Got back last night after 9 days in Saas Fee, Switzerland.
Weather was fantastic. Tee shirts all week. The locals had never seen weather like it in late october.
All those triples have done a great job with global warming :smt023
Sad to miss out on Stafford though. It wont happen next year because I wont let the missus book flights when there is a bike show to visit

I've spent the past couple of weeks trying to separate the barrels, crank, pistons and top crankcase from the A7

The crank and pistons are not worth saving but I've been trying to save the barrels and top case using ever more brutal procedures. Got some success today, an undamaged cylinder ......

The other one's not given up yet but neither have I

Got home last night on my kh400 with dim lights,system not charging.
Just 12.2 volts with the engine running.
So today i have fitted a new combi rectifier/regulator from a Royal Enfield.
Its a small unit that will fit in the same place as the original voltage regulator.
Now get 14 volts with engine running & with all the lights on.
It is not a plug in & go unit.it needs to be wired in.
And good value at £11 airmail from INDIA.

i am using the same units on both my machines, they really ensure you get most out of your alternator
:smt023 good value for your money

Hmm - I have been seeing what fits and what's missing on the '70 H1.
Checked out the wiring - a little modifaction to the existing very lightly chopped loom.

Tomorrow, like last Sunday I am off to London and getting paid for it & taking Jo with me.

I will be working for our sister company K. C. Jones Express haulage
I have to pick up my delivery in Rotherham, it will be ready about 10.30am, then I have to drop off in Edrith at 7 pm.

So we have a few hrs to kill between pick up and drop off.
Another trip to Camden is looking likely, it is about a 3 1/2hr drive back to the depot, so we don't get back till late.

Good job Monday is my day off !!
