British Bikes / Re: Tyres for BSA L29
« on: May 20, 2011, 08:48:04 PM »
Hi Rob,
The VMCC do an Ensign Universal Tyre 300x20 but it's £77. An American firm "Croker" do one as well but that's even more expensive and you have to wait until they do a batch. I run this tyre size on the front of my Sloper outfit.
The Ensign will look more period but the Avon is cheaper.
Regards
Sid

Hi Matt,
This was taken at the 2006 Banbury Run where this machine is regularly seen, I though I had a better pic than this biut I can't seem to find it. I'll keep looking. This Mac sports an electric starter and a rorty exhaust (sounds great).

Ooops sorry.
I've done that. I don't think there's a combination of stanchion, bush and slider I haven't tried.
Stafford Show coming up I'll have to see what I can find there.

Haven't tried using a worn l/h slider though in desperation I might but when I'm thrashing into a bend I'd find it more comforting to know the forks are in good order.
The SRM forks sound good, they're 35mm dia all the way down and come with teflon bushes and two way damping but £650 is a bit of a wallet trembler.

British Bikes / Gold Star fork slider
« on: April 08, 2011, 08:30:04 PM »
Hi Folks,
When I apply the front brake on my Gold Star the top of the front wheel visibly tips to the right, and if I'm riding it the bike pulls to the right as well.
Holding the brake on and pushing forward I can see the r/h slider tip back on the fork leg. In an effort to cure this I have changed:
Fork stanchions, bushes, front wheel spindle, wheel bearings and tried two other second hand r/h fork sliders, all to no avail.
I've taken the slider to an engineering firm but they say it can't be bored.
The only person I've found with a supply of new sliders is not selling them separately, he wants to sell me a complete set of forks for £900.
SRM are going to sell their own fork leg assemblies soon but they are going to cost £649.
The above is a lot on money when all I need is one slider.
Any ideas anyone?
