    Seven loose fillings - what? wow

    Yes. I put a flatbar there for seat mounting. I plan on redoing the seat mounts this fall since they are only temporary and quite ugly and i will take a look at reinforcing some other places. The current seat mount is placed right in between the shockmounts and should do the trick. I might move...

    Seven loose fillings - what? wow

    Got the frame back home at eastern and left it there waiting for summer. Brought my dads CZ 125 engine back with me. He is the only owner and i guess he bought it back in -74, had it for 1-2 years and then some bearing was shot. It has been sitting for the last 42 years(!!!) and i wanted...

    Seven loose fillings - what? wow

    Next on the list was a silencer mount. Found the one made by the previous owner in the car, it had fallen of due to poor weld and vibration. The new one needed to be rubbermounted so i took some 40x40, notched and drilled in the mill and turned some aluminium bushes to save the rubber from being...

    Seven loose fillings - what? wow

    Back to university and Link?ping, went home over christmas and stripped the bike and got the frame down to Link?ping, we have a workshop at campus that i thought i should get some use of. I didnt like the pegmounts i did earlier so i cut them off and made new ones. Made out of 60x60mm...

    The problem is that the black stuff is gigantic and completely dwarfs the tank without the tank cover. Problem 2 is that with all the black fairings on you have to be a gymnast to ride it.

    Seven loose fillings - what? wow

    Yep! Milled from styrofoam with a 5-axis wooden mill. Made at my university. Should have done them in MDF instead but this was cheaper and quicker in the mill. Some may call it cheating but it's atleast more built than bought.

    Seven loose fillings - what? wow

    Thanks for the support, i guess i've come to the right place. The seat was a true pain, aprox 200-300 hours from CAD to first finished seat but thats what it takes when you don't find what you like on ebay and doing it the way i did with a reusable mold. I'd love to have some sidecovers but it...

    Where do i find replacementcarbs for GS 550 E 1978?

    I need bigger ones. 605 or is it 610?cc-bore. Completely rebuilt head and so on. Been on the dyno but we have some trouble making the 22s keep up. I guess there are no fancy new ones that fits? What can i get that fits without to much hassle? VM26SS? VM24SS? Do they fit? Carbs from the later gen...
