General Discussion / Re: Set-screw size?

« Last post by Matt Story on April 16, 2024, 06:30:00 PM »

I don't share your bike.  I think there is almost a 0% chance that a European company would use an Imperial thread size (#10-32) on any product from the last 30 years.  An M5 is very close in diameter to a 10-32, but the thread pitch is different.

There is always a chance it has been stripped, worn or re-tapped

Best regards

Something about that first shot, tells me it started out as a Breva. The header looks too small and that clamp around it seems wrong for a Norge.
But anyway. The bottom shot looks good.

Glad to hear you are back Kiwi_Roy!
I have learn so much about MG electrics from the trove of posts and drawings you have shared over the years, I'm tremendously grateful to you for that. 
I hope you keep feeling better and are able to go for a ride when you feel like it

General Discussion / More accidents

« Last post by Tom on April 16, 2024, 05:13:31 PM »

While the wearing of gear mitigates injuries and fatalities, it still does not protect you from an accident when the driver of a car crosses the center line.  A number of recent motorcycle fatalities in Honolulu were reported that the rider was wearing a helmet but the rider passed away.  No connection to the offending vehicle running them over and dragging them.  Just a pet peeve of mine when the tv news media reports motorcycle accidents.  Always the tagline for helmet or no helmet use by the rider.   

For those of you that were stationed at Schofield Barracks while in the Army, it's the 2-lane highway from Waialua to H2.  A nice ride that passes Lake Wilson and the 3 gates onto the base.
