i bought them on ebay they are sold by g plus they look to be well made

The reason I ask is I know a guy who has a set and I was going to ask him what he wanted for them. Just wanted to make sure they where going to fit first.thanks

Your right I took it apart and no wear just a sloppy fit from factory. I couldn't get to the inside gear but I'm thinking it is the same as the gear that's driven by the clutch basket

What year did the black rims come on and do you know if they will fit the 1985

It turns about 5 degrees. Back and forth

Hi guys I'm in the process of a complete rebuild on my 85 and noticed the gear that is on the drive for the oil pump will turn. On the shaft.this is the shaft that runs from the clutch basket and the gear that turns on the shaft is the one that drives the oil pump gear is this normal? Thanks

hi sean,do you offer rod bearings in thickness rather than colors,thanks chris

the Haynes manual says 0.021 to 0.043 mm for oil clearance on the rod bearings,my problem is I bought some nice rods that have been lightened and polished with bronze bushings for wrist pin end,so the numbers are gone from the rods and I was wondering if the bearing shells have a thickness...

I have some nice worked on rods that are not from my motor so what is the ideal clearance for jurnal to shell 1 thou? with greens I have almost 3 thou what color should I try next

hey guys if you have a bike lift I highly recommend using it to remove the engine,i was all ready to use the floor jack and had my son come out to help me do it and he said use the lift wow what a load off my mind you just slide it under the engine lift and roll the lift back out no worries...

My motor has studs for the head but when I went to mrcycles and looked at the motor breakdown the motor had bolts to hold the heads on what one should it be?

Yes I was in the process of removing it and thought I would try removing the front head and I'm pretty sure the rear head won't come off in the frame it looks to have less room than the front head.and can you just pull the pin out and remove the coolant crossover tube in the head rather than...

Well I started tearing it down in the frame and found the front head won't come off it hits the front frame downtubes.but I am wondering if the motor was all unbolted except for the rear engine mounts maybe it could be lifted in the front of the engine enough to clear the downtubes.has anyone...

Thanks everyone I found a good guy here in Ontario Canada that used to roadrace these and he has a set of rods with bronze bushes small end that he is selling me and he seems very knowledgeable
