Wanted Bikes / Dog-Ear J.A.P. single cylinder engined bikes
« on: May 26, 2008, 12:54:06 PM »
I have a 350cc Dog-Ear JAP that started life as a New Imp Model 6A factory racer in 1926.  I have a suitable New Imp frame, forks, gearbox and wheels etc, but want to look at pictures of similar period racers in order to decide on details of finish.  

Anybody got anything like that?  Or know where I can find pictures?

thanks,
Helix

Head bolts/nuts are all fine threads and shouldn't be over-tightened; use a ring spanner and pull with your little finger in the opposite end.  This way you get even tension with minimal risk of stripping.
