Hi guys----------- I realise some of you older "sweats" might know this one but maybe the newbies could put the info to use ??? BEEZABRYAN ---- sorry to say but YES, those are clutch chainwheels from BSA B40 bikes (or C15 )... The set-up speaks for itself although in this particular case I do need some slightly longer all-thread bars.-------------------------------------------------------

Looks like a gyroscopic shock absorber says the wife,i think you`ve got Yorkshire blood in you.

Alan, that's neat. I've been thinking of building something similar and you've given me a few ideas there! REgards, Mark

alan what did you do with all the rollers?wouldn,t mind 10 minutes with the bird on the bike on the giants of rock c.d NOT HALF!!ATB PAUL.

Sorry, could someone explain this? Compress the shock, but why? It may speak for itself but not to me.

John, to get the shrouds and/or springs off, you need to compress the spring and then remove the collet(s) at the top, a bit like a valve spring. REgards, Mark

Ah yes! Now i notive the new shroud!

Good use of surplus parts that can still be re-used for their original purpose.
......... I do like a good improvisation avoiding the expense of "special" tools

Using Alan's idea I've been looking out some bits and bobs from the scrap box to make something similar. I need to strip the shocks for the Ebay Bullet soon so now's as good a time as any! REgards, Mark

Hi guys----------- have just seen this on E-Bay... Would be easy to copy ?? }------- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motorcycle-Re ... cles_Parts_ ----------------------
