2.5mm welding wire went straight down onto the top of the piston. Used a brass 'T' piece clamped to frame top tube with a piece of welding wire down through plug hole to top of piston. Once at TDC I marked the wire, then removed and made a second mark 1.6mm down (so to be before TDC) the wire and put back in the holder. Turning the engine around with a buzzer on the points wire and earth I was able to adjust the position of the points opening to give the correct ignition advance.

    Waiting on some new carb bits before I can fire it up and feel the power of the mighty 175cc Bantam. :lolsign:
