Wow!! Is there room for the fuel inlet or to be able to get to the adjustments on the sides? Bill |

Hi bill, yes it is a tight squeeze ,though the frame has dints in places and they seem to match different points on the carbs. Boucher. |

The smallest things seem to take the most time, though I'm still making progress. Hopefully it all goes well and that old oil gauge goes up with the revs. Fingers crossed. Boucher

Quote: The last 10% of a build always takes 90% of your time! Close It's called the Pareto-principle or the 20/80 rule. Coincidence ? Pareto was Italian. And the bike You're working on is a PAR(allel) TWO cylinder Tremendous job You've done, reworking left and right side of the cases. Did You use the original gears to work the camchain-thing or are those also modified ? We sure are curious about hearing that engine in bocca'l lupo ducadini |

Hi,Yes it used the standard cam chain arrangement , just juggling cam chain teeth and off set keys as the engine is slightly taller. The engine side covers were as pete smith made they are original as is the gearbox and dry clutch. Boucher. |
