Can you hazard a guess as to what diameter this SLS is? The rim is 19" [ATTACH]

I'd love one of those TLS front brakes on my T90. My SLS does the weirdest thing. As you come to a stop under front braking the steering goes kind...

One more thing. The engine breather has a rubber pipe which, as standard, just points down to the road under the engine. I ran my pipe all the way...

The weather looked bad for the Fleet Classic ride-out on Monday 6th May but we'd booked a room so set off on Sunday afternoon in warm sunshine...

Went for a test run and the transmission with the new cush drive rubbers is definitely smoother with less snatching at low speeds. I'm pretty...

The cush drive rubbers arrived today so I took the primary drive and clutch cush drive covers off. I was expecting to have to wrestle the old...

So we had a shakedown run, me on my T90 and brother Pete on his T140D. We filled up with fuel then rode off. Pretty soon fuel started leaking out...

If the rubber fuel cap seal doesn't work I'll make one from cork/nitrile. Thanks for that darkman. Been riding my brother's T140D around today and...

I've cleaned the bit of paint and rust off the filler neck and fitted a rubber seal. Hopefully that will be better. Planning another shakedown...

Went for an 80 mile round trip to my little grandson's birthday party. The ride started well enough with a 60 mph cruise along the A1(M). Enjoying...

A note about my carb modification. For the last week I've been getting my brother's T140D back on the road after many years. He stopped riding it...

I got the speedo working. I had to do a bit more machining on the gearbox and make a couple of spacers to elongate the cable outer. The speedo...

I've got my brother's T140D on the ramp now. It hasn't run for 10+ years so needs a full service and cleanup. Drained the oil which looked black...

Decided to change the oil and filter. These bikes are not oil change friendly so I set up a syphon to drain the oil tank. It was very slow so I...

Took the carb slide out and applied my modification which you can see in the photo. It's a radius filed into the flat base of the slide just 1mm...

Alys wanted a ride on the bike so I suggested a 10 mile trip to Old Warden airfield but no. She's a veteran of Brit Butt rallies and European...

Added a 160k resistor in the main beam warning light wire which gives a dim blue glow as opposed to the garish blue dazzle I got on my test run...

Spent some time cleaning the Concentric which wasn't too bad given it hadn't been used for years. Fitted it, tickled it and she fired up first...

Went for a night ride to adjust the headlight. Hard to start from cold which I suspect is a problem with the PWK enrichment circuit. I'm going to...

The mixture is about right by the spark plug but I'm tempted to put the concentric back on while I thoroughly clean the PWK. [ATTACH]
