Hi folks,
I haven't posted for a while as my old girl has been trouble free, and I don't feel the inclination to convert her to a cafe racer yet
( Although I really like the Vinago's).
Some of you may recall i fitted a single Harley Keihin carb a while back, and although it ran pretty well it was never as economic, so went back to the Twin Hitachi's. (The best I got with the Keihin was 255km to reserve, but on the Hitachi's I get 290km).
Anyway the reason for this post is advise please:
1) Oil- What do you think is the best oil to use in the TR1 ?
2) Chain adjustment - I still have the original chaincase, and always seem to have issues adjusting the chain. The marks on the chaincase sight hole seem to make the chain far too tight in my opinion, so I'm wondering if there is a better way ?
3) Fork springs - are there any better springs still available?
Is it me or has the price of BT45's shot up ? I thought so anyway, so I've decided to try some Avon AM26 Roadriders instead (these are about 30% cheaper). Has anybody else tried them?
I'm hoping to fit them this weekend, and will post my findings on here.
Cheers for now,
Cliffa
