Title: He's back, hopefully!
Post by: Rich A on April 03, 2015, 08:51:27 AM
I saw a machined choke/enrichener lever for sale on Ebay and bought one. Turns out it was some old stock from Joe Kenney. I sent Joe a message, and he said that he may be making some parts again in the future. Good news, I think, as his parts were very nice.

What other parts is he making? I saw that lever, and it looks sharp. I may grab one at some point, maybe after I'm done doing the other one thousand five hundred things to my bike..

I purchased some nice MG belt buckles fro Joe at the VA Rally some years ago.  Very nice.  :BEER:

He used to make fin/head guards, choke levers, Loop sidecover knobs, spine frame shift levers, belt buckles and more.

Is this by any chance useable on a '95 Spot 1100? My plasticky one broke in what,... '98. I'd love to get one of stiffer stuff than the original.

Joe's choke lever will work on the Dellorto flip chokes (on the carbs) or on the 2-into-1 choke actuators like this:

Got it, thanks. Not a bar lever.

Is he the one who made the keyless gas cap for the guppy tank?  I've got one of those.  Everyone needs one.

IIRC, that was Stephen Brenton.

Sorry to have diverted the thread, but that keyless gas cap IS a good product.
