I been riding on Avon Venom's since 1993, 1st on the 67 700 then in 05 I stole them off that bike & put them on my LM3, then in 07 after the wreck I put them back on the 67 cause it was still bare rims. Haven't checked, cracked or wore out yet but real close to bald.
I'll ride on old tires as long as they are not cracked, checked or slippery. Use them up.

I have never seen anything on that spot, nothing. No oil in there & no set end gap that you must have. Never seen anything since smallblocks have been made back to 78. I wouldn't put anything there, you may get the little hole plugged up for draining a leak.
Here is another Q------------Does the parts book show anything? I think not! Carry on w/your discussion.

I'll answer my own question. Metal gaskets are used in high temp.- high pressure situations, paper gaskets are used to seal two mating surfaces to prevent wate.r intrusion and to keep the joining surfaces from corroding together. Someone may think of more reasons.

There's a drain screw (originally an "allen"/socket head) down at the bottom. To refill, I put a jack under the sump (with wood to protect the fins), unscrew the bolt holding the damper to the top plug (M8), raise the front end a little - forks should extend - dampers drop out of the top plug. >OR< leave the M8 bolt in, unscrew the top plug from the fork tube (helps if the top triple pinch bolt is loosened), lower the jack until there's a gap between the fork tube and bottom of the top plug enough to pour oil into. Measure the correct amount of atf and refill. One of those pointy tips from a gear oil bottle makes a good mini-funnel.
The spec. for SP forks is 40 cc each leg, but 850-T is 50 cc and T3 is 60 cc. It's only for lubrication.

What is the advantage, one over the other?

I have a question. Metal vs. paper gaskets. In this case, between the Breva 750 transmission and bell housing. It came with paper. Does it make a difference? What about thickness differences, etc? I don't think there is any end clearance set by this housing. Any experiences, opinions, obsevations to share?

Those two excellent bikes seem almost identical. Isn’t the Honda basically a Japanese Stelvio with the same paint scheme or vice versa, the Stelvio is an Italian TransAlp?
mmm. not really, Stelvio would go head to head with the 1100 Africa Twin, which is a sort of larger Transalp.... at least in italy, they are about same price too

Okay first dumb series of questions. Having read the clymer 850 section on forks i am confused as to what needs to be done to do a fluid swap as it seems they want ya to disassemble the whole
Fork and 1/2 the front end. To drain and refill
I just need to remove the hex bolt on the center on the top guessing 32mm nut then take the 32mm nut off turn upside down to drain then refill? As Charlie said these are probably sp forks
Do they get atf as well and how much should each get?

Greg's website has been my go to place for help while I wrangle with a Buffalo Fairing for my 1974 Eldorado. Without his help I would have never figured out which bracket goes here and what bolt goes where?!? The bike sports his wiring harness and other goodies from him. Many Thanks Greg!
