European and Other Bikes / Re: Benelli 254
« on: January 02, 2011, 12:39:24 AM »
ive got one, a red 1982 one. starter is gone and ive put off replacing it because of other projects, it wasnt running when bought, i done the head gasket and a few other bits, sorted some dodgy wiring and got it running , rode it a few times and it was nice.
from what i gathered there was 5 imported to ireland by a particular dealer, they were too expensive so diddnt sell (almost twice the price of a honda 250 ) so 1 was kept for the dealers daughter and the rest exported .
you can still get parts in germany from benelli.de , ive got a few bits there and would reccomend them .

thanks for that, got it sorted , sweet bike to ride , lights aint great but i think its an american spec lense.
any reccomendations where to look for parts, ill be needing indicators, right side handlebar switch (on off for lights buttons broke), lights for dash or even a dash itself ,the lense and a few other bits .

British Bikes / commando charging q
« on: November 05, 2010, 11:31:56 PM »
ive a mark 3 commando , while testing the charging system i got irratic readings on the multimeter, holding at 12v (battery was charged ) ,with small revs it seemed to drop in power but when given a bigger rev and revs were dying the volts went up to near 13 volts, im presuming this is wrong an am putting off heading to a show tommorow over it, shows 50 miles of a journey so im weary that it will get there and home,

bike had been lying up for 5+ years .
any input?

Hi,

I am in the process of trying to build my own chopper. I have built a bike before however this is my first attempt at a chopper. I am trying to find front forks......either to buy or to be made.....

Can anyone helpwith this I dunno where to even start looking....

Many thanks

Dougie
what yokes are you using?,what diameter forks do you need , what size wheel ,lenght of fork is needed.
breakers yards can be a great source for forks for choppers.
what engine and frame are you going with btw?, i;m a bit of a chopper nut meself .

it might be worth doing a compression test.if its not ring then a leaky valve seal perhaps.cant think of any other way oil could get to the plug.
