Hi Pete I believe back approx 2012 you made a conversion to your rocker feed using 6mm copper tubes etc, you done this for a sight glass. I am fitting an external filter and need to alter the supply pipes, And wondered if you are still using your bike with that 6mm tube which has different feed lengths to the rockers and if you had any problems? Thanks Steve

Yes Steve. I scrapped the system in the end as the filter part kept leaking. It was a petrol filter after all and it didn't like the heat I suspect.
I had no problem with the piping part of it however.

Thanks for your reply Pete, how long did you run the modified pipe work. Steve

Also Pete where did you manage to source the 6mm T piece, I'm struggling to find any. Thanks

[PeteF]

I think I ran the whole thing for a few hundred miles. As I say, the pipework was no problem. The original equipment is just brass piping soldered together so as long as you can solder properly you'll be fine. The pipe and fitting came off eBay but can't remember where.

Steve,



you might be able to squeeze one of these in somewhere above the front engine mount.

Hi Adrian thanks for you reply, I already have a filter head from these people. http://www.norvilmotorcycle.co.uk/techtalk13.htm

Pictures would be good when you get it fitted Steve.

Will do, be a couple of weeks, reassembling the engine at present.
