British Bikes / Sturmey Archer engine.
« on: February 20, 2018, 12:45:07 PM »
Hi All.
Need some help. I have a 350cc Sturmey Archer engine in my New Henley and its very hard to turn over. It does turn over but it's too tight to kick.
What could be the problem. I have drained out the oil and refilled it but it's still the same. I can just about hand turned the engine sprocket but it's
very tight even with the spark plug out. All it seems to do is mess up my kick start ratchet teeth.
Any help is most welcome.

British Bikes / Update on the New Henley 1928, 350cc
« on: May 02, 2017, 10:54:17 PM »
Hi All,

A while ago i got some help from the good people on here with my New Henley restoration project.
I hope i got most of it right as i didn't have much to go on at the time. I am hoping to get a working Burman gearbox back for a
very nice chap in Milton who is helping me out with some issues.
 
This is how the NH looks like now. It's based on the NH that got a 2nd place at the 1929 TT.

British Bikes / Vehicle registration help.
« on: December 12, 2015, 01:31:39 PM »
I'm having a problem with the Vehicle registration of my New Henley.
DVLA are saying I need to get a reliable vehicle owners club to verify the bikes manufacture and year of registration.
Problem is there are no New Henley clubs out there.

Does any of you good people know of a club that DVLA will accept that will/can verify the bike. I have sent them all the info/photos I have including what members on here have posted for me. They have offered me a Q plate. NO THANKS..

Thanks in advance.
